Thank you so much! I can't tell you how great it is to hear that the emotional upheaval - for everyone - came through in the fic. I'd hoped that by showing Snape in the canon 'verse in the beginning would not only give me a way to get him to this 'verse but also show that he was under so damn much pressure that there was no way for him to 'convert' to this new plane easily.
Harry position, unfortunately, was one that had to deal with a ton of angsty type hardship while Severus worked it all out. But, as you said, it was all happy by the end. *g*
For me, this was way more about Severus' character. Harry and Lily and Albus - they were his support, his pillar to lean on and, by the end, his family. So glad, it worked out to bring a few smiles. *hugs*
