The scene with Lucius, Snape, and Draco was so...sweet, even though the undertones around it were so dark. And I loved James snarking about Dumbledore and the Dursleys'; he was a real hoot. I really liked the touches of reality in this, too; all the couples having different ideas of what the best Christmas should be. It added an 'every day' sort of perspective to what we all know will turn into tragedies. Very well done! :D
