This was utterly delightful. I'm such a fan of dad!Harry and dad-by-association!Severus, and yours were both wonderful. There was only one thing I felt was missing from this story, though, and that is the back story. You did such a nice job building up the intrigue around Lily, and how she came to be in Harry's possession, and who the mother was, and why she picked Harry, and how a Binding Spell was actually created, and why Lily seemed to be so in tune with the two of them (more aware than a baby should be, at least), and so on. I was really looking forward to that explanation and discovery, and was bummed when the end of the story came and there was nothing about it. (Well, that, and I didn't really want the rest of the story to end, either!) So... *smiles becomingly* ...what's the scoop? ;-)
