When will we see Harry's perspective?Not for a while, I'm afraid. Harry simply knows too much -- giving him a perspective would be like giving Snape or Dumbledore a perspective in the actual books. It would strip away the mystery, which would in turn make the story a lot less fun to write (and, perhaps, to read

I'm looking forward to see others' perspective, especially Slughorn. I think there's much more of his character than what Rowling told us.
And I totally agree with your choice about Harry, it'd give away too much. Plus you're doing a great job with Snape. It's fascinating to see things (and this Harry) from his sixteen years old point of view and I think your Severus is very IC.

Oh, I very much agree re: Slughorn. And did I forget to mention that Petunia will also have a role to play ? Another interesting personality who was perhaps not fully explored in the books.

Thank you for your absolutely lovely remark about Snape -- it is delightful to hear that you find him IC. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you should ever think differently!

Aww, really? *___*
Petunia is actually one of my favorite characters (I have this thing for the secondary ones...) and I love to read about her and her realationship with Harry. The books tells us little with those that are only brief glimpes of her life as Mrs.Dursley and even less is said of her childhood. We're showed just what we need to dislike her and identify her as a villain. I think that's only the tip of the iceberg of her personality.

It was deserved. There are few Snape centric stories as intense as yours.

I'm delighted that you're interested in Petunia. Like Snape and many other adult characters in the books, we only ever see Petunia from Harry's (and then Snape's) perspective. I think there must be many similarities between Petunia and her sister that often go ignored in favour of turning Petunia into a villain and Lily into a hero. Things are probably much more complex than that, and I can't wait to get to chapters with Petunia and Snape's father and the whole Spinner's End gang . . .
