I think I like it because canon!Harry is just so blind and refuses to think of him as anything other than an evil villain and it pisses me off so much...to see him get some character development and maturity in fic makes me breathe easier, y'know? Learning to recognize the good points about Snape as they're reluctantly forced to work together, it's the kind of thing I wanted to see in canon and find soothing in fic.

Seriously. The Harry in The Best Revenge, I love him SO much. He's the kid with all the potential that went unfilled in the books, it's ridiculous how awesome he is.

But the thing is, it's severely AU, Snape is the one that rescues Harry from the Dursleys, so there's none of this mutual loathing and antagonism that you like, so if that's what you're looking for, I'm sorry. But it's very worthwhile reading anyway! The quartet are my favorite thing, and the way she handles Draco's muggle/muggleborn prejudice is AMAZING.
