This is a community for all those stories, long or short, complete or incomplete, in which Harry finds a mentor in one form or another, be it Snape, Dumbledore, Lupin, Sirius, McGonagall, a Weasley, or even an OC. Some of the stories have the mentor relationship as the main theme, but others cover wider issues such as abuse, parent/son relationships, and the little matter of defeating an evil and powerful Dark Lord.

"The problem was simple. Harry didn't want to quit. Sure, he might be endangering himself. He might be too dependent. But the biggest issue was that Harry did not regret these things. What he regretted most of all was getting caught." Cutting. Mentor!Sev.

From the Depths of Your Soul by KimberlyTheOwl reviews
A little elaboration on those anti-dementor lessons. A popular topic, really, but here is my own take on Harry's tutorials with the best DADA professor he is allowed to study with. I gave myself the challenge of trying to remain as 'in-canon' as possible. Let me know how I did with that.
