    This is brilliant. Don't know how I missed this little masterpiece before! I love how you took one little part of a scene and wove a whole new and complex story from it, even managing to keep it canon. Well done! Snape's portrait was a nice touch at the end.

    Author's Response: Thank you very much! You really hit on one of my main concerns -- keeping my story Canon! I've written AU stuff, but here I truly wanted to create an extension of JKR's story, and I tried to build it directly from every Snape scene in HBP (excluding what Hagrid overheard -- we love Hagrid, but he's somewhat an unreliable narrator!). And I'll admit, I had a blast writing the Pensive scene, especially going into memories inside memories! Thanks for reading and reviewing! 😊

    Brilliantly done.

    Author's Response: Thank you! I've written a lot more since this (one of my earliest stories), but "All the Difference" remains one of my personal favorites after all these years. 😊 Many thanks for reading and reviewing! Have a terrific day!

    This was utterly brilliant. Your research was clearly thorough. Thanks so much for this.

    Author's Response: Thank you for the compliment! Sort of gut instinct nagging me into knit-picking through the novel over and over until I was convinced I'd figured things out. And then came the challenge of trying to present my ideas convincingly... Many thanks for reading and reviewing! 😊

    Very clever and completely plausible! Thank you so much for an excellent story

    Author's Response: I REALLY combed through J.K. Rowling's original work to analyze every last detail before committing to this story. I don't know if she would say that I hit the nail on the head, but I honestly think I swung the hammer accurately! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

    Awesome just doesn't sum it up.

    Author's Response: Thanks!!! I worked so hard on getting the details ironed out, analyzing HBP over and over again. It makes my day when someone praises the story like you did. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing! 😊

    Really very interesting. I appreciate the nuance that you brought to this; it was a great example of fanfiction expanding on the narrow perspective of the books, which are confined to Harry's viewpoint. I also appreciate that you brought such importance to an isolated incident and in so doing highlighted other plotlines- all using existing elements like the Legilimency and Snape's memories. Talented writing and thoughtful reading on your part!

    Author's Response: Thank you very much! I just couldn't shake the feeling that more was going on in HBP than JKR was overtly showing us. When I finally came up with the premise for this story, I just knew I had to write it. I think JKR is a genius with her misdirection! Thank you so much for your review! 😊

    Excellent story!

    Author's Response: Thank you for saying so! I had this idea kicking around in my head for a couple of years before I ever put pen to paper, but all the mental "writing" I did during that time helped me work out my plot! Thanks for the review! :-)

    Author's Response: Wow! Thanks for making my day! Terrific surprise to receive a review on a story I posted nearly 4 years ago! I'm so glad to see people are still reading -- and enjoying -- it! Yay!!! :-D

    Excellent analysis, really. You've made some very good points with this memory and discussion--things I wonder if JKR herself even considered as she wrote.

    Author's Response: Thanks! :-) I read where JKR said she'd deliberately left some things open-ended in the series so readers could speculate about them. I can't help thinking that the scene after the 2nd round of Legilimency may have been one of them! Something about it wouldn't stop nagging at me, and after analyzing EVERY Snape scene in HPB, I came up with this hypothesis. Glad you enjoyed! And thanks for the review!
