Thank you tons for the great review., Jan. In my opinion Dumbledore and McGonagall are as close to parental figures as Snape has. They both care for the younger man very much. Of course Mr. Stubborn would never admit the affection might be returned.

Glad the dialouge worked for you. I find myself using a lot of dialouge when I write, more than I used to. But it sounds right in my head, so it gets put down in the story. :)

And I agree, it's not fair that my poor little Dragon wound up in trouble and Harry was let off. But then again, as Tracy had pointed out in her review, Draco had the concern and love of Snape while Harry had no one really. No one cared enough to hold him accountable, they only wanted to use his talent. So perhaps it all evens out.

Thanks again for all your comments. They made my day. :)
