I don't know much about handwriting analysis; my attempts at writing like characters are purely intuitive. I'd be really interested in anything you can tell me about the way I/they write. And please do scan your version of Peter's writing, I'd love to see it.

I like to write on unlined paper so that I can easily draw and write at the same time. If I do use lined paper, I ignore the lines; they're never the width I want.

I also wrote Snape's sample in my unlined sketchbook, thinking that he often doesn't write inside lines either, but rather in the margins, marking student work.

I actually went looking for a piece of lined paper for Peter's... He's self-conscious about the way his handwriting looks, and would want a sample to be as neat as possible. He doesn't trust himself to write in straight lines.
