You are correct in your assumption that Severus wouldn't have shown his collection to Harry, or bothered to explain the reasons behind its existence, if he didn't consider Harry a good friend or possibly more. This moment of sincerity between them must mean they are growing closer to each other, if they aren't already, and that bodes well for their future together.

Thanks so much for taking the time to both read and review. Your beautiful comment meant the world to me. :D
