That you are rationing your internet access makes a lot of sense in your circumstances, and I hope Oxford will be wonderful in every way. )
And I absolutely don't see Severus as Sirius's equal and opposite; I see him as Harry's twin/dark father. To me, a reconciliation between the boy and the man are absolutely essential if the story is to be satisfying, and, of course, it will be easier for them to reconcile if they both survive! All the same, my hopes are not too high for either of them - I just hope I am reading Rowling correctly. (I've taken her seriously when she says she is writing a Christian story. In my mind, a Christian story must have scenes of forgiveness, redemption, and reconciliation. But that is the mainstream Catholic/Episcopal/Anglican view, I think, and it may not be Rowling's.)
Keeping my fingers crossed for Snape and Harry - and, of course, for you in your new enterprise-
