Reviews For A Shocking Discovery
snape has every right to be mad! Author's Response: Yep. Snape did have every right to be mad. And no one can be mad quite like Sev can.

Author's Response: I am so glad you enjoy my DD. I am like you. I cannot read stories that openly bash DD. I loathe them. This is exactly how I see him. Yes, he can be manipulative, but ultimately, in canon, he did everything that he could to try to ensure that Harry defeated Voldemort and lived to tell the tale. Harry would have ended up meeting Volde in battle regardless of DD, and without his having led Harry where he did, HArry would have died. I believe that DD cared very much for Harry. it was said often enough in canon. It amazes me how people can twist things to fit there own views. Some people look up to Voldemort as a good guy and DD as the villain. amazing! Lesley~
Oooh harsh Snape. One way that your story is great is that I felt that Snape stayed in character consistantly. (Even the birthday bit where I think you warned about being OOC didn't really come across that way to me cos it was Harry that initiated the hug) A lot of Snape/Harry stories change Snape v quickly into an understanding caring father figure (which can still be good) but I quite like the fact that in yours Snape doesn't get too soft. I think I read that JKR said Snape was a anti-hero and a real mixture of bravery and bullying nasty characteristics... not to say I think your version of Snape is that bad - he certainly tries hard to get on with Harry and Harry's friends as the story goes on. Author's Response: One thing I was really determined to do was keep Snape as much in character as it is possible to do while making him find out he is a father of a boy he has been more than antagonistic towards since he first clapped eyes on him. I am not sure that canon Snape could ever have felt anything other than intense dislike for Harry, despite the fact that he is as much Lily's son as he is JAmes'. But the main reason I wrote this story is that I feel this need to redeem the very unpleasant canon character. But saying that, Snape would never turn into a lovable human being. Harry is learning to love him because he is getting to know him. But Sev is no fluffy bunny and never will be. Lesley~
Author's Response: I think that finding out he was Snape's cousin would be a big enough shock to try to come to terms with. The 'I am your father (or one of them) might have been too much, even for a healthy sixteen year old heart. LOL. Lesley~
Author's Response: Ultimately it isn't that bad, but the changes in both Harry and Sev's lives is a massive thing to get used to, especially when they have been such bitter enemies for so long. Lesley~
Author's Response: Severus did have a doozy of a hangover, but he had had a massive shock. He does not usually drink to excess. And as for Harry and the mead...he did not realise he was getting drunk until it was too late. He just knew the drink was delicious and also that Sev had denied him a second drink in DD's rooms and he was feeling rebellious. He was just being a typical teenager and doind what he was told not to do. He still feels the need to show his new father that he is still the same person he has always been, no matter the new-found information regarding his paternity. Lesley~
This story had me hooked from the beginning. I liked that Harry can do silent/wandless magic and I think that it will be interesting to see how he uses this in the rest of the story. Author's Response: Thank you so much for all of your lovely reviews. I had a look at your profile and saw that the only reviews you have written are for my stories, so I am honoured that you have signed up at P&S so you could review. It makes me feel quite humble.
The silent/wandless magic performed by Harry is really accidental, brought on by extreme stress and anger, but it does prove that he is quite a powerful young wizard. Lesley~ |
