Reviews For Right in Front of Me (Book 1)
Author's Response: Yes, it definitely made Harry start thinking about Snape in a totally different way. He's starting to realize that there is definitely more than meets the eye when it comes to his professor. Thank you so much for the review! :)
It did seem a little bit out of character for Snape to open up so easily, quickly, and completely. This secret was something he wanted to take to his grave. Perhaps the pain, the shock and everything shook his beliefs of needing to keep his knowledge of Lily safe. Or maybe he finally realized that Harry wouldn't hurt him over it. It would seem more supportive if Snape had drunk some alcohol, or a calming draught, or something to give him courage. But I can see it, Severus reaching out and being able to share. Perhaps seeing Lillian, and mistaking her for Lily reminded Snape what it was like to love, to be human. Maybe this is the first step for letting go and moving on. it was precious to see Snape share his memories and things of Lily with Harry. Beautiful. I really loved Harry's thought and revelations in this chapter, that his mom had loved Snape, had him as a close friend. She saw something in Snape and now Harry is starting to realize it too. Oh, of course Snape would of saved Lily's wand! He was there when she was dead, where she used it for the last time. He probably was there when she got it for the first time too. Oh, that made my heart hurt. This poor man had been through so much. Beautiful chapter. Author's Response: You know what's funny? I actually considered having him drink before the revelation. But in my opinion, I think my version of Snape would be a mean drunk. After thinking long and hard about it, I figured - like you - that after seeing Lilith and mistaking her for Lily, that he would relive the pain from his past. But unlike when it happened before, he actually has someone now who understands that pain. I hope you can forgive the "out of character"... I'll give some serious thought to how I can improve the scene. Thank you for the review!
