Oh, I'm so glad you liked it! Mmm, although I do love me a tortured, angsty Snape I found it wonderfully freeing to kill off Voldie in the first war, so Snape could chill out a little! (I love your barrels of guilt btw!) And I had great fun constructing his life outside school.
As you may have been able to tell, I share your dislike of James - I can imagine teenage!Lily having her head turned by the popular Quidditch player, but I can't really see them as a long-term thing. I actually have rather a soft spot for Sirius, which may have showed! *g* Although I admit I tend to think Azkaban was the making of him... *eg*
And I'm so glad you enjoyed my alternative wizarding locations! :D
