good chapter!
nice trick at the exchange...dumbledore is in your story as gullible as in canon...
...lily's interrogation of snape was a bit lacking for a woman who is good with charms...surely she can be creative...
poor tonks, i hope when harry can escape, he can take her with him alive...
hope for a h/hr-pairing!! =P

Thanks. Hopefully, the next chapters will explain your observations. H/Hr pairing is still under consideration.
