I regret to say that I read 'moment if impact' and came straight here after without even reviewing. So I'll do it now.

Moment of impact... I started reading it a couple of times and always stopped. Why? Because I'm a Snape- fan and was not particularly fond of the 10 or so chapters about Harry and his friends. This time, I just skipped those chapters and got straight to the good stuff. Even then, it took me a while to really get into it. I think it was around chapter 20 or so that I decided that I really like the story.

Let me get one thing straight. You are an amazing writer and have a way with words. You capture Harry's wittiness and Snape's snark so effortlessly. It is a joy to read. I enjoyed the occlumency (though it remained somewhat more superficial than I would have liked) and the odd quirks and likes your Snape had. Like the Beatles. I felt that the final chapter of moment of impact was somewhat rushed and I was sad to see you gloss over those important moments so easily. But then, I saw this sequel.

The premise of writing this entire story by means of letters exchanged between the two of them is pure genius. I loved it so much and had a hard time putting the fic down. You captured both of their feelings so well and goodness, you made me laugh so much! Humour is a sign of intellect and your fic gave me the impression that you are exceedingly clever yourself. The hula-hoops made me laugh. So did Harry's witty banter with Snape about 'the talk', relations with Trelawney and so forth. Truth and Dare was great and so was Snape's first drunken night! So many highlights in this wonderful story. Truly.

About Snape leaving Harry with his injuries, I'm sorry to hear people flamed you for that. While I personally would have liked to see Snape finally allowing Harry to heal properly, after all, I understand why you (he) did it. I personally feel that Harry should have been more outraged when he was banned from Quidditch but hey, that's just personal flavour, I suppose.

I'm not sure if the premise of the sequel to this interests me very much but I'm going to give it a try.
Thanks for all of your hard work and giving us this beautiful work of art.

Yours,
MS

Love your musical theatre quotes

This price is so wonderfully moving; I love that you made laugh in just about every single chapter. Thank you for making this such a fun read, I didn't know sixth year could be. This will always be one of my favorite fics and I can't wait to read more in this story!

Brilliant story - really. It’s so hard to pull off a story that’s mostly letters, but you did this excellently. Well done!

excellent story

i get that writing long stories, especially fanfictions, can get really confusing. but there are many inconsistencies that i notice throughout this fic and MOI. in the summary of the last two years in MOI, harry knew he was a horcrux and him and snape spoke about it, but that didn't happen in this fic. also you say in this chapter—39, that is—that snape never had his own owl but earlier you say he had an owl named tempest. there's also been other instances where snape answers questions from harry that he's already answered before as if he'd never answered them already. i suggest rereading to make sure everything actually lines up, cuz small stuff like that are noticeable

And you did it again! So glad to discover this is a series!

"I did not have my own owl. I used our family's owl—well, my mother's owl—for necessary correspondence. The owl's name was Winston ..."

In chapter seven, Snape talks about a different owl: "You asked about Tempest—she was a barn owl and quite an extraordinary creature. She was given to me by my mother when I was 11, just before I came to Hogwarts, and she stayed with me throughout my time at Hogwarts and through my years gaining my Potions Mastery. I brought her with me when I came to Hogwarts as a Professor."

I guess that is a minor discrepancy. I had to go back and double check things, though, as I thought I might have confused your story with a different one I was poking around in yesterday (looking for something) - one in which Dumbledore took Harry to a beach house, disguised him, and passed him off as one of Aberforth's grandsons.

What was I looking for, you ask? Well ... even though I'm not a big Snape fan, I was able to put my feelings aside and enjoy many Severitus fanfics when I first began reading HP fanfic about four years ago. I seem to remember one in which Harry was removed from #4PD, and Petunia and Dudley were turned into House Elves, taken to Hogwarts for their safety, and supervised by Dobby. I think there may have been some judicious application of a frying pan in his discipline, but I'm not sure. I also don't remember where Vernon was in all of this - prison, perhaps? Anyway, the search string I used returned your story.

As I skimmed the early chapters of "Moment of Impact" on my quest, I was caught and just kept going. I must confess that your stories are as powerful today as my first trip through them - a sign of good storytelling. Unfortunately, I've suffered several bouts of tears while reading "Regards, Harry." I've had two extremely difficult years with my elderly mom, and the last two weeks have been especially "pressurized." I think I cried for half an hour after reading the chapter containing "Bring Him Home." I suppose listening to Alfie Boe's version on YouTube contributed to the situation ... not to mention the earlier break to listen to Judy Collins sing "In My Life." I guess I've needed the release, though, so maybe it wasn't a bad thing. (Sorry for the wool-gathering side trip.)

This last chapter made me cry. You wrote such a beautiful story. It's one on my long time favorite and I decided to read it again a week ago.

You have a very precious hability : the capacity to write and make us FEEL the emotion. You made me laugh and cry. Thank you.

Don't stop writing, you are gifted.

Awesome! One of my absolute favorite Harry & Snape stories. It was the best written and most well thought out characterization development. The letters really made this story! Thanks for the intermittent humor from both of them. It balanced out the angst well. Thank you for sharing you talents.

I just love ur story. I cant stop reading it and i really need to get some work done. Oh well.
I am just outeraged at people giving u bad reviews because of harrys treatment- what do those readers do when their real life child is in a fight? Dose it with morphin or cocain so that it can forget the pain? I am almost at the end and i am dreading it- dont want to stop reading!

Even though he is dying, I wonder if Albus isn't a little bit jealous of the growing relationship between Harry and Severus...

One of the best I have ever read!

I'm crying. I've read MOI and this one in barely more than a couple says, and really it's so beautiful and full of love but so sad at the same time that I am crying and sleep deprived because of you. So I don't thank you for that. But still, thank you very much for these stories. I can't wait to read the sequels but I have -sadly- to sleep and eat and go to school and everything first. Love your writing. Felicitations ! as we say it in French

This chapter hurt so badly. Jesus. Especially the line about Dumbledore's left and right.
