Review for The Return of the Boy Who Lived

The Return of the Boy Who Lived

It’s interesting that the school has a form of punishment review. Not only is the first time I’ve seen it, but it makes sense as well, especially with such biased instructors.

The confrontation between Neville and Snape was interesting, but I don’t think Snape is one to let this die. He's the type to hold a grudge and he'll look for any excuse to make Neville's (and by extent, his friends) life miserable.

Also, the way Dumbledore ordered Neville to stop requesting reviews tells me that he, too, won't let this die. His authority has been challenged, and challenged by an 11 year-old (albeit an adult in an 11 year-old's body). And I think Dumbledore would have chip on his shoulder to say the least. Normally, I'd say Dumbledore would've laughed it off, but the way he phrased his order gives the impression, at least to me, that he won't take this issue lightly.

This could create some interesting problems for Neville in the future.

All I can say is; keep reading GRIN All of your questions will be answered.

One thing I want to address, Albus was mainly concerned about making extra work for his staff and himself, when he tried to lean on Neville. As you will see in future chapters, he's a lot more relaxed about it now.

Thanks for your feedback
