*g* I thought you might ;). Mind you, I don't think that even his teachers would have been inclined to take very kindly to Severus, despite the fact that he was probably very studious and eager to learn. He's so unprepossessing, and I do think he wouldn't have missed a chance to strike at the Marauders (which I find perfectly understandable, to be sure). I think Slughorn's behaviour is a case in point: though Severus was a brilliant student, the Potions master still preferred Lily by far because she was cute and spirited.
In the comic, the previous confrontation of McGonagall with Snape was when 1) she caught him setting James's bum on fire and 2) suspected Severus of lying to her. Here she doesn't have all the facts, and she's not going to go soft on him. Besides, I suspect that James and Sirius are among her favourite students...
Heh. I like open endings too. I'm praying that JKR will give us one...
Thank you very much for reviewing the story so faithfully! :D ♥
