Re: Dawn
"I'm not a teenager anymore," Snape shrugged offhandedly in response to Regulus' question. "As you know very well, I've had far worse things happen to me since then."
He nodded, at once relieved and worried at Regulus' update about the werewolves' circumstances. "It's still difficult occasionally, catching up with all the thousands of differences between this time and the one I left."
"But you're certainly right about that cure," he commented in brisker, businesslike tones. "As a society we have to make that a priority. It'll take away one of Riddle's weapons of terror. He won't be able to hold the threat of turning people over their heads." It was his turn to sigh, and his manner had relapsed into sombreness as he continued, "Of course that doesn't stop him from falling back on the good old standards of torture and murder." he declared bitterly.
