Reviews for To Do All in my Power

So far I have only gotten to chp 3, but I think this is excellent --one of the most inspiring works I have read to date. Not only are you fleshing out the 'missing scenes' of Snape's headmastership, but you are detailing the work required to produce novel magical potions and what his mandate to protect the students of Hogwarts required of him. Absolutely brilliant. So much so, I had to comment before I finished. More people should read this.

Author's Response: Thanks for your review! This was my first ever Snape-fiction, and in many ways the hardest--glad you seem to appreciate it at its worth.

Just getting back to your story. You're doing a great job and have cleaned up the grammar--it's much easier to understand now. Man, where do you come up with these ideas! The logic is fascinating to follow.

Author's Response: Thanks! I have a naturally devious mind (buffs her fingernails modestly), and I like playing with the holes in the story and following ideas to their conclusion. This one, though I'm only now posting, is the first fanfiction I wrote--in the post-DH heat. Thanks for your input.

Yes, the true purebloods tend to be 'Deliverance' rejects, don't they? I've often wondered how he ever got any power at all with so many feeble minded purblood Death Eaters as his followers. I bet they had to wear slip on shoes because they couldn't figure out how to tie their shoelaces either with a spell or manually. If he managed to use inbreeding like that he would have eternal power because no one would have the intellect to challenge him or try to overthrow him. Given his prejudices it would work perfectly for him. It always amaze me how Rowling paralleled him to Hitler even to the Muggle and the Jewish ancestors. This plan is so 'liebensbaum' it fits in perfectly with that. Have you ever seen a TV movie with Lee Remick called 'Of Pure Blood'? I think Rowling must have.

Author's Response: I don't have TV so I haven't seen the movie. As to the other, truly it's largely a reflection of JKR's twisted moral views: you can tell who's good and evil by how ugly they are, right? But I can use it creatively in a story... and considering how small the Wizarding population is, inbreeding really will be a serious problem.

Very Clever! Thanks for the update! I love the scheming Slytherins - Snape is quite brilliant.

Author's Response: I rather enjoy Phineas Nigellus; it was fun to make him fume!

Very nicely done - well crafted deliberate manipulation with a reasonable attention paid to the actual effects, and without assuming that one can bully people into believing something. Consulting with Phineas was interesting, and a marked contrast to consulting with Albus - certainly Albus has proved to be a poor choice for encouraging multigeneration belif in a wide-ranging audience, only blind obedience with a carefully set up history.

Author's Response: So glad you enjoyed this; with whom else would a Slytherin consult? Snape wants to consider the effect of the suggestion upon an impartial, and, er, intelligent, audience, after all....

Wow, now that's fine and detailed manipulation. Amazing.

Author's Response: Well, would you expect otherwise of two Slytherins (even if one of them is deceased)? Glad you enjoyed it... some of what's coming up is less enjoyable, at least from Severus' point of view.

This very good; I really like it. Do keep going. Scaranda.

Author's Response: I hear and obey (bows)! Give me more detailed criticism and I'll give more detailed response (hint, not just you, Scaranda!).
