LOL. True, those goblins were probably a right horror if Albus was so fond of them and Severus did everyone a favor with his plotting... :)
I think Severus cares about Harry in his own way, he's used to looking after him and making sure he's safe, so it's probably instinctive for him to try and protect him from anyone wanting to take advantage of his caring nature. There must be some affection there, even though it is probably being suffocated to death under layers of unromantic ideas like "duty", "Gryffindor ex-student" and "platonic"... Hopefully things will shift for the better once he finally realizes what's really going on.
I'm thrilled that you are enjoying this story so much. Thanks for taking the time to both read and review. Your wonderfully detailed comment meant the world to me. :)
