Reviews For Marge's Boyfriend
Author's Response: Nearly all of the stories I've read have the issue of the wards close to failing because Harry hates his relatives and doesn't really consider #4 to be his home in the way that Hogwarts is. I decided to try a new approach, to get Harry himself to strengthen the blood wards through a change in focus. Snape's advice is unusual, but he means it sincerely. Thanks for reviewing!
Author's Response: Absolutely! I get annoyed with stories where Snape fights against the reality if Harry's home situation chapter after chapter before he finally gives in and admits Harry isn't a spoiled little prince after all. Right from the start, Snape is putting two and two together to get the four which he'll use to confront Dumbledore. Here, in private, we even see him wincing at the violence used against Harry, something we'd never suspect if he had his mask firmly in place. Thanks for reviewing!
Author's Response: I don't think even a dog lover (aside from Marge herself) could be fond of Ripper. What a little furry thug! I based the "brown tornado" on two different dogs in my past who loved to spin through the yard like tornadoes. And, of course, the neighbors got to see the whole fiasco!
Author's Response: Yes, I kept trying to keep the chapter balanced between the humor and the dramatic elements. I'm so glad someone noticed the Llasa Apso reference! I couldn't resist! Thanks for reviewing!
Author's Response: Oh gee! Well, at least his future wife won't have to worry about the two of them starving if she doesn't know how to boil water without burning it! But I thought it would be fun to do more with food, since Harry probably knows more about its preparation than does the man spying on him. 😉 Thanks for the review!
Author's Response: Personally, I would've liked for Snape to take Harry out of there, but at least he'll report the facts to Dumbledore. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Author's Response: And thank you so much for taking the time to comment on every chapter. Much appreciated, and I'm pleased that you liked the story.
Author's Response: Yes, Snape came to check the wards, and he ended up having a good laugh! Glad you enjoyed it, too! 😊 Thanks for the review!
Author's Response: Given that Mr. Lawson is supposed to be a food critic, I thought it would be fun to include another food scene for Snape to observe Harry in action. Thank you for your review!
Author's Response: Snape needed some down time to process everything, and I wanted to show the transition of his ideas pertaining to Harry. Thank you for reviewing! |
