Story Notes:
Many Fan-fics portray Elieen Snape and Petunia Dursley as vulnerable women who are terrified into neglecting their charges by abusive husbands. However, not all women are saints: some are cruel, some are deceitful and some bully, deceive and control their husbands. Tobias is inspired by the character Joe Gargery from 'Great Expectations' by Charles Dickens.

I've used Yule because I want to deliniate a very definate wizarding culture.'Yule' is the pre-Christian term for the midwinter festival and, therefore, I think it more likely that traditional Purebloods would use the earlier, Pagan holiday-name instead of Christian term for this festival.
