Date: 2007-01-11 06:45 pm (UTC)I'm new to the HP verse (as in, I haven't even read the books yet) but I found Petunia totally recognisable in your piece even from the brief snatches of her in the movie; and if someone had told me that what you wrote was actually canon and / or detailed in the books, I would have found it far more plausible and poignant than no explanation for her awfulness at all.
Some beautiful moments of darkness in there, pretty much all of which have already been quoted, so I'll add my heartfelt praises for those and also for that last sentence.
I'd be interested to see what you do with Molly Weasley, who strikes me as a real fist-of-steel within wooly handknitted mitten type, well capable of taking down Voldemort with a well-placed rolling pin should the need arise.
All best wishes to you! xxx Tiger
