I am amazed and enthralled with the Harry Potter universe, with the emphasis on Snape. HG/SS is my favorite ship (you have been warned). I like sci-fi ? Star Wars, Quantum Leap, Star Trek, and Ray Bradbury to name a few. Horror also catches my interest as in Stephen King. I am a married, mother of two teenagers, multiple pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, turtle), and I work way too many hours. The rest is window dressing and subject to change without notice. I am also on staff on a wonderful new site called Playwitch. Visit when you get a minute: WWW.Playwitch.net

WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!MORE, DAMMIT!!~Lotm
Pretty good imagery... for the conflicts that are now facing Severus.
It is so good to see this story again. The dossier format has a little bit of ironic humor to it, and it's always thought-provoking to visit and revisit the various arguments for and against Snape's ability to be redeemed. Can't wait to see what will be decided by the powers that be.
This is fantastic. I love the format; it's very original.
ooooo...excellent...but I did have a question during this read that didn't hit me before...Is there a particular reason that his case file ends in 007? *giggle*
I will be "patiently" awaiting the final chapter. Update quickly and then get to work on some of your other WIPs. 
Response from Pearle (Author of Sin and Virtue)
Congratulations, you caught my very subtle joke at Severus spying for the Order.
Case #09011959-4-878-697-007 Severus' case number has a convoluted meaning to it: 09 is his birthday on JKR's site, 01 is the month, 1959 is the year (according to the HP Lexicon), 4- was sort of mocking the Marauders, 878 means- 78 is estimated by the Lexicon to be the year Lilly and James Potter were married; 8 is an estimate on my part of the month since Harry was born one year later (7-31-80), 697 is the month and year Snape Avada Kedavra'd Dumbledore, and 007 is to honor his roll as a spy.

I didn't look at it that closely, I just noticed the 007 and thought, hmmm...snape=bond..could work. *giggle*
I think I'll give myself a pat on the back for this.
I wonder if you go to hell, your job is to write up all this paperwork! Great concept. Can't wait for the last chapter.
This is a fun story to read, having Severus read about his strenght and weaknesses that have punctuated his life.Only question that I have right now is where will he end up?Looking forward to the next chapter... good job! Cheers!
He should wish to be with Hermione--that's where he belongs. She needs him anyhow.
Unique story structure.
hmmm. where is Severus?? You've got me.
Entertaining read, I can't wait for the next and last chapter 
Oh, so happy to see this new installment!? I love the whole set up.? I was wondering how Hermione was going to fit into this.? Eagerly awaiting the next chapter!? And thanks for your work.
You can call me Al...
Well done. Of course, your writing always is!
I love the way you've done this. Very clever. I find the listing of the sins very interesting and can't wait to see what you put together for the virtues.
Wanted to wait till all 4 chapters were posted but I couldn't...what sin is that, lol? Great story. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Hello, PearleOne of the best parts of the coming year is that you and your husband are feeling better. 2006 has been a rather sucky year in most respects. 2007 shall surely be better. This story is a very nice one for a transition into a new year. Severus, having a chance to reflect on his life. A little self-examination is never a bad thing.Will he get to chose? If he is perectly balanced, will he get the choice for once instead of having his choices made for him?I look forward to seeing where this story goes.Happy Healthy New Year to you and yours!
What a great way to make an argument for Snapes redemption (at least that is what I assume the next chapter will help doing). Poor bloke to have his sins listed like that. Happy New Year!
Oh, I do like this!? Hardly anyone can even name the seven deadly sins anymore, let alone the various virtues.? You have a hard time finding anyone who can tell you what's a cardinal virtue vs. a theological virtue.? Or maybe I run with the wrong crowd *wink*.? Anyway, I am enjoying this very much.? Thanks for all your stories!
This is fascinating! I look forward to the next chapter.
oh wow! Hurry up with the next bits pls! This is awesome!Missy
BOOM ya got me. So, ah, whats next?
Great first chapter, but way too short!
mas, por favor...mas! MAS!!
I'm ready for the next chapter, of both this and DANCES!! MORE, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
Pearle you did it again!! Thank you but try not to keep me hanging to long.
