I like the start you have here. I can imagine Hermione wanting to make things up to Snape. Does Minerva feel the same way? I can understand Harry's anger, but I hope that deep down he doesn't really feel that way otherwise he's no better than Sirius and his father was.

I'm really enjoying this story. Great angst level
spread around the characters and great potential to develop.
I like your descriptive writing too!

We knew this in OotP but nobody told Hermione. Yes, it would have rightly shocked her.
Whenever I re-read PoA I get so angry with Dumbledore and Lupin. Lupin even has the nerve to tell Snape in the Shrieking Shack that he's being childish to be still upset about a "schoolboy prank". A prank! No, it was attempted murderer with Lupin as the unwilling accomplice/tool. How stupid or insensitive must he be not to see it from Snape's viewpoint? Besides which he was actually an accomplice before the fact to any crimes Sirius might have been committing (and let's face it he thought Sirius was a mass-murderer coming to kill Harry) because he concealed knowledge (animagus abilities, Marauders Map experience=knowledge of secret passages) that could have led to Black's capture.
Why didn't Lupin hand in the Marauders Map to Dumbledore? Was he planning to be the only one to know when Black got in so he could divert him? Why didn't he inform all the teachers (or at least Snape who obviously plays a major role in the school security systems) about secret passages eg the one-eyed witch that Harry used to sneak out to Honwydukes? And why at the end does Dumbledore still trust his word more than Snape's?
