So well done. I've been waiting to see the results of a Harry/Snape essay and this does not disappoint. As a long time Harry/Snape devotee, I agree with your comment about the chemistry...they simply have to realize it for what it is or has the potential to be. I'm also always intrigued by Snape's ongoing entaglement with powerful wizards and expect his relationship with Harry to be just as powerful & complicated as those with Dumbledore and Voldemort. Also a great selection of fic recs for the newly initiated to check out as well as a handful that I haven't read. Thanks for putting so much thought into this!
