You might be happy to know that Snape's role in this fic is very, very important, and that the prequel I mentioned will be Snape-centred. And Sirius-centred. Well, Snape/Black-centred *g*

*sits back and waits patiently for prequel and sequel*

I've got the entire veil and archway and afterlife concept all worked out, as well as the death eating.

Yes, it shows that you have given it some thought, and I liked the link from Death Eaters to bringing back the dead. Obscure dark rituals are fun *nods*
