I think you may have misused a semi-colon at the end, as I don't think that to be an independent sentence.

I liked the way you compared freedom to snowflakes, as I hadn't thought of it that way before. Harry, as a young child, would probably make that connection... the snowflakes are free to go as they place, and they /are/ beautiful... Yeah,definitely seems likely :D

[He managed to catch several snowflakes on his tongue; he moved closer, and further away from the house.] I think "as" would work better than a semi-colon. Those two parts don't really relate to one another, which is what gets me. Maybe re-wording the sentence around the semi-colon, or just removing it entirely...?

All in all, it seemed perfectly in-character. Was Harry shoveling the snow from the driveway? I don't see the Dursleys allowing him outside of the house unless for chores, so maybe add in an extra detail? Plus, he could get sick, and nobody wants the Freak to infect sweet Dudders with some sort of vile illness, right? xD

I think you need a few commas, here and there, but I'm probably just wrong. The sentences seemed really long without them, though...

All in all, I enjoyed reading this short drabble/ficlet. Good job, and I will probably like to read more in the future on the Review Tag xD

Awwwww ... pre-book!Harry is one aspect of Harry that I find to be extremely un-done. Under-done. Whatever.

This was pretty short - I always feel a little like I'm cheating on review tag when I click on drabbles or freeverses, because the shorter the fic, usually the less meaningful, and the shorter the fic, the shorter the review, which in turn usually makes the review less meaningful and helpful.

I didn't find this meaningless at all. You captured Harry's innocence and Uncle Vernon's dislike for him perfectly in this fic. I loved your description of snow:

[He managed to catch several snowflakes on his tongue; he moved closer, and further away from the house. He smiled as snow fell ontop of his head.]

That was really sweet and fluffy :D

It made me kind of sigh at the end, when Uncle Vernon came along and ruined Harry's otherwise blissful experience. I thought that was a nice touch.

There were quite a few spelling, grammar and punctuation mistakes in it, though. For example:

[The innocent eight year old boy put his tongue out to try to catch a snowflake.]

This should be "The innocent eight-year-old boy", like with the dashes.

[He managed to catch several snowflakes on his tongue; he moved closer, and further away from the house. He smiled as snow fell ontop of his head.]

I'm pretty sure "ontop" should be separated. (And towards what, exactly, was he moving closer? "Moving closer to snow" somehow seems a little odd to me. Maybe you could say that he slowly moved away from the house as he tried to catch more snowflakes in his tongue.)

[Harry jumped with fright and glanced towards the house in fear to see his uncle glaring at him with his beady eyes.]

There should be a comma between the words "fear" and "to".

[Harry looked one last time at the snow-filling world...]

I think that should be "snow-filled", or "the world that was filling with snow".

[He sighed wishfully as his uncle grabbed ahold of him to take him inside; closing the door behind them as he did so.]

For the word "wishfully", I think you meant "wistfully", but I'm not sure. "Wishfully" sounds pretty out-of-place to me, while "wistfully" would work perfectly fine. Also, "ahold" should be separated.

The semicolon should be replaced by a comma in that sentence, too.

But those are just nitpick - I liked this very much! It's very original and refreshing to see Harry in a different time than he's usually portrayed. Good job, and keep writing!

This was really short (Obviously); Though I liked it a lot; it kind of has a hint to the neglect Harry served when he was there as he was wondering away from the house. The summary is also really cute and outlines how Harry is not really free; he is stuck in the Dursley's house with their neglect and chores and hatred for something he can't even control. Keep writing! Uni

Aww, poor Harry D: The Dursleys make me so mad sometimes, seriously. How dare they treat him like that :U

I spotted a few errors:

["Boy!" A booming voice shouted.] - "A" should be "a."

[to see his uncle staring at him with his beady eyes glaring at him.] - "Staring at him" and "glaring at him" are kind of redundant. I would change or omit one.

I agree with the reviewer who said that the last sentence was a bit heavy. I would suggest splitting it up into two or three sentences.

This was cute, though! Keep up the good work!

The beginning is really cute but then Vernon arrive and ruin it. How sad :(
Anyway I liked it even if I find this to be a bit short.
Also the last sentence seems (well I think so) to be a bit heavy. I read it like two or three times before really understanding it. But maybe that's just me... ;)

Aww, this was rather adorably sad. I loved the sense of innocence in the beginning, where Harry is catching the snowflakes on his tongue, and how that's just smashed apart in the last line. Poor Harry :'(
However, I do think that this was a little too short for it to fully express the scene, you know what I mean? I would have liked it better if there was more description of the scene and more details about the beautiful, happy, snow-filled world. I think if there had been a little more about that, it would have made it all the more tragic when Uncle Vernon came in and ruined it.

I liked this. I thought the innocent image of Harry playing in the snow at the beginning was really sweet and it seems like there weren't many moments like that in his childhood. I thought Uncle Vernon interrupting and ripping him from his dream world was effective, too - I liked the divide between the two halves. This was well written too, in general, although you could maybe vary your sentences a little, throw in a short one here and there maybe for some contrast. But lovely work :)

Poor Harry! The Dursleys ruin everything for Harry. I really enjoyed this little drabble Snarky. It's a nice change when somebody writes about Harry before we were introduced to him. I might have to write a few of these myself because I really enjoyed it. Great work!

This was short but sweet!:)
I, too, love it when it snows and tried to catch snowflakes with my tongue. Therefore I think you wrote Harry's childlike innocent feelings in this situation very well!
The disruption by Uncle Vernon was also very well written because it justknocked into this peaceful situation like a hammer and pulled Harry back to his sad reality with the Dursleys! Great work!
