    Absobloominlutely fabulous.
    This is going straight to my favourites.

    Author's Response: LOVING IT!!! And I really need to credit Jan_AQ for planting the seed for the plot with her Challenge. Snape as Marge's boyfriend is something I probably would never have come up with on my own! But once I managed to wrap my mind around her idea (and believe me, that took some sincere EFFORT), I had a blast writing the story! Thank you for reading and reviewing, and I'm so very pleased that you loved it!!! 🐢

    This was such an entertaining story! I never thought I’d feel sympathy towards Marge Dursley, but there you have it. Thanks for the humorous tale!

    Author's Response: SYMPATHY! Toward MARGE???!!!!! Oh, my! You're too good! I wanted her to get what she more than deserved! But I suppose each individual reader gets something different from the same piece of writing -- my fiction writing classes in college opened my eyes to that fascinating aspect. I guess I assumed dislike of Marge Dursleys was sufficiently universal that everyone would be on the same page... You're truly one in a million! Readers like you truly make writing worthwhile!!! Many many thanks for reading and reviewing!!! 💕

    The explanation of the wards was excellent, and made so much sense. It was agonizing though to envision Harry having to think of the Dursleys’ as home, given his treatment there. I’m desperately hoping for a more upbeat last chapter!

    Author's Response: Wards can be notoriously fickle... But as long as they haven't fallen completely, Harry will have a strategy to keep them in place. And tho' #4 Privet Drive can feel like hell on earth, in Harry's case, better the frying pan than the fire! Thanks for reading and reviewing! 😊

    Snape’s praise of Harry’s work, albeit using Petunia as a pass-through, was brilliant. The meals are giving Harry the chance to shine. I’m really enjoying this story.

    Author's Response: Harry didn't quite get Snape's subtle praise, did he! He probably assumed Snape was deliberately overlooking all of Harry's efforts by heaping compliments onto Petunia -- it's what the Potions Master would have done at Hogwarts. But Mr. Lawrence is cut from a different bolt of fabric -- his dove-gray personality can unbend a bit, to give credit where it's due, even if said credit flies over Harry's head! Thanks for reading and reviewing! 😺

    I like how Snape is processing everything he’s seen and experienced so far in the Dursleys abode. I appreciate that he’s seeing Harry’s home life clearly and is putting the pieces together, in line with his keen observational skills as a spy. I also like how the wards are weakening over time, which feels rather realistic as far as wards go.

    Author's Response: Yes, I decided to give Snape a break from Marge so he could marshall his thoughts regarding Harry's situation. He'll need to verify his suspicions, but will Harry cooperate?¿? 😁 Many thanks for reading and reviewing!

    I can’t wait for the Dursleys to find out exactly who their mysterious guest is (mwah, ha, ha!) I hope they get their just dues. Thanks for the very well done Ripper scene.

    Author's Response: Ripper!!! I'm a cat person at heart, tho' I was raised with dogs, but we had good doggies, not vicious little fiends! Still, dogs are dogs... The "brown tornado" was based on two of our dogs, Roy (who spun silently) and Hamlet (who growled while whirling!). And I learned to beware of a friend's dog, Peanut, who repeatedly wet down my leg! Ugh. I'm SO much a cat person! Glad you liked this chapter! Thank you for reading and reviewing!

    This is a hilarious and entertaining start to your story. What a humorous prompt! I like the tentative rapport between the two cousins over the strangeness of the situation.

    Author's Response: At first, I couldn't even imagine HIM as HER boyfriend... But once the challenge prompt entered my brain, it kept niggling and niggling. Then it hit me! It was just make-believe! And THEN I set out to have FUN!!! And yes, the Harry-Dudley rapport added so much to the overall situation -- hee! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

    I love this fic!

    Author's Response: Hey, I see by the date that you were reading this fic during the pandemic! I hope my story helped to brighten some of the darkest hours our generation has known. Sorry to have taken so long to respond, but I value every review my readers are kind enough to post. Many thanks!

    I really enjoyed this original plot

    Author's Response: So sorry to have taken almost three years to respond to your review--but I truly do appreciate my readers' feedback! 😊 The concept for "Marge's Boyfriend" originated with Jan_AQ, from her challenge by the same title. I don't think anyone else has answered her challenge (yet), but once I managed to wrap my mind around the idea (which took some doing, believe me!!!), I just ran with it, and I had a blast writing the scenes! Many thanks for reading and reviewing!
