Reviews For Right in Front of Me (Book 1)
Author's Response: Let the angst begin! :)
Author's Response: Poor Harry isn't sure how to deal with his emotions. He's never exactly had a healthy adult to emulate (with the exception of Dumbledore, who's end goal has always been "The Greater Good" and not Harry himself, so in my opinion that doesn't count.) Thank you for the review! :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much!! I'm glad you're enjoying it.
Author's Response: You got it, my friend!! :) Thank you for the review!
He tells Harry that he was "weeping pathetically", he disciplines Harry because Harry was in a hurry to help Snape, he tells Harry that the Order "doesn't know what to do with Harry", then he tells Harry that what happened with Dudley was basically his fault. Way to make the abused child feel welcome, Snape. Author's Response: I know, he can be quite the bastard ('scuse my French). But although Snape may think he's got it all under control, he's very close to losing it (as we shall soon see...) Poor Snape. He's just as messed up as Harry, maybe even more so...
Author's Response: Lol, thank you so much!! I'm really enjoying exploring this version of Snape. I'm glad you like it!!
Author's Response: Gaw, thanks so much!! :)
Having Snape be injured adds a level and measure of drama and worry. Harry really is vulnerable without his wand, and Snape knows exactly what could happen to him if the Death Eaters catch him. So scary! I loved Snape's worry and panic here. It was really cool to see the flurry of magic in the kitchen in the beginning of this chapter. Very imaginative. I loved reading the conversation between Dumbledore and Snape. Interesting that Snape would keep Harry's secret shame from Dumbledore; I wonder at his reasons. it seems like there are hints that perhaps Snape had experienced it himself. Great chapter. I really enjoyed Harry's characterization, being a troubled teenager, but still a good kid. Snape is such a troubled and complex character as well. You handled him very well in this chapter. I am really loving the story! Author's Response: I think that in that moment right before Harry disappeared out the door, Snape realized what a prat he was being to the poor kid. Snape's viciousness is his go-to self-defense when he feels that someone is getting too close. Unfortunately Harry has a way of worming into people's hearts, which Snape was definitely not ready for. The parallels he draws from Harry's home life make it even worse for him. He's definitely (unintentionally) started the domino effect, which he wouldn't be able to stop even if he wanted to. Thank you so much for the review! :) |
