FicWad

Such a very nice story so far.

I do like your portrayals so for, you've done a lot of work to give each of them three dimensions rather than just the one or two of most stories. I especially like the self-serving side of Snape that you are hinting at. He seems to have a goal that goes far beyond either Voldie or Dumbledore but what is it?

I also like your characterization of Susan and making more of being a Hufflepuff than just the duffers. I look forward to reading more of this.

On possible snag I saw was when Harry and DD were arguing, I think the Headmaster would be cooler than that, especially given how he let Harry run rampant in his office. Wouldn't he be more likely to close down Harry's arguements with a single well chosen line rather than alternating diatribes? At least that is my opinion. And I was also surprised that harry let the line pass where DD says that Harry is not pursuing a course to become the man he wishes to be. Who is Dd to tell Harry what type of man he wishes to be? As I said I'm surprised he let that pass.

Anyways, good work so far and I look forward to an update.

Author\'s Response: Dumbles, well its after midnight your pushing 160 years old and suddenly your secret weapon portkeys into battle with the most powerful dark wizard of recent history with no backup. He is a bit perturbed. Perhaps he should have a lemon drop. The next 7 chapters will be up by the weekend. If you are dying to read them now go to fanfiction.net. My author name is the same there.Jim
