  1. Hi Nathaniel!

    First of all, when I saw that you used Harry Potter as inspiration I thought "Thank god" because I always love a good Potter reference. Secondly, LOVE how you kept Harry's parents alive all thanks for Snape, that is surely an unusual twist for this story to follow. Using the Three Wise Men as inspiration for this story is something I would not have thought of, however I think it would have made for a great story if there were two others offering gifts with Snape like Lupin and Serious too. Regardless, I really enjoyed your use of Snape because a ton of people do not know that he is one of the best underrated character (they all assume he really is bad). Nice job!

  2. Hi Nathaniel!

    I think it’s very clever that you paralleled Harry Potter’s story with the birth of Jesus! The stories are definitely very similar, and I like that you told it in a style of writing similar to what we would see in the Bible.
    I wonder what would have happened to Snape in this version of the story. Would Lord Voldemort kill him for failing to betray the Potters, or would he manage to escape from the Death Eaters?
    I was confused about what this story was about until I got to the Author’s Note and then reread the whole thing. What if you included a title of some kind that would let readers know this was a parody of the Bible? Also, I think it would a bit easier to read and flow if you split the test into two or three paragraphs.
    Thank you for this entertaining story! Good work!
