Reviews For Hut of No Return
Author's Response: I wanted to show the real Harry, who could only reveal his innermost thoughts and fears to the Sorting Hat. It's a bit different from stories where Harry is biased against Slytherin due to his perceptions of Voldemort and Draco, but it still works. Thank you for the review!
Author's Response: I just HAD to put that in! ;-D
Snape was trying to influence Harry into his house wasn't he? LOL Perfect Slytherin thing to do. Loved the Wizard of Oz reference, especially since it went right over Minerva's head. :-D Harry's reasoning behind going to Gryffindor was totally understandable with the reasons he gave the hat. I liked that he didn't go into the sorting thinking that all Slytherins were evil. Since he hasn't met Draco or Ron yet he didn't have their actions guiding him but was able to rely solely on his own conceptions of how things are. Author's Response: Ah HA! THIS is one of those things that came up in my fiction writing courses in college-- I never actually thought (CONSCIOUSLY, that is!) about Snape attempting to influence Harry into Slytherin! In MY mind, Snape was defending Slytherin's reputation from being besmirched by McGonagall's summary of House qualities for Harry's understanding! However, one thing I've learned, the more I write: the SUBCONSCIOUS mind has a way of insinuating its own agenda into my writing, and now that you mention that, MAYBE Snape really was hoping to influence Harry toward Slytherin! I won't dispute it, although I never intended it! Harry was always destined for Gryffindor, just like in canon, even though he does possess Slytherin qualities. When I read what you wrote, I had to LOL!!! And yes, I really had to come up with reasons for Harry to decide independently that he needed to be in Gryffindor-- or, at the very least, NOT to be in Slytherin! |
