Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you liked it. Feel free to review on ff net too, if you like. (Yeah, I'm a reviews whore, what can I say?)
That scene suffers a bit from using bits and pieces from a couple of different versions of that confrontation, but I really wanted to work in Harry's standing up to Snape and protecting his aunt in spite of everything. As Snape said, he wouldn't have killed her, but I have no idea what he would have done if he hadn't been prevented.
The inoculations part was completely new, and so you unfortunately have two very similar events right in a row. It's repetitive, but as I said, I really wanted to keep both in there, for different reasons.
And you're right-- part of why he's so angry is because He Did It, Too. And Petunia has already called him on it. Why they both worked out their own issues on a little boy is part of what they're going to have to come to terms with now. But Petunia gives a hint of it when she says she tried to keep Harry out of that world-- that she really did want to keep him safe, in her own way. Considering how her sister died, it's not as unreasonable as JKR's always painted that anti magic bigotry.
Again, thanks for the feedback, and glad you enjoyed it. And no, I have not forgotten your box.
