Wonderful chapter. Amazing chapter. I love persistent Snape chipping away at Harry and wonder when he'll get a clue that he needs to do more than talk. He needs to demonstrate in some real, tangible way that he's different and that he's a source of strength and other good things for Harry. Talk is cheap, after all.

Oh, and ah, Dumbledore, so nice to know that Harry's going to get to die as a teenager and still be the hero of the war. Why, that's better than a pony for Christmas. Nice that Dumbledore can be all noble and teary eyed over Harry's fate. Great gig if you can get it.

And Draco, fed up, demanding Draco is on the case! Yay!
