Oh dear, the end of that chapter! Another terrific one, thank you.
" ' But to stay in the dungeons, with you?...No offense, all right, but look at you! You'll make him pee his pants, Professor'... Snape's soft laugh sounded wickedly amused..." This is one of the funniest images you've written. There used to be a cartoon where someone had drawn Snape with horns, and he approvingly catches sight of himself in a mirror, gloating, "This will terrify the first years!" If you can still find something called "The Naked Snape Awards," it's in there. (Good luck finding it; I haven't seen it in years, alas.)
Oh, touché, Monsieur Snape!
Absolutely LOVED the laugh Severus got, imagining making Dudley pee in his pants!
Dudley in Hogwarts should be rather interesting...
Going to live with Snape. The inevitable. And another one of those changing points in this epic story. I love Harry's first few days there, so I can't wait to read those again, haha. The horror he must feel... Man.
On a personal note - I think this is the chapter that gave me a paradigm shift of my own (if you could call it that), in that I realized that I was not the Gryffindor I wanted so badly to be, but that I am a Slytherin. I don't know how good of a thing I really believe it to be (considering some of the people in those house, though the story also taught me that those people don't have any bearing on that. Not really, anyway. Not where it matters.) but that's what I am. And I'm proud of it too, haha. Makes me feel kinda bad in a way, which is a fun feeling.
