Not surprisingly, I have never made a post that has drawn as many comments as the last two I did on "Justice for Severus Snape" and "Fanfic after DH." I think that the "Justice for Snape" one has been linked widely, and I just can't keep up with responding to the comments, to be honest. So, if you commented and I didn't answer (normally, I do try to answer almost every comment), please forgive me. We live in extraordinary times, this month.

But the many of comments have been brilliant, cutting, funny, and insightful. It's been a treat to read the threads that have developed.

But one of the best was a discussion that spun off of a comment by cmwinters, who raised an issue that had troubled me, as well. It concerns Snape, of course, as all the best discussions do.
