    Author's Response:

    Thank you! Ah yes, I think I might have a bit of an addiction to tormenting the Chosen One.

    That was painful. Severus says he doesn’t tolerate bullies while being a bully to a person under his authority! What a hypocrite! I was too caught up in the story to notice any mistakes.

    Author's Response:

    I know, I know, Severus is cruel and hypocritical at first. In my opinion, Snape’s character is too complex. He hates bullies because of his childhood, between his father and the Marauders. This has made him the resentful and angry person he is.

    And while he hates bullies and bullying in general, he behaves like one towards Harry because he’s James Potter’s son. Let’s just say that when it comes to Harry, Severus doesn’t follow his true moral compass. He’s driven by a resentment that’s been rooted in him for more than half his life.

    I don’t think he even sees Harry as a person at first, more like the reincarnation of James Potter. I’m not sure if I’ve explained myself well, but when it comes to talking about my favourite characters, I tend to lose track of the conversation a bit.

    What I want to do with this story is maintain Snape’s initial character, where he behaves cruelly towards Harry because he only sees him as James Potter’s son. Then, I want him to recognise the similarities with Lily, and finally, if all goes well, to appreciate him for simply being Harry.

    I always enjoy exchanging opinions, and I’m grateful to you for reviewing.

    My main hope is he remains his salty attitude like most people turn him into a teddy bear towards Harry after a bit what I'm hoping to see is yes Snape becomes less cruel and gives Harry awkward comfort and can have moments of kindness but mainly bitchy kinda 



    Author's Response:

    My goal is to maintain his essence; I would never dare to turn the dungeon bat into a Hufflepuff. (Not that there’s anything wrong with Hufflepuffs, but I think you get the idea.)

    What I’m aiming for is to keep him as the same austere and intimidating Potions Master, the one who delivers sarcastic and cutting remarks, sometimes even wounding with his words.

    My objective is to portray him as the same proud Slytherin with a reluctant tolerance for one particularly annoying Gryffindor.

    Then, I’ll see if I can write their dynamic the way I have it in my head.

    What I can say for sure is that the one thing I absolutely do not want to do is completely distort Severus Snape’s character.

    Thank you for this exchange of ideas; I’ve really enjoyed discussing it with you,it’s been truly inspiring!

    Snape was so mean, I don’t like mean Snape 🥺
    But I loved the chapter, and I’m looking forward to see what Umbridge will do

    Author's Response:

    Thank you so much for the review. I think it’s necessary for Snape to be this unpleasant, at least in the beginning. I hate him too, but I can assure you he’ll get better.

    Urgh! Snape is SO infuriating!!!!!

    I think you're doing SO well for not being a native English speaker. I really don't think I could write so well in another language, lol!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you so much for the review and for your kind words.

    AHH ILYM THANK YOU IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS CHAPTER ALL DAY IM OBSESSED FINALLY SOMEONE PORTRAYING SNAPE IN HIS ACTUAL ATTITUDE I LOCE THIS SM AWAITING YOUR NEXT CHAPTER



    Author's Response:

    THANK YOU SO MUCH ! I’m truly delighted that you enjoyed the way I portrayed Snape in this chapter. I think he has to be this spiteful, at least at the beginning. Snape isn’t someone who can change overnight—it has to be a gradual journey. He’s built his entire life around resentment, and that can’t just vanish in a single day. I’m so glad you liked the chapter!
