I love your description of Snape's relationships with his Slytherin friends. I agree with your depiction that Snape was not a complete loner in his own house, and that all the Slytherins that became DE's were not "born evil." I disagree that there is widespread prejudice against Slytherins either in Hogwarts or in the world - I think Slytherins tend to gravitate toward positions of political power. I think the negative picture we get of Slytherin House is caused by viewing it through the Harry filter. However, again your picture is also compatible with canon.

Author's Response: There may be no prejudice against Slytherins in thewider world, but there certainly seems to beat Hogwarts. Otherwise how can one explain that no teacher intervened at the Feast when the twins started hissing the Slytherin firsties for where they were Sorted. Hissing is a rather pentrating sound, and the Hall was relatively quiet as Sorting continued, so I doubt that it's because no one heard...

Powerful images here and powerful emotions as well. Very well done. You have me interested in reading more!

Author's Response: There are seven chapters written but I've stalled on this fic while writing various SSHGs. I'm hoping to get reinspired.

As always a painfully heart-twisting look into a shattered young life. This chapter makes me want to say: Foolish child you can't undo what you did, but at least you can try to make it right. On the eastcoast USA, a sook is a soft-shelled female crab. Also a fisherman's term for a coward.

Author's Response: When I first posted this chapter at ffnet, I hadn't realised that only Aussies woould recognise "sook". After a reviewer queried it, I thought of changing it to "wimp" but I've used that a little later and "crybaby" didn't have the right rhythm for my ear. Teenagers are prone to making mistakes that can ruin their lives. Sometimes they can make things right but a it's a long hard road.
