Well, I love oliversnape. Great author, great stories. Very forthcoming, too. I've had personal contact with oliversnape and it was rather inspiring. This novel-length story is very detailed and shows some typical signs of his craft: Snape meddling with "modern muggle devices", playing nintendo, etc. In a way, this seems OoC, but to me, this gives it a realistic vibe. This is not OoC, this is just oliversnape's Snape. And that's fine.
Besides, nobody else would get me to read a story in which Harry is renamed into "John". This spins from year 3 to the end of year 4.
