    I was utterly moterified on this piece. This was totally out of character for both snape and harry and totally ofended me as a Harry Potter fan. I dont believe snape would ever behave this way! I was disgusted on this whole piece.

    Perry,
    I am just blown away! If this were a book, you couldn't pry it out of my hands with a crowbar!

    As much as I do enjoy a reluctantly fluffy Snape, this characterization works for me. Snape is a man who has known little but bitterness, disappointment and abuse his whole life. While we may know from the last book that deep down, Snape has a noble spirit, but you sure as hell wouldn't know it to meet him! He is NOT a happy man and he is NOT a nice man. He has had a really miserable life and is more than a little angry about it. I can see him viewing Harry as being symbolic of a life time's worth of bitter disappointment, anger and grief. I can completely buy that Snape would be a right viscious bastard and would not want to be in Harry's place right now.
    Loved it hon!
    Tracy

    Snape is brilliant here. JKR herself said that Snape wasn't a good guy, he just loved Lily and that was his only redeeming quality, basically.

    Harry, on the other hand, I find very out of character. He sounds more like he's 8, not almost 12. After everything he went through, all the pain from keeping the PS from Voldemort, I don't see a horrific spanking, or even many, having him begging Snape for mercy.

    8/10--For Harry being out of character.

    Are you sure you posted this at the right archive? This archive is for stories that feature a mentoring relationship between Harry and Snape. I'm pretty sure torture is against the archive rules. I suggest an archive such as FF.net.

    Also, I find your characterization to be off--very off. Your version of Snape in particular is not very well thought-out. Have you even read the books? In them, Snape is petty and mean, but never abusive. He enjoyed seeing his students squirm with discomfort, but had their best interests at heart. Also, your version of Harry is a dim-witted, whinny wuss.

    If bad characterization wasn't enough, I find your dialogue to be cheap and cheesy. I gave your story a rating of two--only because your grammar and spelling wasn't too bad, despite a few errors.

    Author's Response:

    I'm sorry my version of the characters didn't sit well with you. I tried to make these characters as true to the books as I could where my Time and Place stories diverged from that quite a bit. After reading the 7th book, I wanted to show the man who would become headmaster and allow students to be tortured daily under his control. The same man who taunted students in his own class and sneered over Harry's painful childhood memories in Occlumency lessons. And who in the movies whacks his students on the back of the head with a hardback textbook.

    As for Harry, I will try to work on his voice as I develop this story.

    If you want a lighter story, may I recomend Tracy's "The Ideal Guardian" or Dina's "The Painful Guardianship"?

    Poor Harry talk about a rough night. He did deserve the first spanking for the lip he gave. But the hair cut and the second spanking in bed. It would serve Severus right if his hair all grew back the next morning. but love this story and all that you have written.

    Wow, this is pretty good. It is a different take than some of your other stories, but I do like it a lot! I really hope you will continue this, so we can find out what will happen to Harry and why Snape is such an evil git.
