K's feedback:

"This is a very interesting essay about how Snape may be viewed as a father figure in the Harry Potter series. Your discussion about his moral ambiguity is though-provoking, and you provide adequate support from the texts for your ideas. The ideas of the essay are well developed to effectively communicate your argument. To improve this essay, consider removing repetitious sentences/thoughts to tighten up the work (for example, you repeat ideas in the paragraph about Snape's patronus). There are also a lot of repetitive sentence structures in the paper (for example, the topic sentence of most paragraphs starts with an introductory phrase). This paper would benefit from a round of proofreading to tighten up remaining grammar and punctuation issues."
