This is funny. I wonder what happened to Lockhart. Oh well, he got what he deserved.

okay, I just read the other reviews and had to add: yes, the "magical me" song is Priceless! & Mrs. Skower's, the bubbles, the clever dialogue, Snape's contempt for Filch and Lockhart, mischevous pixie planting, and solemn Mark contemplation.
So great! ;D

Oh, yay. What glorious fun! Great piece, I love it! ;D
I've seen other "Snape in a towel" challenge pieces, and, while I guess he wasn't actually IN the towel here, at least it was nearby.
Awesome! Very well-done!

Excellent. The tone of this was spot on - many make the mistake of writing *funny* Snape in humorous situations, but he does need to be written straight, as you have.
Lockhart's characterisation was also immaculate. My favourite quote was:
“I…I…” Lockhart floundered for a bit, then quickly pasted a broad smile on his face, showing all his teeth. “I say! Not much for modesty there, are you Sev – Se- Professor Snape.”
Snape kept his scowl perfectly intact as he replied. “I’m sure you recognize the symptoms.”
Over all, a subtly and cleverly-written fic. Thanks.

Very funny! Snape becomes almost likeable. I love Lockhart's obnoxiousness, and Snape's blatant disgust. The descriptions of the scalding shower were wonderful. very funny, cute, silly! I loved it.

Damn you, Jedi – it’s a OVER A WEEK since I read and reviewed your story, and I still think of it EVERY TIME I take a shower. Is that ever going to stop again?

(It does put a grin on my face every morning, though, so maybe I shouldn’t complain.)

Oh my gosh. Snape in the shower. Now why does that idea make me blush? :o

*Jolie collapses in fits of uncontrollable giggling*

Ah, honestly, I laughed so much, thanks for this utterly hilarious little gem, Jedi! :)

Lockhart is wonderfully hateful in this, very in character, and Snape is wonderfully annoyed, which is of course very in character, too. I love the way the story goes from light to serious to light again. And you do a great job of writing from Snape’s POV. Snape is such a challenge to write, but you’re nailing him, really. In that way, there’s much more to this story than half an hour of harmless entertainment. Your Snape is totally the Snape I love. And did I really say that? :D

Excuse me while I go away and continue giggling for a while longer.

That was fantastic, it made me giggle. And the line Snape makes about any dazzled ladies being benefitted by their proximity to the hospital wing - that was a <i>very</i> Snape thing to say. Great characterisation! And lovely descriptions, very imaginative - the bubbles were a nice touch =D
