There are a lot of specific, detail-oriented things that are really brilliant here, but I think my favorite part of this fic is simply your style/voice. I read a lot of Snape fic but it's mostly HG/SS and they all have a definite 'feminine' feel to the writing. Your writing 'voice' is so masculine (and powerful/in control) it really suits the subjects. It's refreshing - And I feel like I've *learned* something about Snape, not *explored* his character.
For the rest of it, I'll just say 'ditto' to eldritchhobbit's comments.
Snape closed his eyes and sought deeply within himself for a memory of joy. He settled instead for a feeling of pride...
