そもそも I don't feel like the broken-up paragraph structure in dialogue sections are all that awkward or uncommon. Just me?

こんなんとかしょっちゅうある気がするんだけど、なんか違うのかな？

Quirrell ignored him. He was still talking to himself.
“What does this mirror do? How does it work? Help me, Master!”
And to Harry’s horror, a voice answered, and the voice seemed to come from Quirrell himself.
“Use the boy … Use the boy …”
Quirrell rounded on Harry.
“Yes — Potter — come here.”

I have this question for the native japanese here, also I written the question in japanese for practicing, so if you see any mistakes, don't hesitate in telling me, please.
入れ墨がある外国人を見れば、気持ちはどう？怖くなるの？好奇心を感じるの？それとも、全然気にしないの？
夏に日本に行くので、僕の入れ墨を隠さなきゃいけないかどうかわからない。

ありがとうございます！
(i'm not entirely sure if i'm using それとも in the right way though)
ところで、温泉のことをもう知ってるよ

「見れば」→「見ると」or「見たら」
「気持ちはどう？」→「どう思う？」(思う works like a think/feel hybrid here)
あとはOKです :)

why would 見れば be wrong?
you live in japan right? If you don't mind answering the question as well ^^

The difference between -れば, -ると, and -たら is actually quite hairy. Not explainable in a sentence or two. You should check out the stackexchange for that, e.g. japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/25565/…

「入れ墨がある ＝ こわい人、悪い人」じゃないことはわかってるけど、全然こわくないとか気にしないと言ったらウソになるかな。少しはこわい。
I'd say most younger people (like < 40) are not overtly scared of or dislike people with tattoos, but will at least feel a tinge of something (fear, curiosity, disapprovement, or whatever).
So, we're understanding, esp. to foreigners, but not desensitized.
Also be careful when going into gyms (even the global chains), because you'll need to cover them.

そっか、あなたの本当思いを教えてくれてありがとう
Yes, I guess it's expected right, but maybe since i'm going just as a tourist it might be not as bad as it would be if I lived in Japan (like having problems with neighborhood and such)
I am most worried for towns like Kyoto and Hiroshima (I will go to both), cause they feel more traditional, therefore maybe less acceptable to such things
I think I just need to accept the fact that is not a part of the culture and just try to be the most understanding I can with the situations I end up facing^
I forgot to nominalize 思い
