| 12-31-2006 03:24 Ah, the return of Fleagle! :-D I loved the Vance part and the poem, especially the Crup's collar line. Another excellent chapter. | |||

This is my favourite Snape - a brilliant liar and, as Voldemort puts it, entirely too intelligent to be scheming. I wouldn't usually read fics with such a high Dursley-content, but I was pleasantly surprised by your portrayal of them here. Looking foward to the next chapter! Author's Response: I am proud to be a provider of enjoyable high-Dursley-content fic. ;-) Thank you so much for your comments, LQ! | |||

I like reading about about his trips down memory lane, wondering how this will all tie in. Waiting patiently for the next chapter. | |||

Although the waiting Snape was a little nerve-wracking, the spots of humor in his thinking, reading, and remembering were splendid. The verse at the end attributed to Wilkes has me extremely envious. I can't write the least little bit of poetry. Wonderful chapter as usual. I would have reviewed earlier--I got the Owl about the update--but it was a grim week for meetings and busy-ness. Really looking forward to the next! | |||

I think my favorite part was the talking desk. Or possibly the completely elementary advice offered by the how-to book. But poor Snape -- JK says Dumbledore has no confidant, but then neither does the Half-Blood Prince. Author's Response: Snape may well get away with "murder", but not blatant abuse of his own office furniture...;-) Thanks for reading, Deeble, and for the feedback. | |||

I do wish that Snape had *someone* to talk to, to talk things out with. And I'm very interested in learning more about the etiology of those memories. I like your rhyme. "Pay if you're lonely" indeed! Author's Response: I'm very glad to hear that the memories make you curious, rather than bored (a definite worry of mine). Thanks for the comments! | |||

I love the back and forth of this chapter, and I'm impressed with the way you slipped Snape's memories about his childhood into the story. It felt very natural. Same with Petunia's sudden insight about Dudley ... or, her refusal to accept that insight that he could be involved in drugs, etc. Great job as usual! | |||

| 12-31-2006 01:37 This chapter is marvelous. I especially enjoyed the flashback, the Petunia "fretting" paragraph and this: "Snape could have blasted it open, but he’d decided to allow the rat the illusion of having a choice in the matter—another tactic he’d picked up from Lucius. Although, as Snape reflected, the concept wasn’t entirely unknown to Dumbledore." :-) | |||

I do love your story-telling, Grainne (so much so that I'm reading it when I should be studying for my test tomorrow ;)! You paint Snape in such a realistic way; with Peter, he's a mixture of the horrible teacher we see through Harry's eyes & the relatively personable individual we see with Narcissa and Bella. He's a rounded, dynamic character whose mission has me sitting on the edge of my seat with curiosity. :) Oh, I also wanted to say how much I like the peeks you give us into Snape's past. Even better than the flashback, though, was the moment when Snape looks out the window and remembers the very mundane scene of his neighborhood alive back when the mill was open. Somehow it makes Snape so much more real to me. Author's Response: I appreciate this so much, Lunafish. If my story comes off half as eloquent as your review, then I will be a proud lady, indeed. :) | |||

| 10-31-2006 03:06 Rated 10 I have to wonder how many lap dogs in the late eighties and early nineties were named after the Duchess of York. A fascinating and sufficiently mysterious chapter, this has raised even more questions than it answered for me. His manipulation technique is masterful, and yet his flash-back style memories show he's not yet antisocial in his mind. Looking forward to #8. Author's Response: Mrs Toddy is a huge fan of Prince Andrew; naturally, she was outwardly crushed/inwardly elated when the divorce was finalized in the spring (I'm using HP Lexicon timelines for HBP). ;-) Thanks for the wonderful feedback, jen, (and for reading in the first place)! | |||
