Reviews For For The Boy Who Has Everything
Author's Response: Thank you! No, Harry would never reject his friends, and it remains to be seen if he can ever get over his history with Draco or any of the other Slytherins (one of Harry's "flaws" is that he doesn't tend to change his established impressions of people, even when given reasons why he should). I think some stories really do Harry a disservice by painting him as someone who could just reject everything and everyone he's known. The friendships he's made in Gryffindor are not something any sane person should want to trash.
Author's Response: Harry is about to turn 16 in a couple of days. I don't have my timeline in front of me, but I think Chapter 17 ends on the morning of July 28. Thanks for reading and reviewing! There should be another chapter soon, although I'm going to update Three Times Trouble first.
Author's Response: He's been depressed since Sirius' death, but he doesn't have anyone him who spends enough time with him to realize that he hides his emotions around people he doesn't trust. Lupin is worried about the panic attacks, but as Snape pointed out, Harry's only had two so far.
Enjoying the story as I always have but oh, the wishing and hoping... Author's Response: Well, it is from Harry's point of view, so what he assumes are other people's feelings and motivations, might not actually be true. Harry assumes Lupin doesn't want to be close to him because Lupin blames him for Sirius' death, but just because Harry is satisfied with that explanation, doesn't mean that's all there is to it. Harry is about to have his birthday, which is a major plot point in the Severitus challenge. Although that doesn't necessarily mean that Harry's life will get easier, it does mean that the story will start going in a new direction. I think some of Harry's tolerance is just stubborness and self-blame, not true tolerance. Depending on what's happening, he either believes he deserves it or doesn't want to show that it bothers him. People around him find it easier to convince themselves that's he's doing fine when he isn't.
Great job by the way. I left you a very long review at FFnet, because I didn't know that you'd updated here too. Author's Response: Thanks! I haven't checked reviews at FF.net yet, but I'm about to. :-) |
