wow
i think this makes my list of top five most beautiful things i've ever read. it's absolutely lovely. i really like the memories you chose to have snape see of harry's life. there were beyond the cliche where 'snape sees the truth of harry's life blah blah blah' there was depth and understanding and respect. and i truly truly loved their meeting. the chance to say what they said. to see each other before parting ways. it was beyond tear jerking... it was poignant. i just think this is fantastic. thanks for such a beautiful piece of writing.
