Reviews For The Seven Year Snitch
I do wonder though how Severus can assume Harry is spoiled when he wasn't taken on holidays with his guardians. Onto chapter 2. Lesley~ Author's Response: Picking apart Snape's idiocy by point is like pulling a leg off a centipede. It gets you nowhere and feels icky. :o) Glad you're liking the story, and thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Author's Response: I feel bad for my Harry, too, because he didn't ask for any of this to happen. I know Snape didn't, either, but then again, he's the reason Harry doesn't have parents. Harry, like most kids, bristles at injustice, but from living with the Dursleys, he's learned to squelch it most of the time. Thanks for your comments!
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! Hey, anyone can die in a car crash. The Dursleys deserved better. :o) Snape is going to be very mean in the next chapter . . . and probably the one after that, too . . . well, for quite a while, anyway!
i've been in the harry potter fandom way too long when i've forgotten that it can actually be considered an insult to be called a witch. Author's Response: Sometimes when people annoy me, I consider using Crucio. And then it hits me. I am on my own. :o) Thanks for reviewing!
It's also a nice change to see Harry somewhat mistreated but not as horribly and blatantly mistreated as you can see in so many fanfics. Mila Author's Response: When you put it that way, Dumbledore reminds me of a few people I know! Only they're not as smart. :o) I've abused Harry enough, so this time I decided to cut him a break . . . Snape will be mean for a while, though. Thanks for reviewing!
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing; I'm amazed at how many people like this! An update is coming soon, I promise.
Author's Response: Dumbledore strikes me as one of those who's always nice as long as you do things his way. Thanks for reviewing!
Author's Response: Thanks for your compliments; with the awesome response this story has gotten, I'm sure an update will be coming soon!
I love that you explained so thoroughly Dumbledore's reasoning for choosing Severus as Harry's guardian. Every scene was perfectly paced and enjoyable to read. Snape's annoyance--his brushing off-- of Harry's hesitancy or his slight attitude makes complete sense. I can't imagine Snape having any interest in being a disciplinarian right off the bat. He expects everyone to obey him without question and that's what he's used to. He wouldn't waste his time focusing on petty issues like Harry's belongings. His "take it or leave it" attitude is very like canon!Snape. I found this line particularly brilliant: "Scrooge liked darkness because it was cheap, as are all things common; Severus Snape liked it because it was dear, hard to come by." Thank you for taking such care with this first installment of your story. I hope you write quickly, because I'm hooked already. Author's Response: Thanks for the long review! As much as I love writing the abused Harry - one's going up on the Pit today, in fact - so I can cuddle him, I'm the first one to admit that it's fanon, not canon. The Dursleys were neglectful and emotionally abusive, and I'm sure Vernon may have cuffed him once or twice, but that's about as far as it went. I got the bacon thing from my mother's dogs; one won't even touch her bone until the other one wants it. Anyone else would have wondered why Harry only had one bag of things, but you're right when you say that Snape probably couldn't care less. Dumbledore often comes across as insensitive because he wouldn't let Harry stay with someone nice like the Weasleys, but I guess being comfortable doesn't help if he's dead. I hope people aren't alienated by my Snape, because he's going to be mean for a while. And he'll never be fluffy, but they'll eventually get past this stage. Thanks for your comments! |
