*chuckles* I like it. I found it almost more humerous than angsty; it was played out well, and the angst was there, but almost more in the background. You had to keep a little bit of an open mind as far as certain details went (forgivable, considering the publishing date), but even they weren't too major, and your characterization more than made up for that. Nice job.

wow. i like how you've portrayed everyone here; narcissa especially. please update!

Oh, you should continue this. It's just too, too Slytherin to let it end here. Also there are so few stories about young Snape.

What an odd way to grow up. If it were as portrayed, it wure would explain a LOT about that generation. Well played!
