Wow! This is the first HP fic I've read in a long, long, long time, and I have to say--it's fantastic. Makes me want to try the fandom again, because even characters like Petunia have the ability of such wonderful depths. I think sometime after the last book, I began to see the potential she had as a character, and this fic illustrates that. Absolutely wonderful. I love the outline of her life, ending with Snape on his bench at King's Cross--they had so much in common, in a way, and yet they're two completely different people. I feel a bit sad that he's locked in memories while she's moving forward. It's a beautiful look at people in general.

Great stuff!
