    Oh, this was LOVELY! Nice use of the backstory, the letters and the memories. I also liked that Harry took the chance to go to Snape in the first place, very Slytherin of him.

    I'll have to check out more of your work. This was grand!

    Author's Response: Thank you! :)  I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    This was great! I truly wish that you would write a longer novel - the continuation of what all happened in the aftermath of this, and the building of their relationship.
    The one part that still bothers me is the same that bothers Harry - Dumbledore seems a bit off, and I question his placement as Harry's guardian/master to whom Harry is apprenticed. After all, once he knew the Dursleys had abused Harry, how could he even think to object to Snape telling him that Harry would not be allowed to return there? What 'there' should there be to return to, as they should be in jail and the young cousin and his gang, in separate juvenile jails, for the evil actions they had done! - How could Dumbledore even consider returning Harry there?! Aaarrrg! I am very glad that you had Harry safely ensconsed with his father and new 'family' - that was an interesting bonding of Ron & Hermions as his siblings! There is so very much here - an incredibly rich combination of plotlines that fit very well together, and you have their characters so well described, as well as realistic dialogue - simply excellent work!

    Author's Response:

    Unfortunately, I'm already writing one.  As of today, my Severus-adopts-Harry story stands at 65,009 words, and will probably hit 100,000 before I'm finished. 

    One of the things that needs to be considered with Dumbledore is his age.  Child abuse has only been recognized for the past thirty years or so, and Dumbledore is 150+ years old.  It's not that he doesn't care, it's just that he has the engrained attitude that child abuse is rare and can't happen to people he knows.  When he was growing up, it was considered 'just dicipline' and acceptable.  It was a hidden, dirty little secret in families.  We're all products of our upbringing, and Dumbledore is no different.

    So many FF authors disregard the importance of the trio, both as a unit, and to Harry.  I wanted to recognize that for once.  Harry needs Ron and Hermione, just as much as they need him.  

     Thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

    That was one of the most touching stories that I've read. Excellent work, and it was done in a believable way. Even the made up magic seemed to fit in with JKR's universe.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  Most of the canon spells are Latin or Latinite, so I've tried to continue the trend.

    Gorgeous! I love this story. I'd like to find out if Harry does decide to take Dumbledore's offer, and if the castle does rearrange itself. I liked how you got Severus to be Harry's dad. There wasn't any part that I didn't like

    Author's Response: Like I said, I might be persuaded to do a few one shots eventually...

    Song

    Author's Response: It is, as it stands, complete.  I may do a few other one shots later on, though.  I'm glad you enjoyed it!

    Whoo!! What a delightful one-shot! I loved the memories, my eyes got all misty. The part when Harry went to tell Snape about his home-life, that there was a secret that Snape was the one to go to, was a great scene! Great expression of the idea too! I'm only annoyed by the fact that this seems like it could be a multi-chaptered fic! :P So mean. But perhaps you'll chat with me over what you think would happen if it were a multi-chaptered fic, and I could be content with that. :D

    Author's Response: Thank you!  I really did consider making it multi-chapter, but I have my hands full at the moment with two other long-term projects.  If we went that far, we'd have the Dursleys's arrest, including the arrests of Dudley and his gang.  (I'd make it very, very public, too!)  We'd also see Harry's formal apprenticeship, more Trio bits, and Severus and Harry learning to be a family.  Later on, I might do it as a series of one shots, maybe?
