Reviews For Just a father
Its amazing just how different canon-Harry's school years would have been if he'd truly trusted & had relied upon Severus as a mentor or parental figure.....as the events of the books might have turned out differently, I wonder!
Author's Response: JAWorley, I'm so glad to see reviews! Lol :P. Will update very soon. -Mel :)
Author's Response: Ivy-green, Everyone seems to love that line, I'm pleased! Thanks though. You may use it in your stories, although as you said...credit and all. Oooh yup, the plot thickens. Thank-you. -Mel :)
Love Snape saying he doesn't remember being sorted into Gryffindor! Ha! My guess is that the boy in the picture laughing at James swooping in and out of frame is Sirius. OOH! Are you going to eventually meet the Marauders!? That's be interesting if Harry already recognized them because of these pictures! I don't know why, but my favorite picture you described was the one of Lily climbing the tree in the park (is this Lily and Severus's park?) Oh boy, did Dumbledore give Snape some hard candies? Bet he did, little meddler! And I liked Harry's puzzled-but-I'll-ignore-it-for-now thought about Draco and his parents sending something for Snape. I am curious as to how (and why for that matter) Snape had pictures of the Marauders...That'd be weird. But, for the purpose of the story, it's nice. I bet he went to Hagrid or someone...maybe McGonagall? Who did he track down the other pictures from? Gah! Christmas at the Weasley home sounds busy and excessively jovial! But it was cute that Harry came back early. And, aw, Snape admitted to liking having Harry around. Aww! "Permission to hug?" *blubbers* That's adorable for the both of them! Snape seems particularly fussy with his clothes being clean...Have anything to do with the infamous lake scene in fifth year, or is it just by hanging around Lucius Malfoy too much? It's a funny little quirk you gave him here. Yes, Snape, dinner is a good place to start indeed. *moves on to the next chapter* Sorry that I am a bit behind. Will try to do better. Author's Response: Raven Knight *Gives hug*. Haha! true, Snape being all "go get dressed" would be something a dad would do! I liked the "sorted into Gryffindor" comment as well :P. Yes that boy in the picture was Sirius. Yes, in Harry's third year the marauders (or at the very least of Lupin and Sirius) are going to be in the fic, true...Harry will recognise them. And also, yes that is the same park mentioned in TDH. Snape has many methods of getting what he wants, so those pictures of the Marauders and James had come from various sources, McGongall being one of them but hagrid had already given Harry all his pictures, remember? I will not be revealing the true location of the other photos just yet though ;). Haha, I notice that the "permission to hug" is very popular! I believe that that Snape being fussy with being clean actually came before that moment in fifth year, more from the fact that he had lack of it for most of his life. More on that later though, for Harry will be bound to notice it at some point, perhaps. Lol, the Lucius comment was funny though...but also likely. I do not mind you being too behind, afterall I still get my wonderful reviews that make me happy, motivated and grin like one who has discovered how to make Voldemort ticklish. Thanks once again for making my day! -Mel :)
Author's Response: Dramagirl007, Glad you think so. Yeah, it is a good Christmas so far. I will and thanks. Yeah I'll update asap as I have been...usually every few days. -Mel :)
Author's Response: Min, Thanks, pleased to hear it. -Mel :)
Oh, I love the bonding too, and that Snape actually got him such personal gifts, and especially that he gave him photos of James!!! That was so sweet that Harry called him Dad!! Great chappie. I really enjoy this story! Author's Response: Pandora, Yay, thanks! Oh yes, Snape has showed how much he cares to even consider pictures of James, :P glad you liked it. Indeed, Harry did! Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! -Mel :)
Sev ruined the fun though. I wanted Harry to run in there and jump on the bed. lol. Though it's probably too early for that. I had to laugh at one of the typos near the end. You accidentally said "She flickered her wand.." in reference to Severus. Oops. lol. Author's Response: Ellaelieniel, Yes, Christmas chapters are an delightful read, aren't they? I'm glad you liked the gifts Sev got for Harry. Haha, I really wanted Harry to jump on his bed and wake him as well but I had his wellbeing to consider and yes...it is a tad early for that yet. maybe next year? ;). Oh, did I? Lol, "she" shall have to be edited. Thank-you for pointing that out though! -Mel :)
Author's Response: Jessirrose95, Glad you thought so, thanks. -Mel :)
I also really loved Harry's meekness when asking for a hug and how it's still really awkward for both of them. You did a very nice job conveying that. I look forward to reading more! -P.G. Author's Response: P.G, Snape is still rather clueless to the fact that Harry wasn't depressed to have his company so he believed that sending him to the Weasleys would cheer him up and make him happy, although he did have to deal with how he himself felt afterwards. They have indeed come a long way already though. They are starting to think of the other as a father/son but you're right...no relationship (especially one as new as this) can go without it's disagreements and issues, which shall be more clear very soon. It will happen during the holiday though. Thank-you for your lovely comments, again :P Thrilled to hear it! -Mel :) |
