Oh yes, I'm certain Ron goes into hiding very quickly when those two start in on books! XD
I tried extra hard for Severus to sound very un-approving of Harry since Harry is my absolute favorite character of the series, so I had a hard time sounding so negative. Severus vocabulary was also very challenging, I used the thesaurus extremely often! XD
I think Harry is very good at gathering himself to face his 'foes,' and his own faults as well, and face the challenges in his life.
I had considered entering in a scene about the Dursleys and Harry's upbringing, but that ended up not happening, unfortunately I didn't think it went with the flow of the story, so I had to skip it. I'm so glad you caught the undertone to it!! :D I have contemplated an epilogue/deleted scene type sequel that deals with this issue, so be on the look out!
Thanks for your fantastic comment, I'm very glad you enjoyed this! <3
