Awesome chapter! I loved how they were working through Harry's issues. Realy effective, too, I'd imagine.
Author's Response: Thanks!
Snape's matter-of-fact response to Harry's tantrum was well done. And Harry's acceptance of the fact that Snape is letting him vent -- that worked well, too. Also excellent was Snape inexorably leading Harry to voice the things that have been done to him, like he's making him take ownership of it -- as in "this really happened to me" instead of just pushing it away. I thought this was one of your best chapters because much of what is going on is fairly subtle.
Author's Response: Thank you! I figure Snape can be kind of a subtle guy . . . but he also understands the need for some controlled violence in response to things that feel out of control.
I love the fact that Snape is allowing Harry to throw these tantrums in order to release his pent-up anger... Stopping him would only make things worse, I imagine. Hopefully he eventually chills out, although for some reason, I like it when Harry loses it...like in OotP after Sirius's death. Makes no sense, I know...lol. He's always been a character I (and millions of others) can relate to extremely well, and I think you've carried that into this story.
Excellent chapter! One of my favorites, actually.
Author's Response: Thank you! With everything that happens to Harry (and I mean, in the books, not even in my dire fictional accounts) I'm rather surprised he doesn't have more tantrums where he breaks all kinds of stuff. I mean, OotP, he was angry pretty much all the time, and talked back a lot, which was one way of dealing with it, but he has such a wonderful capacity for out and out destruction! ;-)

Awesome chapter!!!! Hope you can update soon!!! What's a Kudo???
Author's Response: Thanks! A Kudos are . . . accolades . . . or chocolate covered granola bars. You choose. ;-)
I love these constant updates! Do you really love writing or something? I loved the ending with Snape basically telling Harry to break the cup to make himself feel better.
Author's Response: Uh-huh, I thought it'd be good for him . . . therapeutically. Breaking things is good for what ails you. :-) And yeah, I do love writing! Thanks for the review!
