Author's Response: Hi Elfwyn! Great question! It never escaped my notice when writing that scene that this had happened to Harry once before. In fact, that was a small part of the inspiration for showing this part of Snape's unsympathetic character in this way. But where before Harry had been horrified by his haircut, to the point of worrying nonstop about what the other kids would say, he didn't feel that way this time. Instead, he felt a little ill-used and frustrated, but Snape quickly took his mind off of it. And I argue repeatedly that a shaved head is nowhere near as bad as what Petunia did to his hair (making it all uneven and ugly). Harry's no longer a completely emotion driven child, to have outbursts of uncontrolled magic when he's overly upset and he wasn't THAT upset about this anyway. But that was a good question. Thanks for asking about it. Hope you're enjoying the story`and`hope`this`answered`your`question`to`your`satisfaction. -Andy
"Oh, no thanks Professor. I have an allergy to Nightshade."" Loved this interaction, and Dumbledore's reaction. And you just keep coming up with fascinating plot elements. The cuneiform tablets weren't just an excuse for a fight, eh? And now Snape has to admit that Harry does have something to offer him. Off to read about the visit with the Weasleys. Author's Response: Thanks!!! In my original outline, they had an argument over something else entirely but then when I finished developing the part of the plot with the Sumerian scripts (more on that later) that all just fell into place. It was almost like the characters themselves drove that scene. Snape was working on them and Harry looked through it...it seemed natural for them. Your reviews definitely hit on the things that seemed important or fun to me while writing. Awesome, thanks!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I'm relieved that the characters are still coming out right. It's one of my major concerns. I'm usually never very happy with my dialogue, but I do have to say...that last chapter was fun to write. Enjoy!
Author's Response: Phew! Thanks for that. I really do get worried that Snape's gonna come off wrong. It's hard to develop a story like this when Snape insists on being so...Snapeish. :)
Yet!! Harry trying to explain his 'love' theory with "it's a Dark Lord thing...maybe" and insisting on it is awesome!!! *sigh* The little things :) Could tell from the title of the chapter that this snippet would be fun! Though I have to wonder what the title to your whole story means though wah :( nevermind babbling :) Thank you~ Author's Response: Your welcome! And thank you for the review. It's very encouraging. I have to say, some of the dialogue in this chapter was a lot of fun to write. As for the title...you'll have to wait a little while for that. ;)
Author's Response: Thanks for your review! It's very encouraging to hear I've been improving. There was a lot of room for it though. :) LOL I had fun writing that first part so I'm really glad it got such good reviews. Enjoy!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I had alot of fun writing the dialogue with Dumbledore. I'm relieved it came out all right. These two characters are like night and day aren't they? But I have hope that they can find a common ground. |
