Re: Brilliant job!
Wow! I'm stunned at the length of what you had to say!
Rodolphus was picked up off stage. The last we see of him, he's run from the pub. Then the next night Ron tells Harry that they picked him up outside Hogsmeade, probably since they had Aurors in the woods. I didn't get into it because it's really not important.
I'm glad that you liked the characters, as it was in some ways very easy and yet kind of difficult to make Harry into a professional killer. Snape I've never had an issue with, and I think you may be right about the difficulty there. I've always had more probelms with Harry than Snape.
I'm glad that the fic was still enjoyable without having seem the films. I tried to make sure that nothing was reliant on that prior knowedge. I stole the plot. And some dialogue. Woot.
