What a fantastic comic - you have an incredible talent.
Your comic reinforces how little respect I have for much of the staff at Hogwarts. "Maybe you will learn to bear defeat with a little dignity, hm?" How horrible can you get? If James hadn't snagged Severus he probably would have died. And there's Black blaming Severus until the very end. After being tormented for Black's entertainment day in and day out - who could condemn Severus for attempting to get them expelled? The Hogwarts staff were obviously no help in the matter. Then again, even attempted murder couldn't sway them. What a painful shock that must have been for Severus.
But it seems very true to life. That's probably why so many children who are bullied seek escape through suicide. Not Severus, though.
Her effort to be "fair" to all the students reminds me of how the UN attempted to be "fair" to the Serbs and Bonsian Muslims during the seige of Sarajevo - the Serbs were committing genocide, the Bonsians were being slaughtered, and UN stood back and watched it all happen - referring to the Serbian leaders as great men of peace and condemning the Bosnians for dragging the war on. Sorry, for sounding so strident, but I'm reading about Sarajevo right now and it's a subject dear to my heart - along with Severus. Thanks for the brilliant comic.
