"The way Snape had searched for his features on Harry's face is a bit astonishing, though. it doesn't really seem like him"

I put that down to the utter shock he had discovering that he 'was' related to Potter, and that that relationship was looking like it might be Father/Son.  He was utterly stunned and then suddenly in a panic to see the 'evidence' for himself in the boy's features.  It's not really him, not the normal him, you're right, but I liked the idea of him getting so caught up in it and showing his more tender side.  Glad you liked it ultimately.

 Thanks for your review!

Ah, face it - ya love me! :D

Well, Sluggy whipped up a very quick antidote for Ron in the films, so I figured I could have Sev do it too... why not, I thought to myself... ;)

And what specifically do you find confusing?  Obviously you don't have a definitive answer yet, I understand that, but I thought the rest was rather straight forward.  Maybe I can explain for you if need be?

 Thanks so much for your review!
