A difficulty in writing Snarry featuring mature!Harry
The problem is, most readers are asking us to write older!Harry, but at the same time they want Harry and Snape to hate each other.
Well... You know I'm not impartial - I'm a Snapefan and I totally believe Snape wants to be redeemed... The fact is, I find the hate Harry feels for Snape (and probably the hate Snape feels for Harry) annoyingly immature. I can't write a mature person who still hates another that way.
That's why my own Harry, in the beginning of Schola Obscura, annoys me. If you agree with me, I have good news: he will improve, from third chapter on. But the problem remains. How to write a believable mature!Harry who still hates Snape???
