They say honesty is the best policy. He told me how it was in just a few words. I don’t know what was going through his mind. Severus Snape was just 20 years old. He had the courage and good nature to take on his sister’s child when she died. To me, that was the most courageous thing that anyone could ever have done and I am proud to be a Snape, I am proud to be his niece.

He could have turned away and decided not to raise me, but, knowing him more, I don’t thing he could have done that. He put himself at risk for everyone. He knew that it was a Death Eater that killed his sister and I think he knew that Lucius Malfoy killed her long before I found out who the green light man was. I love you both. I love my mother and my uncle. I miss you both every day and I wish you were here with me.
