It was exactly who I thought it was going to be

Yes. I thought it was probably going to be Sirius.

I think I'm not going to write Snape Manor now. I'm stunned. The description of Sirius' house is so much like what I had in mind for Snape Manor. She had infestations, I had more magical objects. She had screaming portraits of old relatives, I had relatives appearing in reflections - but it's so close to Snape Manor, and the feel of it, that I was totally discouraged as I read those scenes.

On the other hand, the description of the Ministry is exactly what I needed for 'Beg Me For It.' Glad I haven't written 'SNAFU' yet.

Well, two weeks ago I was convinced it was probably going to be Sirius. I thought, if I were her, who would I kill? But this past week I've waffled.

The reason I wanted to do Snape Manor is that it was such an unusual idea, not directly covered in Canon. Now I feel like it's been done. There's a lot more to the Snape Manor story than the Manor itself, but my idea - I thought - was quite original. Takes a lot of the fun out of it for me.
