In Ch. 14:
“Did you ever notice Regulus being friends with Snape?”
Lupin was seized with a coughing fit and could not answer for several minutes. “Terribly dusty up here, isn’t it?” he finally managed.
Hello, subtext! lol.
In Ch 15:
“Snape oversees most of the classes,” said Ginny one night. “He doesn’t think much of Carrow, the professor [of Dark Arts]. Snape took over for an entire week to teach us non-verbal spells; I don’t think he trusted Carrow to do it properly. Snape’s mistake,” Ginny laughed.
“Why?” Harry asked.
“Snape taught us too well. Now when we’re supposed to be using Dark curses on each other, we just say the incantation but perform a different spell nonverbally. It’s driving Carrow mad, he thinks we’re all a bunch of morons.”
There was something odd about that situation; Harry could not put his finger on it.
Ah, Harry, bless your Snape-hating heart; I sure can. ;) (Seriously, reading that is making me grin like a maniac right now.)

That's assuming that she IS making Snape good., but this snippet suggests she is, so...
I've been thinking about reading this.. Maye I'll wait till she's finished. Tough, do you know how long that will be?

:DDDD Awww, I almost have to read that now. Although the format seems sort of depressing, too. Rubbing it in that Severus/Regulus could have been but isn't canon.
