Yay and double yay!! I'm giggling while reading so much my cheeks hurt, so you did achieve something :) And you really got Snape, he wouldn't be the potion master he is if he is not capable of dropping all assumption and starting over on a moment's notice. Only in potions, though :( Stuck in a different reality and still stuck in decades-old events is still so much like him too. I'm glad you made him survive the books. Thank you for taking the prompt!

[jedibuttercup]

Yay; I'm glad you enjoyed it! Snape's such an interesting character to write.

[kerravonsen]

Fascinating. Poor Snape. But yay that he's getting help; that's a better situation than he's been in for a while.

[jedibuttercup]

He probably wouldn't trust any situation that appeared easy, anyway, after everything. :) Glad you enjoyed the fic!

[draconin]

Neat idea. Very interesting contrast between the approach in HP and Dresden's.

[jedibuttercup]

I did a little comparison reading after I got the prompt; and I figured it would break Snape's brain a little. But it would be an interesting challenge for him and Harry both, that's for sure. :)

[ffutures]

Once Snape gets the idea he ought to make some interesting stuff.

[jedibuttercup]

Yup. Harry would probably get some interesting ideas from Snape's approach, too. :)

[jedibuttercup]

You're welcome. :) Snape wouldn't believe it if it was easy, anyway; this way he might have to work for it but he'll achieve a better outcome than possible back home, and yep, Harry would get some decent backup, too.
