I really enjoyed this. Snape/Neville is not a pairing I'd ever considered before, but I'm game for anything and the risk paid off by the bucket-load this time. The post-victory world we see in flashback makes more sense than the '...and they all lived happily ever after!' of the epilogue. It's interesting to see how the trauma affected Neville, especially the memory loss and the not-noticing of his scar. I liked the idea of Snape helping him through it, loved the humour of their exchanges, especially the Python quotes.

Smashing story, all in all... I'm on garden leave at the moment, a bit bored and trawling for decent fic. Finding this made my day. Thank you.
