 RebeccaRoy 2008-12-07 . chapter 1Wow, very sad, and powerful too. |
 wynnleaf 2006-04-18 . chapter 1This was very, very good. I like the way you ended it similar to the "Snape's worst memory." Echoing that emphasizes again the way Snape feels about this vulnerability. |
 duj 2005-11-13 . chapter 1Well-planned, well-written. Snape has good reason to fear himself as he has been the author, no matter how forced, of his own greatest shames - and anyway he's more prone to blame himself than others. The closer the friend the more they can hurt you, but Snape's never had a friend and could not let anyone in that close if he wanted to. |
 excessivelyperky 2005-10-25 . chapter 1Scary. Of course he's going to blame Potter if the boy is close around. So many things _have_ happened, especially those that Harry has lied about, why should Snape believe him? (Of course Harry never thinks about that part. If he thinks...).
So sad and scary, this boggart. |
 Bellegeste 2005-10-25 . chapter 1Wouldn't we love to know what Snape's Boggart really is - JKR says it would give too much away if she told us. This version seems very credible - I feel that his Boggart could easily be a form of himself, whether acting as the voice of doubt as here, or possibly himself in a position of vulnerability where his barricade of emotional defences no longer hold.
There is something disturbing about the seductiveness of this Boggart, and the way Snape is strangely drawn to it, while simultaneously repulsed. The way he leans into that caress is sad. So, not only does he fear the dark negative thoughts, but also the prospect of tenderness. |
 ckat44 2005-10-25 . chapter 1Ooh that is SO good and so original...It is so...unique and odd but wonderful...Amazing job. |
 Padawan Jan-AQ 2005-10-25 . chapter 1Very intense, very good. I was wrapped up in the story. it writing seemed like it needed more work, but the content was amazing. Thanks for sharing! |
 whitehound 2005-10-23 . chapter 1Oh dear - that's very good and very likely and very, very horrible.
[Personally I think his boggart is Lupin - but what's to say a person can't have two or more boggarts, according to mood?] |
