Thank you so much for such an insightful comment :-) I totally agree with your reading of Albus, here... and remain ambivalent as to whether he should be commended for respecting Severus' privacy, or upbraided for not trying to reach out to Severus. Mmmm.
I'm also really pleased that the anything bookends worked for you, here - thanks again!
