    Cute, cute, cute!! I love supportive Minerva. I really liked the spell as well with all the examples (even if some where sad). It was well executed. (There are some who really miss the mark, if you know what I mean.) Of course, some of it has to be with originally, which you had down! I love this work and wait patiently for the next!

    Author's Response: Thank you for your thoughtful review. I enjoyed thinking up of scenarios and had to keep myself from telling the entire story of all the different examples with this spell - well the three examples. I do have the full backgrounds to those examples, but a writer knows to only reveal what’s important, even if we wish to tell all. Haha! Thanks again for your review and I promise to update soon!

    First of all, still loving the story! Secondly, I can't help but throw in my "two cents" about Severus and his parenting skills... :) It's easy to forget that he came from a working class family with a father who lost his temper often. It's no surprise that Severus was mean and bitter and short-tempered as a teacher. Some readers like to pretend that he would have been Father of the Year to Harry, but that isn't very realistic. In canon, he lost his temper all the time. I can easily see him losing his temper at being disobeyed and resorting to physical punishment. I can see him regretting it and feeling guilty about it as well...like any other human being. Realistically, people swat their kids out of anger...or shout at them...and, yes, it stems from anger, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. It also doesn't mean that person is abusive...

    I came from a very loving home, but my dad lost his temper more than once... We always got over it and moved on...it's not unusual behavior...

    What you've shown consistently throughout these first few chapters is Severus' discomfort and frustration. He's frustrated that this duty was dumped on him, yet he can't do what he knows is morally right...hence the nightmare of Dumbledore scorning him. This is going to make him unconsciously more protective of Harry, and his restricting Harry and being stern about it is more in character than Snape cuddling him and reassuring him. Snape's father wouldn't have done that for him, so why would he know gentleness?

    Don't feel like you have to justify your writing to anyone. Literature shouldn't give you warm fuzzies all the time... If that's what someone wants, then let them write their own marshmallow version of Severus and bask in his unreality... Stay true to your characterization of him...I think you're spot on, here :)

    Author's Response: Thank you for your encouraging words. I am still pretty new to all of this and I’m not always sure how to respond to readers sometimes. I just do my best to stay positive! I’m glad Severus is true to himself (canon self) and that you really enjoy his character in this story. I am doing my best to make him as realistic as possible in a situation like this. And I’m sorry if I can’t give the warm fuzzies some people are looking for, but to those who know Snape and enjoy his bitterness, I shall keep writing for you. I do promise to update soon! And thanks again!
