Very interesting that you show Harry mastering the lesson by having Snape play on his sexuality- very funny and yet quite apt to Harry, who learns by doing.
You could call it a 'natural' aptitude.
On the Snape POV- so, he thinks the *only* reason Harry would be with him is because Snape is similiarly inclined, and not because Harry may feel anything for him.
Uhm-hm. Surely Harry would be more interested in someone younger if he were available....
And of course, it seems that Snape feels for Harry, in his own way, and does not want to admit it- to Harry nor to himself. (Very Guy-ish, BTW)
He doesn't even see it!
Hoo-rah! I set out to write men, acting like men, and have succeeded!
Harry being sweetly obtuse, does not get it.
Nope. Too caught up in the middle of dealing with it.
The ending left me on tenterhooks- so, does Snape think that Harry was telling him not to see him anymore? Or angry that Harry would do the lessons, since he does have the ability?
Snape's pissed because he's certain telling Dumbledore about the accident will sink his hopes of starting a Dark Arts class. That's why he hid the accident in the first place. He feels that rejecting his class is tantamount to rejecting him. If Harry doesn't give a damn about what he's doing to his future, then he doesn't give a damn about Snape.
