    A wonderful start to the story, I wonder what caused the explosion that lit a beacon for the werewolves.

    I love it! Oh, is Snape an animagus? Does he get all protective of Harry? DO NOT tell me! Sorry, not trying to be rude; I'm just guessing. Love the story, my dear. P

    Please udpate when you can. I look forward to more chapters.

    Byesies for now,
    Lady Julie Snape.

    Hi! I realized I've read a lot of this fic and never reviewed it, despite it being on my favorites list. Well - time to remedy that. I've decided to start again from the beginning, since it's been awhile. You know, YLNO inspired me to write my first piece of HP fanfiction, too! ;)

    I like Harry's personality so far - he's very canon. And you portray the Dursleys' neglect without going overboard; so many people can't seem to resist playing that for melodrama.

    The scene of escape was particularly well-written.

    Snape's attitude is puzzling.  For some reason, he seems to think that Harry does not want a relationship.  While it could be based in part on Harry's request that Snape not tell anyone about some of the events that Harry finds embarrassing, it seems as though there has to be more.  I am wondering if it has anything to do with the card and the flowers.  Harry never read the card and he left it and the flowers in the infirmary when he checked out.  He assumed that the flowers and the cards were from his friends...but...maybe not. The story keeps getting better.

    I am amazed that this is your first fanfic. It's incredibly well written; you've got the characterization down really well and you're able to keep the pacing at the appropriate level. I've found that that's one of the toughest parts about writing fanfic. I look forward to reading more of your great work.

    The plot is good so far, but your spelling is atrocious. You need to have a beta reader go over it, or at least re-read what you write. For that, I give you a rating of six. Your errors make the story look like you didn't put much effort into it (despite the fact that you probably did put a lot of effort into it). I gave you the sixth point because you seem to know the difference between 'your' and 'you're.' Keep writing. :)

    Haha a chocolate cupcake. XD How cute! :) This was an awesome chapter and an awesome story! Wow. I have never seen a better scene with the Dursley's and the way it was set up that Harry went back into the cupboard. Very, very good job. Clever to use the Monster Book of Monsters; I thought for sure that i was a snake and was quite surprised. Having it show up in the middle of Petunia's party was inspired. I'm glad that the Dursley's weren't physically abusive but acted more canon and just shut Harry away. I loved, loved the way Hagrid picked Harry up after he got out of his cupboard and then all the motions to be quiet. Great job!

    There were some things that could be worked on though: some scenes were just a little blank. Maybe there needed to be more descriptions? For example, when Harry was thinking that there were robbers, I lost sense of Harry's surroundings and it felt a little unclear as to what the house was like. in this passage I felt that you needed a better description because I pictured Snape standing one way, and then the second sentence moved it completely around: "His force was so strong that Harry fell backwards. Before he could fall to the ground Snape caught him and righted the boy."

    I wonder about Harry's thirst. You can't go three days without water so you'll die but Harry doesn't seem thirsty. I'll just pretend that Snape had him drink water when he was unconcious, which is why he wasn't thirsty and Snape wanted him to eat; you can't really get someone unconcious to eat and chew and swallow you might be able to get them to drink.

    You also had a lot of typos and duplicated passages. I'll show you some examples:

    He the door was jerked open and swiftly Harry had his wand in hand (Then?)

    Harry was ready, or somewhat ready, if I have to I can leap out, hopefully catching them off balance. And then I can run away, and hide till morning. But the plan seemed feeble at best and he wasn't even sure he could get his legs to work.

    As the brooms lifted from the ground Harry could see privet drive below him. (Privet Drive)

    But Snape gave it back, Snape, where's Snape. (Snape?)

    But of course the werewolves, Harry thought to sarcastically respond. But instead he said, "Sir, what werewolves?"
