While I consider Snape's notion of discipline somewhat old-fashioned and ancient, the story itself is well-written and shows the various nuances of Snape's and Harry's relationship.

oliver.snape belongs to the authors which need to be mentioned when talking about Snape and Harry.
Not only did oliver.snape write lots of interesting gen interaction between those two characters, but Snarries also are part of the author's repertoire. In all writing, there is some kind of subtle craziness, which makes the reader think "oh... whatever". While it's not Canon-compliant at all, and somewhat out of character, oliver.snape presents stories that are - attention! - interesting.
