Reviews For New Perspective
Finally! The time for change!!!
I'm so disappointed in all the adults for misrabily failing to do anything of meaning against one tyrant women... and they expect to win against an army of Voldemort's (truly pathetic)... even though I really wish to know what was the point of all that playing meek and laying low, what end plan did they have in mind? Know it's anyones guess, becuase the children had had enough and now it's their time to shine Really can't wait ... and with the both of Draco's and Hermoine's mindes togother I think they have a solid chance ... hopefully something that won't rebound so badly on them. Thank you for this chapter.. and I can't wait for more. Author's Response: Thank you for the review ,I'm glad you liked it.To be honest, I was surprised when, in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the adults did nothing to oppose Umbridge, and Dumbledore simply left. I mean, obviously in the book, Umbridge isn’t as cruel during detentions as I’ve portrayed her, but even using a Blood Quill still like torture. That’s why I decided to leave things as they were, though when it came to the use of Crucio, I made sure the professors came together and started to plan something. I can’t tell you yet whether the professors’ plan or the students’ plan will come into play first, as I don’t want to spoil anything. Reflecting on why the adults haven’t done anything so far, one explanation could be the fear of what happened to Madam Pomfrey happening to them—being fired or, worse, sent to Azkaban. As we know, Dolores Umbridge is a representative of the Ministry, and opposing her would mean opposing the Ministry itself. For a teacher, that would mean professional ruin or even being accused of treason. Not to mention that the adults left at Hogwarts are disorganized, with Dumbledore strategically stepping away, leaving the professors in a difficult position. Of course, they can’t openly challenge Umbridge without facing consequences, as any resistance would be seen as an act against the government, given that Umbridge has the Ministry’s full support. Still, many of your observations are valid. When I read the books, I asked myself the same questions—how can they expect to defeat Voldemort if they can’t even stand up to one woman? Thank you again for your review! I always find it stimulating to exchange opinions.
Excellent chapter, it's definitely time someone acted and I'm intrigued what Severus will do about this revolt. Author's Response: Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed the chapter! I’ll just say that Occlumency lessons are on the horizon—who knows if Harry will manage to avoid being discovered and derail the plan?
WOOOOO EXCITED FOR NEXT ONE, brother when Snape finds out Harry finna get a ass kicking 🥹, also when's Sirius coming in Author's Response: I think I’ll bring Sirius into the story later on; for now, he’d just get in the way. As for a good scolding coming up, I think you might be right! Author's Response: I think I’ll bring Sirius into the story later on; for now, he’d just get in the way.

Is Snape growing fond of harry? Author's Response: At this point in the story, not yet. Let’s say Snape has realized that Harry’s not spoiled and arrogant as he thought, so in a way, he’s starting to understand that Harry’s not the same as James. But as for being fond of him at this point in the story, I’d say absolutely not.
Thank you for updating. I loved the Pomfrey and Umbridge confrontation, good on Poppy! Harry needs to think carefully about the conversation with Severus he may be surprised! Author's Response: Thank you so much for your review! I’m so glad you enjoyed this part of the story. I agree with you—Harry has a lot to think about. Thanks again, sending you a big hug!

You are very consequent in your portrayal: reading this scenario, you got us thinking that yes, it's likely that he wouldn't let go of his hatred even after he's seen the Dursley's abuse. It would take an awful lot, and your fic raises the question: when will he wake up to who Harry really is? After all, he's seen Harry get abused and tortured and he hardly bats an eye, so I'm curious if that is not the catalyst for some 'warming up', what will be - shear exposure? This is something I'm wrestling with in my own fic (Keep Your Enemies Closer, I haven't posted it here yet btw, it's on A3O and I recommend putting your fic there as well!) What I mean with that: I'm writing Snape as a cruel, mean bully to Harry, which he is according to Rowling herself as well. I'm writing a really slow-burn Snape mentorship as well, and I'm noticing I try to soften him up, then I reread later and I know: no, he will NOT soften up, almost nothing will get him there. So, you know, a lovely challenge to find the right buttons with Snape to push :). Thank you for sharing with us this gem, will follow you on FFN as well. Author's Response: Wow, thank you so much! I’m truly speechless. What you’ve said is the highest compliment I think anyone could give a writer, and I’m genuinely thrilled that you’re enjoying my story. I’m so glad you like the way I’ve portrayed Snape, and as for your question—well, it’s a very interesting one. I love having discussions about these themes; I find it both stimulating and fun. Regarding the question you raised, I’ve always thought, after reading many fanfictions, that the way Snape is often written to change overnight feels strange. It doesn’t ring true to me because Snape is such a resentful man, someone who has carried this hatred with him his whole life—he practically thrives on it. So I find it unlikely that simply witnessing Harry’s abuse would be enough to shift something so deeply rooted. I believe it has to be a gradual, slow process. Snape is an intelligent man, but he can also be blind at times, and I think admitting his mistakes—especially when it comes to Potter’s son—wouldn’t come easily to him. To overcome his hatred, I think he first has to learn to separate James Potter from Harry Potter. Frankly, I don’t think even being Lily’s son would be enough; it hasn’t been in the past, so there has to be something more. I don’t want to spoil anything, but if you continue reading my story, I think you’ll see where I’m going with this soon enough. As for AO3, it’s not a platform I’ve used much for reading since I’ve always preferred FFN.net, but I’ll definitely take your advice and start posting there as well. I hope I’ve answered your questions in a satisfying way, but if not, don’t hesitate to write again. Honestly, I sometimes wish it were easier to just have a conversation rather than replying through reviews, lol. P.S.: I’ve read part of your story, and I find it really intriguing. As soon as I have some free time, I’ll dive deeper into it. I’ve been missing good stories to read lately, so thank you!
Wow, I just noticed you haven't ended this on cliffhanger XD
Welcome back! We missed you and your updates, hope you're doing better now? Again such a lovely chapter, you are slowly showing Severus's change of heart I loved this, but I must admitt I'm worried for Menirva now ( hope she is okay) Can't wait to read more!! Author's Response: Thank you so much! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, and I’m glad you like my portrayal of Snape. As for Minerva, I can’t reveal anything just yet, but I needed Harry to have no one else to rely on except our beloved bat of the dungeons. Sending a hug, and see you in the next chapter! <3
