Where to start with the praise? What a wonderfully constructed and created story. Like you said it could begin at any one of numerous points and equally end so. But in between...wow! I was fully prepared not to like it,having read the warnings,but I did. There were times when the tension betwen Harry and Snape was so intense I wanted to scream at them,always the sign of a fantastic story! Marvellously involved and a joy to read. One to bring out with a favourite cup of tea in a few months time.
