Reviews For No Difference
I like how you haven't made Harry's and Severus's relationship shift swiftly, but Harry's obstinacy in playing devil's advocate with Severus was irritating (even though quite in character). Harry was pretty sure he wasn't going to accept the invitation to join the Wizengamot, but he wanted to hear Severus's arguments so that he could reassure himself that he was correct in his decision. So he wound Severus up to watch him go - he's pretty good at manipulating people already... Author's Response: Snape can be such a spectacular you-know-what. I mean I love him for it, but wow, he is. Harry is actually really good at getting what he needs out of people, especially people he doesn't trust, which he hd to be to survive the Dursleys, and I think he actually could have manipulated the Wizengamot. I also think that Ginny's right, and it would have destroyed him, maybe not the way she thinks, but it would have emotionally wrecked him, especially after he effectively fought to maintain the status quo by defeating Voldemort. I loved writing Harry's manipulations, because somewhere inside, Snape is recognizing them, and is in something of a mind game contest with Harry, and they're learning to understand each other by means of being awful to each other. (sigh) I enjoy it more than I should.
But anywho, on with the review!!: OMG!! Snape's totally cruel in the last part! It is true, but he could of sofened it. *winces* Now he and Harry are gunna have another row. But I was thinking of Snape everytime Harry and his friends talked about spying. Snape is usually the first person that comes to my mind when I hear the word "spy" nowadays. And with the RIGHT motivation Snape COULD be very usful in spying on the government. He IS Slytherin after all. It could work. Excellent chapter, I'm off to the next! Author's Response: Snape just can't make himself be nice, but yeah, that was particularly cruel of him. Mind, it also shows exactly how guilty he feels that he takes that much of the blame. Oh, my boys. You cannot MAKE Snape have to go through that again, no, you can't, no, no no!
So...is Sev ever going to get past all his emotional knots and grow up, or not? Author's Response: No he isn't; that's his charm as a character. Harry will tear a few emotional knots to pieces though. Snape is ignoring all of the problems associated with paradox, true, but he’s also revealing his personal feelings of guilt in the process. He’s such a complexly messed up piece of work, isn’t he?
Author's Response: And I show once again that I don't write nice Snape. He's nasty fellow, isn't he? He likes to hit where it hurts, and he's extemely good at honing in on sore spots. Harry is, erm... on edge? He needs to vent, but he never really learned how to do that without fighting with someone else, which he doesn't want to do. I'm sure you can imagine that Snape's comments will put Harry even more on edge for a while. Link away, link away! I'm quite flattered, actually. |
