This is so simple and beautiful. I could feel Snape's terror at the upcoming change... (I understand because I hate haircuts too! Sooo easy to get a bad one!) The understanding from Harry was just wonderful. Unfortunately I am sure I have been just like Snape here, incoherent in trying to explain what I want but knowing what I don't. : )
This is really lovely. It looks so easy to write--deceptively easy. Such lovely use of description and language.
