Your Review

Thanks for your review and all :).
Partly though, this is why I don't post on Tumblr. I have found that some people tend to take things a little too seriously, and treat it like a personal insult when I 'generalise' (and I am fully aware that I did), not for the sake of pushing my views onto other people, but merely so the essay wouldn't be 2,600 pages long. This was merely meant to be a jokey little number, by a fan-girl who can see no reason other than 'Snape is fit. I love him'. Lots of people writing about Edward Cullen seem to get away with it... :/. On to more positive aspects, however, reading the views on Fanfiction.net and here, I am completely delighted that so many have intelligent, challenging and opposing views. If I were to write a full 'essay' (I may just do so, and PROPERLY this time; the essays I've had to hand in at Uni were wearing me out, and this was partly the backlash) I would take a completely different angle... Alan Rickman aside. At the end of the day, he's an actor, not the character. It's the character I'm truly interested in.
I have taken the the reoccurring view that all women do not want a 'past' into consideration. I'm not really sure how to explain it, but the entire charade concerning 'they want to SOOTH the past and make a pleasant FUTURE' was entirely in jest. My problem (and this has been frequently remarked upon) is that I'm too erratic for my own good, and don't really take the time or effort to give any real explanations, or make things clear to the intended audience. Trust me, this has had several of my seminar tutors hold their faces in their hands and assure me that assumption 'is the mother of all fuck-ups' :P (This is a direct quote, thank you Mr Literature in the Modern World).
Anyway, thanks for your review, you've made some pretty damn valid points. I'm now terrified that I look a bit thick, to be honest. Now 'scuse me, must go and buy a humble pie to present to my LMW tutor (and believe this, he will make me eat it).
