I can see how someone who relates to this version of Severus would dislike the fic and Harry in particular. Severus seems so real to me and Harry seems a fantasy. Someone as jaded by life would find it unbelievable that they could be loved as Harry loves Severus, with such unending patience and acceptance. But it's that very contrast that I find so appealing. I don't think I could believe in the actual, real life existence of Harry, even with all his obsessiveness and impetuousness he still seems too good to be true, how could a sorry creature such as myself ever hope to find (much less be worthy of) such devotion...but in the most secret corners of my heart I would hope for it. Shush, tell no one. ;)
