I loved !

I always love how Snape is written as a head of the house of Slytherin who stand for them. He cares and supports them in his way.

amazing! very good point snape made :)

Another great piece and an eloquent conclusion. Merlin, I love your work. Do write more, won't you?

I really like what you wrote here. Just relistened to the 1 audiobook and googled "slytherins treated unfairly". Well done for staying at the top of the search results. You may have found a niche market here ;).

Thanks for writing this, and great point of view. I honestly never hate Dumbledore in the least bit but obviously, he can be extremely unfair at times. Especially with him announcing Gryffindor's win at the last minute, like he's trying to make Slytherin feel bad. Oh well, Slytherin is lucky to have Severus as the Head of House.

Loved it. By telling the story from Harry's POV JK Rowling gives the impression that Slytherins don't like Harry and Dumbledore because they are all Death Eater supporters and the Gryffindors aren't evil enough for them. But that is an extremely shallow and simplistic view - certainly not all Slytherins support Voldemort or even blood purity - and when you look at incidents like this, as well as when you consider things like the hiring of Hagrid as a teacher in a completely impartial light (which it would appear was done purely to please Harry and the Gryffindors, who are too blinded by personal feelings about Hagrid to care about his competence as a teacher) you start to realise that they may have had some pretty good points about Hogwarts having "gone to the dogs" under Dumbledore's tenure.
As Snape says in your fic, he was far too focussed on the long term and his own schemes, and barely acted like a Headmaster at all, and certainly not a good one. He may have been what Harry needed during his Hogwarts years, but what about the rest of the students?

;_; Loved this. But hated the situation... but well, that's nothing new alksdfj.

I just wanna hug Snape and the Slytherins, love this!

Thank you for resolving that so wonderfully. I am now pleased that those students, whose hard work was so arbitrarily dismissed, was recognized by someone.

God I love this story! I may have read it ten times and every single time I just...there isn't a word big enough to describe the complex of emotions that it makes me feel. Well, WELL done.

threw out the entire series i dont remember a single time that snape removed a point from his house i also dont remember him ever giving a point to any other house. i also remember in later years especially near the end of the year when he would remove points from other houses for ridiculous reasons(breathing loudly) or award points to his house the same(wearing the proper uniform).

now was this his retaliation for what happened in first year or was this was this a continuation of what he had always done anyway and dumbledors actions were just to prevent snape from stealing the cup for his house by padding his houses points at the end and penalizing the competition its hard to say since we dont have much info of previous years and slytherin already had a decent lead first year so he may just not have felt the need to or he may have done it that year also and i just dont remember it i know it happened just cant remember when

so what can we use to get a better idea of which it was. well one thing we know is that when it looked like slytherin was going to win the only house to cheer was slytherin but the other 3 all cheered after the headmasters stunt. so half the school was chearing not that they won but for the fact that slythern did not

now that could be for lots of reasons if slytherin won many years in a row then everyone may be happy they finally lost or was it that everyone else felt that snape was cheating to give his house the cup every year and they felt that finally slytherin has to deal with what snape does to the other houses every year it only the headmaster was just a tad less subtle about it then snape usually is by doing it at the last moment rather then over the last week or month or whatever he usually did just to name a few but there are meny more that i can think of

also look at the fact that snape felt that he was treated unfairly while he was a student there and so he lets slytherins get away with anything he can and justified it to by clamming that others got away with doing similar things to him cause he was a slytherin so now that he has power its slytherins turn to get some preferential treatment

so was it fair to steal the house cup from slytherin at the last minute it all depends on background information that was not there but the fact that half the school cheered not that they won but that slytherin did not win says to me that maybe it was fair and the rest of snapes actions says that at the very least he has no right to complain about anyone else being unfair

Awesome piece, just what I needed. I can picture this perfectly and agree 100%. Hogwarts was lucky to have a professor like Severus Snape.

I really love how mentor-like Professer Snape was in this oneshot. This just goes to prove however nasty of a teacher or person he can be, he genuinely cares for his house of students.

I really liked this look at what was happening behind the scenes. I agree completely that Dumbledore went about awarding those points the wrong way; and, sadly, probably wouldn't ever realise it. A nice look at what Snape was thinking and what he had to face as Head of the hated house. Thanks for writing.
