Thank you for commenting. I'm glad you liked Snape as a scorpion - I thought that was definitely one of my best ideas! As for Molly - she's supposed to be this wonderful motherly person and yet she is something of an interfering old bag, and she was the one who refused to treat Harry as a young adult, refused to accept the situation he was in and left him to go into it blind, without the knowledge that the Order could have given him. I dislike her more than I dislike Ginny! Anyway, I'm glad you liked the fic!
