Reviews For The Seven Year Snitch
Also, I haven't thought to comment on the school work Harry has had to do. He is seven years old. He would only be able to read the simplest of books, and his writing skills would be rudimentary, even with a pencil. I doubt he could have read the founders names, even sounding them out. Harry has already said that he did not do well at school, though I am sure this is just because teachers would have been prejudiced against someone they perceive as being undeserving of their time and attention. He would be in the equivalent of grade 2 in this country, and possibly even grade 1. One more chapter to go... I do hope there is some kind of breakthrough with Snape's thinking. Lesley~ Author's Response: I'm sorry if I made Snape come across that way; at this point, he isn't coming down hard on Harry just because he can. He really thinks the "brat" is trying to run his household just like James would have, and he believes what he heard from Aunt Marge (as most adults will believe other adults over children, particularly when they already have a prejudice against the child). Harry's schoolwork isn't as bad as it looks, though it's more than any trained teacher would give a young kid. Snape had him read the first part of HaH to learn about the founders, but the rest of his assignments are just basic stuff about plants and whatnot. The kind of books Molly Weasley might have used for her brood. Thanks for another detailed review!
And what he will do/what he will think (himself and Harry) when the truth reveals itself? Would he be sorry, guilty? Would he feel regret? Would he see an error in his ways? Would he be angry at the Dursleys as well as himself? And though I realize that Snape won't go all soft and mushy and start hugging and telling Harry he loves him. Im eager to see how Snape grows to care about harry (eventually) Snape might be strict, harsh and a disciplinarian. But i'd like to think that if Harry got hurt, he'd genuinely worry. Would Snape be there for Harry when the boy needs him? Would he offer comfort after a spanking? So many questions. So much ahead till they're resolved. AHH! I want to see more of Snape, and Harry and Noddy Author's Response: I don't plan on making Snape wallow in guilt for too long. He'll feel bad, of course, but he'll be ready to move on quickly. He'll definitely be angry at the Dursleys, but . . . that's hardly helpful at this point. :o) So many questions, yes. And unfortunately, they can't be answered without completely ruining the suspense! Thanks for reviewing!
Author's Response: Thanks for your review! The house-elf is one of those characters it's so easy to hate. Like a sneak peek of Umbridge. Snape won't be getting wise for a while . . . it's hard to say which chapter, since I haven't firmly decided on an overall length.
Author's Response: Harry will get through this eventually, though even Snape (my Snape) at his best isn't that much better than the Dursleys. Thanks for reviewing!
Author's Response: It's definitely been a while between updates, but RL has had me by the . . . you know. Thanks for your compliments and review!
PLEASSSEEE update soon, its very interesting! Author's Response: I know, I just want to hold Harry right now . . . and I don't see the end in sight, either. :o( Thanks for the review!
Author's Response: Glad you liked it, and thanks for reviewing!
Author's Response: I'll bet Harry would go back there if he could . . . but then again, Mrs. Figg wasn't too nice to him in canon. Not mean, just kind of cold. Something about how she knew the Dursleys wouldn't let him visit if they thought he liked it there . . . but it'd have to be better than Snape, at least the Snape of the moment. Thanks for reviewing!
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! Well, that'll come later, but I warn you: Snape isn't going to ever be particularly loving or demonstrative. He'll be sorry, of course, but in the "That's life, and life's not fair" kind of manner. In the meantime . . . hold tight. :o)
Thank you for updating Author's Response: I never used to write sad, and now all I can make people do is cry. Hmmm . . . this could come in handy. As much as I'd like to save Harry, the story would have to end right after Snape found out, because I can't really write him as a father-type to save my life. Still, it'll come. Eventually. Thanks for the review! |
