I much prefer to watch a powerful, adult Harry who is a match for Snape, maybe not as sneaky or experienced, but with greater compassion and emotional flexibility and maybe more powerful innate magic.
There was so much in your interview that made me say, "Uh-huh", but this statement especially. I have an aversion to Snarry that makes Harry a wimpering, dominated partner. You're right, this Harry that you propose--bring him on!
It's been wonderful getting to know you during these Games, and I'm so looking forward to your story.
Btw, I was so pleased to see that you enjoy Lychee--I spent many happy hours translating her Snarrys--did you read them or the French. That's her, in my icon.
