Oh, I loved this! I love how you wrote it so that it seemed that everyone knew Snape was alive, and that he and Harry were in a relationship. Minerva's response to the request for more Glenlivet, and Ellis' remark about Snape not being in any shape to come back and teach - it all took on a completely different meaning the second time I read it. I love that the castle was a sentient being, but unlike other stories, was fairly dim-witted. And the ending was perfect. Definitely a fav story here. :)
