Reviews for Two Sides Against the Middle

I have always wondered: if Voldemort knew about Severus' feelings for Lily, wouldn't that have given him a reason not to trust Severus? (I shouldn't ponder such questions at 11pm.) Night night.

Author's Response: I think it gives him MORE reason to trust Severus, because he all but promises to give Lily to Severus. It's the only reason he would give Lily the choice that saved Harry's life. At least in the pre-canon storyline. Voldemort tells us in DH that he thought he had smoothed it over, right before he killed himself with his own curse. Not a real clear thinker, that one. Of course my Severus doesn't want his family killed, which is pretty strong motivation. Thanks for the reviews!

It seems that Dumbledore already suspects that little Harry is now a Horcrux. Emily's musings as she cared for Harry were really poignant and made me quite sad. It was lovely to see more of what probably happened that night.

Author's Response: Maybe it's something JKR screwed up and didn't think through, but Dumbledore tells us in HBP that horcruxes didn't occur to him until the diary was destroyed, 12 years after the fateful night. Yet Dumbledore knew all along that Voldemort wasn't gone. I think he thought for many years that Harry was the ONLY horcrux. Meanwhile, it's a bit fanciful to think that Lily would want Emily to deliver her baby, but it adds something and it gives me something to use at the very end, too. Thanks for the review!

Does Dumbledore know what was asked of Emily? I think I need to go back and reread some chapters. What was the significance of the pain, was it something more than Braxton-Hicks contractions? Those can really hurt, but I notice you didn't explain the pain as a pre-labor contraction. So is ist tied to Voldemort? Great chapter, sorry for the annoying questions.

Author's Response: Dumbledore doesn't know yet (although maybe he suspects) what was asked of Emily. He's known Severus for 11 years by now though, including Occlumency lessons, and probably understands what Emily might fear about her husband's feelings for Lily. He also knows from talking to Severus that the Tedious One was going to try to save Lily because he thought Severus wanted her. Good eye on the other thing! I don't think I can say anything else about it. Well, I will say that it's not a BH contraction (I agree they can hurt). Thank you so much for the review!
