A/N: So. I realize that on this site posting just random author's notes is not allowed. But something has come to my attention that I believe we all need to understand (We being You, the reader).

I am a writer. Plain and simple. I love to hear from you all, and constructive criticism is welcome (such as mentioning I forgot to spell green with a 'N' ). However, I think you all need to understand something about the nature of fanfiction and real novels.

Firstly, none of us know J.K. Rowling (at least I've not had the privilege of knowing her) and as such none of us are privy to her private thoughts on the Harry Potter collection. So. You the reader do not KNOW for absolute certain that Dumbledore ordered Severus to kill him, none of us KNOW his exact loyalties, yes some of us have our suspicions that he was ordered to kill Dumbledore by Dumbledore himself, but until J.K.R comes out and says it to us it cannot be assumed.

This leads me to my second point. I've found that is a wonderful website that allows readers from all over to express their take on stories and shows. As writers we can expand on certain aspects of the story that we feel were left out (such as Hermione's lack of gumption when it comes to separating herself from the boys).

Now. This is all an interpretation. I read the books and I notice that McGonagall hasn't said "Now listen here you three! Severus Snape is an evil man and not to be trusted" and according to my interpretation I imagine that while we cannot hear her thoughts (and she may very well not like Severus) that she is not against him. Thus if I say that she had discouraged the notion that Snape was evil, I have the right to say so as it is My interpretation. So I would appreciate it when my story is read that everyone keep in mind that I AM mixing in my interpretation with real facts from the book.

I realize that some of you might take this the wrong way and become angry with me for putting this all so bluntly. I am not speaking to everyone, most of my readers are very cordial and I am always pleased to hear from them about spelling errors, plots they suspect, etc. This is the high point of writing for a web-based audience. If you get offended I am sorry, however I felt that this needed to be said. As much as I love you all, I am a writer. I write mostly for myself, not for my imaginary audience. I know people often read stories that challenge their perceptions of the original novel, or that they don't understand in the sense that they are biased toward certain characters. I understand this, I simply ask that you do not criticize me, the writer, about what characters have said, what they do, or what my interpretations of the collection are.

Thank you very much for reading my story, and for reviewing. I will continue this story immediately, and I hope that everyone else can put their personal bias aside and continue to enjoy my work with me.
