"You should know that being good at chess doesn't make you a brilliant leader or strategist. Chess pieces have fixed rules and limitations - real battle strategies are infinitely more complex than any chess game, and in actual battle the rules can change from one second to the next."
-Serious bonus points for pointing that (why can't most people seem to grasp that simple concept is beyond me)
-I also liked how you pointed out that DD wasn't training Harry to fight, he was setting the boy up to kill himself (assisted suicide via Voldemort)
-On a similar note, DD's sanctioned training with Snape wasn't to protect Harry's mind, it was to batter down his mental defenses so that Voldemort could get into Harry's head (hence why the visions kept getting worse after each "training session"). The fact that Snape got to torture Harry was just a bonus for that petty vile overgrown bully.

Thank you for reading and reviewing,
It’s gratifying when I see so many people with like opinions. How does that old (but true) saying go?
“Great minds. . .”
It’s also fun watching this one time one-shot growing into the monster bunny with no tail in sight. . .
N!
