I'm so glad I stumbled upon this story. I can't even express myself at this moment. After reading this story I was stunned. In a good way of course ;)
I really,really liked how you created a scenario in which Snape on a moment decided that he should not grieve but strive to get over his demons. With that occurrence he focused on Harry and saved him from years of neglect and both Harry and him no longer experienced loneliness. It's amazing how one moment changes the event of one's life. Snape became a happier man, Harry had someone who cared about him. They both found attraction and finally love. This story has become one of my favorites :)
