Reviews For Life as Dictated by a Talking Hat
BTW the word 'asshole' identifies Harry as an American child not a British one. Brits might perhaps say 'arsehole' or more likely 'you arse' but never 'ass' unless they are talking about a donkey. It is not just a difference in spelling, arse is not pronouned 'ass' it is pronounced 'arrhse'.

Good chapter - I like it. ^^
I find abused!Harry stories very disturbing, actually. (Well, inflicting pain on a child SHOULD be disturbing.) But the humorous overtone mitigates, somewhat, that distressing quality (even though it's more of a biting sarcasm than humour). Nevertheless. Great, great story! Whatever I said above, I'm looking forward to the "comfort thing", hehe :) Who wouldn't want to see Harry set free of his angst? By Snape, no less. Author's Response: LOL yeah. Harry's only 11 years old, for goodness' sake! Anyway, thanks for reviewing, glad you like it. :-)
Snape is really putting in a lot of effort to keep his temper. I think he makes a mistake, though. He DID threaten Harry that he would hit him for greater infractions, and he knows that Harry is scared of it. So I think either he should admit to Harry that it had been an empty threat (if that's what it was, I'm not sure) or he should specify what Harry has to expect. With the way Harry keeps provoking him it even seems as if Harry tries to do just that - find out what would be the worst he can expect from Snape. Poor Harry keeps trembling whenever Snape gets near (and behind) him - possibly it even would have been better for him if Snape had gone ahead and punished him physically once (mildly of course), as mad as this may sound - this uncertainty is just horrible! Author's Response: Yeah I totally agree. Snape should deal with the issue more directly - he's going for proving that he only punishes when Harry deserves it, but Harry needs to know what to expect. He gets more info every time he's in trouble, so he keeps acting out. (Well, that's part of the reason, anyway). Don't worry - he'll get it figured out. Maybe not right away, but he will.
Author's Response: Thanks!! I'm glad you liked it!! Yeah Harry's more stubborn than smart, but he's got to figure things out for himself, I think. :-)
Author's Response: Thanks! It'll be a few more days before the update, but I'm home now so things should regularly be updated within 10 days.
Great chapter! thanks so much for the update! Great writing. :) Author's Response: Thanks!! Yeah Harry's a stubborn little bugger... |
