In the message vote: Snape 13 votes, Draco 9 votes; In the survey vote: Snape: 17 votes, Draco 20 votes; Total: Snape: 30 votes, Draco 29 votes, so the male lead is Severus Snape (as of the time of this chapter).

Actually, I decided to make Snape the male lead from the beginning, but as "Lan Wanning" said, if Catherine chooses Snape, it will be very difficult, not only because of the age of both parties, but also because of the opposition of the people around her, especially Harry and Sirius. So I've been hesitant to choose Snape to launch this survey. Although it seems that the reasons for opposition are more sufficient, seeing these reasons for opposition, I am even more determined to make Snape the male lead, because I decided from Catherine's point of view.

Catherine was in a struggle for power before coming to Hogwarts, and it wasn't until Snape's arrival that she jumped out of it. Auctioning off all the property of the Price family, on the one hand, announced that she had severed her relationship with the Price family, and on the other hand, she hoped that she would not get into a similar dispute again. According to the steps I set, Catherine would be the patriarch of House Potter in the fourth year, and Draco would begin to accept the Malfoy family's business, and as a Slytherin, they would not be relentless for the sake of their respective families. So, if Catherine did pick Draco, they wouldn't be in a fight, and you wouldn't want to see that.

So I think Catherine needs someone she can trust completely, someone who can make her dependable, who can protect her, who can support her, and who I can't think of any other person than Snape. And among these points, the first point is the most difficult, the experience before coming to Hogwarts, Catherine will not trust others so easily, she will keep everything she does, like using the Loyalty Charm to keep Tracey's affairs secret, except for Snape.

Well, in fact, this is what I decided to make Snape the male protagonist in the first place, and I think the difficulties mentioned by "Lan Yunning" are still easy to solve, and the real difficulty is their identity, Voldemort is Catherine's enemy, Catherine has Voldemort's soul fragment on her body, and Snape is a double agent, so ...... (Hee-hee!) Imagine for yourself! ）
