Memoirs and confessions of a justified potions master

All right, I'm going to take a leaf out of [livejournal.com profile] weymms' book, and post this first draft of a prologue to my Calvinist!Snape fic. it's probably too short to make any judgements on it, but all the same, any comments you might have would be appreciated.

Disclaimers: firstly, no offence intended to Catholics, or any other group of (mostly) reasonable people who Snape will doubtless damn at some point during the course of this. Equally, Snape has rather missed the point of Calvin's teachings (and of the Gospel, come to that), and I do know that not all Calvinists are like that. Those who know their Scottish literature will recognise a debt to James Hogg and his brilliant spiritual (or is it psychological?) horror story, Memoirs and Confessions of A Justified Sinner. I kiss the hem of his plaid.

Obviously, I am not JK Rowling and would not dream of asserting ownership over Snape, any of her characters who wil appear later (though, it has to be admitted, through a rather darkened glass).
