I just now finished the lastof this, which I had started to read some days before - too busy RL. This was Intense. It was truly bittersweet, with the stress on bitter, like 72% dark chocolate. It was amazing, yet a little too sad for me, yet the ending was fitting. I cannot help but wonder if the 2nd Snape lost, due to the prophesy, but maybe not, in as much as Dumbledore said it was not that prophesies were true, as that people believed in them. And Snape, in any world, is enough of a pragmatist to see that. Wow. Just starting to breathe again, now.
