Daddy Snape, Mentor, Adoptive Father, Severitus etc.

I admit it.  I have a weakness for Daddy Snape; especially if he’s Daddy Snape to little Harry.  It’s just so cute.  Some authors are pretty good at writing them as father – son.  On the other hand, some authors make me wonder if they’ve ever seen a child, let alone been around one.  When I write kids, I write with my inner child at the forefront of my mind; staring out at everything, wide eyed in wonder.

It seems to work–at least according to the reviewers of those stories.

Hmm, I may have to split this list via WIPs and Completes.  Geez.
