Oh, any time I see Severus in such a role, I feel sad for him. It´s very hard to think about someone who is so broken and full of fears. And hard on himself at the same time. Then I´m grateful for Harry - because he can see what only he is able to see. It´s very good to know that someone like that exists for our beloved Potion Master;-) Thank you very much for this tale and have a nice weekend!
