Reviews For MINDSCAPE - The Healing Journey
His waffling on Umbridge and protection of Petunia (a fucking child abuser) for the sake of the status quo and his personal plans, rather than justice and harry's safety leave quite the bitter taste in my mouth. DD isn't off the hook in my opinion. Nor is he capable of choosing Harry's protector at the Dursley's. I honestly don't think DD see's harry as a person; just a tool. Love (read: hate) how Severus conveniently didn't show his own abuse of Harry and will come off as the Hero in DD's eyes. And when harry disputes this, DD will admonish him, leaving Harry feeling unheard and his justified complaints dismissed as unimportant. That the abuser is once again getting away with it, with DD's knowledge and consent. Just like Petunia and Umbridge will. I seriously hope Harry doesn't just forgive and accept him. IRL, Snape would have some serious confession and atonement to do before any sort of halfway positive relationship could be formed. Forget about trust. IRL, that wouldn't happen for a very long time and only after a lot of work on Snape's part. I honestly don't think this Snape would be capable or even willing to do it. Does Snape even really care that abused Harry? Or is it just a momentary feeling of shame that he was wrong and was forced to admit that? Am I being too critical of Snape? Great chapter! |
