Yes!!!! Thank you for this ending! I could see how Severus would be different with his memories, more controlling, yet underneath, the same basic person. In some ways, that punishment was instead, a reward... Snape was always intelligent, but that experience gave him enough distance to overcome his prejudice against Harry - allowed him to see the irrationality of it, to see the adult, mature counter arguments. Thanks for a great evening's entertainment! I am quite sure I will want to read this over again.
