*grins* Hey, I thought it was pretty deep. And it means that Sirius at least has a motive for acting the way he does towards Snape that has nothing really to do with Snape himself. Whereas James

In my mind I've always thought of Sirius as kind of ADHD. The whole not thinking of the consequences of his actions, and taking things to an extreme level.
I can see it in parts, but he does have his rationalness to him too. I mean, he did make it an entire summer in that house without ever stepping foot outside. He knows the danger, understands the importance of not being seen and the like. But I also think that the pressure of having no one to talk to, no way to get out...it had to have been horribly suffocating. Even more so since that house is the complete embodiment of all the things he probably didn't like about himself and his entire childhood. I mean, it had to have been really extreme if he went as far as to actually run away from home.
What they did to Snape in that memory really freaked me.Me too, for a lot of reasons. Snape's reaction was so much like what you'd expect from kids of the Columbine shooters ilk. He doesn't retaliate by humiliating James in return (which probably would have been much more effective since his

Oh, he definitely has the ability to be rational, but I think it detiorated as he became more and more depressed at being stuck in the hell house, and especially since he lost his sense of usefulness to the order.
I'm really curious as to what the actual history is between James and Snape
As I am. The implied level of hatred doesn't make sense to me without there being something else, and then the fact that we know that even though they loathed each other deeply James still saved him from Remus. *ponders*
I <3 you. I <3 that logic
Thanks I shall have to glomp you now. *glomps*
I'm kind of dreading what fandom is going to do with this memoryThe overflow of WretchedAbused!Snape will be sickening no doubt. Although I never though his life was all that great. You just don't have those sorts of issues without having some serious shit in your life

Good lord you're helping me work it all out. Thanks.
I am especially impressed that you've made me realize my thoughts on Sirius in general. He was definitely stunted in emotional growth by going to prison at 20. He's still all rebel (as very intelligently pointed out above) just like he was back then. He never got the chance to grow out of it. I very much think he was still aching to prove to everyone that he's a good guy, even though he was preaching to the choir. Ditto Harry and his constant blowing up at Ron and Hermione about blah, blah, blah.
I don't know what happened to my YM, but it's completely screwed me. I have been *Available* all damn day and actually sent a good half a dozen comments to you about my thoughts and opinions without responses. I believe all those are now lost.
What's more, the damn thing wasn't giving me email notification, so I just assumed no one was responding to anything either. Wonderful fuckin day to piss on me. And now in a fine bit of irony I am actually busy with stupid shit. GAH!
Again your thoughts are terribly insightful and I am jealous.

It would figure that today of all days you're being thwarted. *grumbles*
Thank you for thinking I'm insightful. Although it's probably just because I have nothing better to do than obsess over the details.
