Reviews For For The Boy Who Has Everything
unfortuantely this wasn't one of your better chapters: 8 please update soon! Author's Response: Unless you explain what made this chapter "not one of my better," an "8" has no meaning at all by itself. I'm open to constructive criticism and suggestions for improvements, so it would be helpful if reviewers would state what was the weak (or strong) point in a particular chapter. I'm glad you're enjoying the story. :-)
I absolutely detest Lupin -- he seems so weak! I also detest Snape because he is just so Snapeish and feel horribly sorry for Harry who is left with absolutely nothing and no one. This is a Severitus, so I'm guessing that Snape already knows that he is Harry's father and that's why he has guardianship. He doesn't seem to have any understanding of Harry's previous life or really, any understanding of Harry either. I'm hoping, though, that there is some caring there for Harry that has made him and Lupin concoct this whole plan rather than let Harry be made a ward of Fudge or the ministry. Author's Response: Snape's never liked Harry, and he hasn't been given any reason for his feelings to change. When you don't like someone, you aren't very motivated to understand them. He's got blinders on, for sure, but he might turn out to have good reason for it.
Good chapter, thanks for updating! Author's Response: Ah, but think about what a friendship with Ginny would mean. The rest of the Weasley gang are already not very kind to Hadrian. Does he need more on his plate? :0)
Author's Response: Thank you. It's definitely better in my head, and I don't have the skill to get it all in writing. I'm glad enough of it comes out right. :-)
Author's Response: Ack... I think I remember that song. LOL
*points finger at you* That story is so damn well written it won't leave me alone for hours after I read that chapter the first time! I'm really starting to fear for Harry's live and sanity. He is either going to crumbel and jump off a tower or even worse turn to selfdestructive meassures in his misery; or he's going to shut down and turn into a bitter young man... or he might put "Harry" into a corner/box and actually become Hadrian... *huffs* I really wonder if Prof. Snape ever had any lessons or seminars about how to teach and work with children! *shushes the teacher in her into silence* Anyway the only thing I know for sure is that this story will haunt me for days to come ;) I'm looking forward to the next chapter(s)! Greetings SH P.S.: ... there will be a happy end, right? Author's Response: Yes, there will be a happy ending. There's just no glimpse of an ending in sight yet. I've already reassured a number of readers that I don't do self-harm/suicide, or that kind of thing, and I'm a sucker for things working out in the end, although I equally enjoy the messiness and complexity of life and relationships. Having Harry take on the persona of Hadrian would be kind of tragic and dark, wouldn't it? I don't think I could pull it off convincingly. He definitely has an identity crisis coming his way, just not through insanity. :-) Apparently in canon Snape's been teaching since he was barely out of school himself. Does Hogwarts require any kind of child development courses? Didn't think so. LOL |
