Review:
A Harry Potter Christmas Carol, with Snape filling the role of Scrooge (natch).

This fic follows the Christmas Carol plot line a bit closer than I would have liked, but overall it is quite charming. The ghosts are cleverly chosen, the relationship with Harry and Snape is quite touching, and the secondary characters were all in character and enjoyable (though it's clear that this was written sometime before book 7 and possibly book 6). A great choice for a Christmas read.

I just found this and wanted to thank you for the rec! You're right -- I actually wrote this story a year or so after OotP was released, in that tortuously long time between 5 & 6. And admittedly, I'm a HUGE fan of "A Christmas Carol" so it had to follow the plot line for me. I'm thrilled that despite that, you liked it enough to recommend to others. Thank you!
