    Yet another comment from me. I saw that you're considering the name Asphodel. I like it. It seems like something Snape would do, though I don't think I'd want my name to be associated with the afterlife.

    Author's Response: Asphodel Meadows? Hehe. I don't think I'd like it either, But I think Asphodel Eileen Snape has a certain ring to it! The question now is whether or not to make her inherit the Snape nose....

    I was reading your response to a review about the awkward age gap and wanted to mention that my brother and I are seven years apart. We got along great, though that may have been due to personality. My brother is very easy going. Harry's a bit more strong-willed and intense, so I could see him not getting along with the baby, thinking that it's stupid and smelly.

    Author's Response: my brother was the opposite, unfortunately. he was very upset when mummy and daddy brought a girl home from the hospital as he'd 'asked for a boy' lol.

    Is the baby a girl? I like the name Elizabeth. Or you could name her Heather if you want to go the plant and flower route. I also like Abigail, Alice, Katherine, Charlotte, Grace, Leigh, Lydia, and Martha.

    For a boy I like Nathaniel, James, John, Benjamin, Aiden, Alexander, Caleb, Isaac, Elijah, Gabriel, Jacob, Joseph, William, Luke, Paul, Ryan, Samuel, Seth, and Shawn.

    Names are a lot of fun. behindthename.com has a Random Name Generator that's a lot of fun to play with.

    Thanks for the update. I love the image of Snape and Harry cuddling. If you know how to draw or know someone who does, I think a picture would be great. Please update again soon!

    Author's Response: I like a lot of those names, especially Grace and Jacob. Though I've always been a sucker for the name Lily- obviously I couldn't use that one here. 

    I have cousins called Abigail and Alice. I've been liking traditional names over the past months- I think I'm getting a little bit broody, which is scary as I am in no way prepared for that eventuality! LOL.

    Glad you liked the chapter! thanks for reviewing :-)

    Oh, this was great. I keep forgetting that Lily is pregnant, but her response is very accurate. I can picture her laying down on the bed and trying to catch her breath. I loved the way Snape slapped the table to scare Harry and ensure that he had Harry's full attention.

    Please write so more. Given Harry's age, I wouldn't be surprised if he got jealous of the baby as soon as he was born. After all, Harry is used to having Lily and Snape give him all their attention and now they will both be focused on Baby Sapius (yeah, that's my suggestion for the name. I heard it in the Warcraft games, and I have no idea what it means). But I expect Harry will be acting out to get attention.

    That was fun!

    Author's Response: It's funny, I had to remind myself that she was pregnant. It's been a good excuse for her to not be around so much, but that's going to have to change now... And yes, I would imagine him being jealous- it's an awkward age gap, but he's going to have to adjust. I remember when I was a kid my parents always gave me and my brother a small present on the other's birthday to stop us feelng left out. Not that I think it worked! Maybe the baby will give Harry a gift... hmmm.

    I'm thinking of Asophodel. I wanted something suitably Snapey, but I'm considering Sapius for another purpose! Ooh.

    I loved your new story btw.

    Thanks for reading and reviewing :-)

    I haven't reviewed before but I wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying this story. I like the way you're writing Snape and I like your slant on Lily, too. Harry is precious as well. Your balance between fluff and action/suspense keeps me on my toes and hoping you'll post more soon! Yes? Mamaduck

    Author's Response: Ooh thank you for your review! I'll be updating vvvv soon, so keep a look out! :-)

    A new chapter! I could hug you. I loved this one. And I just think it's so interesting how you've written Lily. She's more realistic than any other Lily I've read. And you know...who's to say she'd be perfect? I felt a mixed sense of amusement and sympathy for Lily when she was feeling guilty over breaking a wooden spoon across Harry's behind. It's not like a thousand other mothers haven't experienced that before... lol.

    Loved the Charlie-rescue. And I also enjoy how you've written Harry. You've made him smart and sly, even though he's only seven.

    Keep up the great, original writing! I'm loving the story :) Can't wait for the next chapter.

    Author's Response: Hehe, i'm liking writing characters like Charlie and Lily because we've not really experienced much of their personalities. I'm hoping to include a little Percy soon, though I'm not sure. I'm so happy you like the characterisation of Lily, some people have complained about that, but as I see it, it's all about interpretation. 

    Thank you lots and lots for your review! :-)
