I started to laugh and I ended up crying. :'(

Well done! Although TBH I was kind of hoping for a non-canon ending, because as it is it's really a downer, and makes the use of Seuss come out as black humor. Still though, neat idea.

I absolutely love this! Really brilliant, good job. It's my favorite take on Snape's worst memory, all the rhymes were great.

Very Clever! Bravo!

Oh, no, that's not so.

It was James hated Snape

Because James wanted Lily;

That Quidditch-mad ape

Had been trying and trying

And here's where he won.

It had taken five years

But at last it was done.

First he pounced on poor Snapey

Right out of the blue,

With his doggy best friend

And the rest of his crew,

Before Snape had even seen

That they were there.

No wonder the Slytherin

Had nary a prayer.

And the bully who hexed Snape

Because he existed

Won the day and the girl.

My, this tale's *oh, so* twisted.

Poor Snape was left mourning

The rest of his life.

But James fared much worse;

He got Lily as wife -

She might have been pretty,

She might have been clever,

But she was the least caring,

Worst "best" friend ever.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. You are very gifted at rhyming-I myself cannot manage it at all... A beautiful rendition of Snape's Worst Memory, this is. A wonderful view of Snape's emotions, and an interesting context. I like that you change it slightly by having Lily draw her wand immediately rather than wait until after they've hexed him twice more. I also like how it's a rather backwards version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas-instead of the heart of the Grinch growing multiple sizes and becoming a friendlier, happier person, Snape's heart is completely broken and by the end of this story he becomes much more like the Grinch at the beginning of the Grinch's story. 'Tis fascinating, powerful, beautiful, and comical-in-a-tragic-way-very well done. I love it! Keep it up, and happy writing!
