This was such a delightfully incisive look at Snape's childhood. I also like the way you've portrayed the hat! Its thought process was very intriguing. So, I'm also kinda heartbroken for that little boy, but really impressed at the way you've told this story.

I'm glad this was rec'd today. I love gen fics that explore a character's personality - this one gives such insight.

Beautiful - I love the way you have written him at 11, and the backstory you have given him.

This is really clever and well-done.
