    I didn't know that you had this fic on Potions & Snitches! I like the format here better than FFN.

    I do think that you need a bit of a beta, as you do have minor spelling errors. I know what you mean, but a reader whose first language is not English might get a bit confused. Or you can try going over your chapters word by word backwards. I find it's amazing how I will see errors that I missed (in my own fics) that way.

    Anyway, maybe Severus should have insisted that Harry be allowed in the next room when Dumbledore has a three hour meeting. I'm sure if Harry is told to stay in a room and be quiet he would.

    I'm with Dumbles on not letting anyone know that Harry is Severus's biological son. I'm sure that enough people see Severus as "that Death Eater" so too much of a connection with Snape... well I'm thinking it might be detrimental to Harry later when Voldemort comes back.

    I'm wondering if there will be Dementors around Hogwarts this time. At least Harry can cast a Patronus already.

    I'm soo looking forward to see Sirius seeing Harry in Snivellous' arms. But there is also a part of me that knows if Sirius knows that Harry was abused, and is now very attached to Snivellous, Sirius would not try to take Harry from Snape. Sirius does love his godson. If anything, he might feel guilty that he didn't break out and steal Harry away from the Dursleys.

    (I've always wanted to see Harry mad at Sirius for going after Peter so recklessly. Harry could have used a wizard to scare his relatives into treatly him fairly. Where did it help Harry for Sirius to have been locked up for so long?)

    Will there be Aurors at Hogwarts? I would bet that some Aurors (like Moody) probably don't trust Snape any further than they could throw him, and believe that Snape should be in Azkaban. I'm wondering if Harry would bond even more towards Snape if he evesdrops on some Auror(s) bad-mouthing Snape. You know, Snape was bad, Harry has been told he's bad, therefore he belongs with Snape because they're both bad.

    Does that make sense?

    I'm also wondering if Harry will adopt a big black stray dog? LOL!

    Keep writing!

    Hi Bugeyedmonster,

    Thanks for the review!

    I do think that you need a bit of a beta, as you do have minor spelling errors.

    Really?  I couldn't find a single typo in chapter 16.

    I've always wanted to see Harry mad at Sirius for going after Peter so recklessly.

    Me, too.  All that ill-considered action did was make it so no one was available to take care of Harry except the Dursleys, which was no good for Harry at all.  Of course, if Sirius was available, there's no saying Dumbles would have let him have Harry anyway.  Having him at the Dursleys was good for Dumbles, if not good for Harry.  My personal feeling is that, In JKRs tale, Dumbles did everything he could, not to prepare Harry to defend himself, but to make sure Harry wouldn't.  Dumbles needed a perfect pawn, someone who literally had nothing to live for, someone who would willingly allow himself to be sacrificed for the "greater good," as, of course, in the end, dying by Voldie's wand was the only way Harry himself could defeat the dark lord.

    As for Aurors and such, you'll just have to see. . . . :-)

    what a great story this is turning out to be, but in your fic is black really dangerous or not?, if the chapters are as good as all of them have been, i don't mind waiting some time between each chapter.

    WHAT?! You ended it there? *Crumples*

    I wonder if you'll have Sirius be innocent in this version -- either way, that would be a tough one. Severus most definitely would not like to share Harry with him in any way. I'm burning with curiosity at what the favor will be. Lol, I hope you update this soon, I honestly cannot wait :D

    Interesting. Given some of the information I've seen, most people believe Dumbledore was aware of the switch in secret keepers, and he would be aware of Black's lack of guilt, at least with the regards to the secret keeper issue. I'm curious if this was a built in part of the story, or not.

    Author's Response: Hi kittykat, . . . I've only seen the idea that Dumbles knew about the switch of Secret Keeper in fanon, not canon.  As far as I can tell, Sirius said they (he, James and Peter) told no one else of the switch, not even Remus, which is why he thought Sirius was guilty, as well.  Regardless, in my story, Dumbles did not know of the switch.  Thanks for the review!

    So Sirius escaped early. I'd like to see how you explain that. Then again, everything else in the story is speeded up. Harry doesn't seem to be getting better. I don't know how Sirius is going to help. Nor can I possibly imagine how Harry's run-ins with the Dementors could possibly be anything but disasterous!!! But it is a well written chapter, as always.

    Author's Response: Hi Harriverse . . . thanks for the review!  How/why Sirius escaped early will be explained in the next few chapters.  As for Harry getting better . . . you have to remember that it's only been a bit more than a month since he was rescued from the Dursleys.  He's had a lot of changes to deal with in that short time, and he has a lot of issues to deal with, the possibility of abandonment merely being one of them.  Thanks again . . . --jharad17
