Reviews For This World of Glass
Draco and Harry must be scared, after this first reminder of the reality of what is coming. I really liked how you described that, and also Severus' thoughts on his situation. Still, I'm not giving up on my theory :)! Looking forward to more! Author's Response: I'm glad you liked the scene with Hagrid, as I really enjoyed writing it. Yes, while Severus has had the constant reminders, Draco and Harry have not seen him faint again. Glad to see you're still optimistic. Well, thank you for the review Sita! It was nice to hear from you.
Sigh...really hope our Professor Snape gets a happy ending...sniff...and I want him to date Laura! I hate it when a favorite dies... Hugs and Love, Vanime Author's Response: Wow, glad you're enjoying it. First off, because Harry is his adopted son (he adopted Harry in the first story in this series, if you read it) Harry cannot get L.S., as it is passed through genetics and Harry has no blood connection to Snape. Secondly, there are a number of reasons for why Severus is not working on developing his own cure. He doesn't understand how Lethifold Syndrome works, and even the healers have limited knowledge of that, as the disease is realatively new. I know I haven't explained any of this, but it wasn't a priority of mine for Snape to try to cure himself, because in my mind he sort of understands that while he is a great potions master, this is out of his hands. On top of that, the healers - as mentioned in this chapter - have sent him a number of potions, and he was not sure of how he could have improved them or why they did not work. It's all sort of complicated, and quite a good question on your part. In the drawing board stage I did have a little bit of him trying to create a cure, but I had decided it was too dangerous for him to keep testing potions and he would not have the resources to properly understand how the disease was creating the effects inside him. Anyways, I really hope that explanation helps some, and I'm sorry if I never did mention any of this; like I said, I was focusing on other themes and such in the story! Thank you so much for the review Vanime, and the wonderful question that got my mind thinking! Cheers, Em.
Author's Response: Glad you liked it. I quite agree with you on Severus, and how much his past shapes him. It is funny, because I see little snippets of the past in people every day, and I suppose that is why I wanted to write Severus this way - to remind people that the past never really does leave you, for better or worse, even if you've moved on. Thank you so much for the feedback!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review!
I was kind of nervous when I realized what Sev was planning to do, but you explained his motivation very convincingly; he really needed to do it. I loved to hear his side of the story; it made so much sense. People who join fascist or terrorist organizations are often (though not always) from disadvantaged backgrounds and easily fall prey to the promises of belonging. And I liked that Sev has enough distance to recognize why Lily would be so final in her judgment. Loved this chapter (for some reason, I giggled really hard at the image of Dumbledore pulling Snape up by his collar ;) )! Looking forward to more soon! Author's Response: I am so relieved you liked it. To tell the truth I didn't want to write this scene, but it occured to me that it would hurt Harry not to know, and seeing as what is happening to Severus, he would feel he need to tell him. I'm glad you thought the motivations were good. I also snickered when writing about Dumbledore dragging Snape up by the collar, so I'm not surprised someone else found it sort of funny.
Author's Response: Glad it appealed to you! Thanks for the review!
Author's Response: Remember that it takes place in Half Blood Prince, so Dumbledore wants Harry to try to convince Slugorn to get that memory, right? I still want J.K.'s plot to be going on in the background, even if I have changed a lot, so that's why that's still happening. Thank you very much for the review. I quite agree with you on Draco probably being able to dance! Cheers!
I really liked the contrast of the scene with Albus (very nice writing wrapping that up, by the way!), and the scene with Harry. By the way, Harry - get over yourself, all of the other boys would kill to be in your place ;)!! Lovely chapter, once again a great balance of angst and humor. Looking forward to more (maybe the ball?)! Author's Response: Glad you liked it! Yes, silly Harry. I dunno though ... Romilda Vane can be terrifying. As for the ball, Christmas holidays have to come first. Thank you for the review Sita!
Author's Response: Thank you. :)
I love Harry's "moustache" and that Snape made him shave it off - he should tell Harry that the more you shave, the more you grow! And I can just see a young Sev growing a beard to tease Lucius (but then, I can't see Lucius with a moustache... and I think he has enough to do taking care of that silky blond mane of his ;) ). I also liked Sev's ruminations on Harry's and Draco's childhood and teen years, and his admission that he liked cuddling with the kids. Hehe, first-years coming for a good night story... As for my theory, I think Sev should concentrate on those lessons with Minerva... am I right?? Thanks for another lovely chapter, Whitetail! Author's Response: Glad you liked it! I thought the moustache thing was funny too. My thoughts on Lucius are that he never really could grow anything awesome, so that's why he was always clean shaven, and possibly compensated with the crazy long hair. I seriously have some family members that are in their mid forties and still can't really grow much of a beard. Moustache, yeah, beard no. I can just picture Snape growing one to tease someone though, so I'm glad you liked that. Anyways, as for your theory, I'm not going to say anything. I would really love answer your question or give you a hint, as I very much enjoy hearing theories, but I'm horrible at giving hints, as they most often either confuse the hell out of people or lead them right to the conclusion. So ... yeah. Thanks for the review Sita! |
