    I find this whole concept really bizarre, you seem to have completely negated the whole characterisation of Severus Snape and replaced it with your own projected version, you've eradicated the sarcastic, snarling, self-doubting, malicious and foul tempered potions master and replaced him with some continental family loving wizard. You've completely ignored most of the books. You even changed his name!!!I'm just a bit confused. When you put together Dumbledore and his Transfiguration teacher I could see it but then when you put Pomprey and Mad-eye it seemed that every thing that you were doing was just out of convenience for your plot, it's so unrealistic and surreal that it confounded me. I not sure what to think. Really. I like the story though ironically. I just don't think it can be called fan fiction. I hate giving negative reviews and this isn't one, -not much anyway- i think you have talent- the story flows- i liked how 'Snape' calls 'Harry' his little raven, and the interaction between 'Malfoy' and 'Harry', (Although i'm not sure i could ever see Malfoy getting his son dressed himself, or allowing him to wear a costume- it just seems to rub against the whole noble aristocratic air that they would ever do something so plebian.)
    I hope you continue to write. The story has potential.

    Author's Response: Thank you for the majority of your review and I do understand the other comments that you have made. I am aware that I have made large changes in the characterisation of Snape but if I do manage to continue this into Harry's first year then we will see the return of the sarcastic and snarling Severus Snape that we all love! Poppy and Mad-Eye aren't actually together - I apologise for any confusion. She's just giving a present from the both of them as Mad-Eye is too busy being the paranoid Head of the Auror department and is completely disassociated from children. I completely accept your decision but I do feel that my story can be called fanfiction however, if everybody agreed with one another then the world would be a very boring place! Thank you for the compliments and the comments, I really do appreciate them all.

    Aww I love it! You've done so well introducing new characters! The entire extended family has grabbed my attention instead of just Harry and Sev. Nice job! Though I'm still unclear as to if Lucius and Severus have an actual family relation

    Author's Response: Thank you very much. I'm glad that you like the all of the new characters that I've created - I was a bit worried as to how well they would be accepted. Yes, Lucius and Severus are related but it is very distant. I will see what I can do about getting a copy of the family tree on the internet to help clarify things.

    what a great chapter, alexes potions set sounds good and i hope severus and him spend many happy hours brewing potions and albus spelling banners all over the place and the chat lucius had with severus was a eye opener about spying against mouldywarts, still not sure whether i believe that or not, but we shall see

    Author's Response: Thank you very much, I'm so glad that you liked it.

    I really love this story. I have been reading on fanfiction net. I have one question - when Harry was adopted and his appearance changed, did the scar go away?

    Author's Response: Thank you - I'm really glad that you like it. Yes, when Harry took the Paternitas potion the scar disappeared. Don't ask me how (I haven't quite figured that bit out!)

    Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, Lily and James will be making an appearance very soon and then they will be permanent fixtures for a while at least....haven't quite decided how long they're going to be around for!

    This story is just excellent. I can't wait till the first meeting between the Snapes and the Potters...

    Is sirius going to be a snotty git? and what of Remus? What was the potter's reasoning for getting rid of harry in the first place and is their selfish narcissist attitudes going to become public knowledge?
    Can't wait foryour next update.

    Author's Response: Thank you! The first meeting between the Snapes and the Potters will be very soon....I promise! Erm, I'm not going to answer that about Sirius and Remus in case I give the plot away. The Potter's got rid of Harry because they believed firstly that it was his twin Marcus who defeated Voldemort and secondly, and probably more importantly, Lily and James heard Harry using parsletongue. Rather than have the Potter line "tainted" with dark magick they dumped Harry on the Dursley's so they were left with their supposedly perfect family. As for if their attitudes are going to be made public.....haven't quite decided that yet!

    My first potions set? Oh hahaha, Snape certainly didn't waste any time in getting Harry (or Alex) acquainted with his #1 passion eh? I greatly enjoyed reading this one and strongly urge you to continue it as soon as possible. I hope the Potters never try to take him back once they realise he is the real vanquisher of Voldemort. I like the idea that Lucius was not really a bad death eater but is actually another spy for Dumbledore too.

    Author's Response: Well, if you were Snape and you had a child wouldn't you start them on potions young? Besides, talent for potions runs in Severus' family and Alex is at the age where his father is literally as good as a god....anything his daddy does, he wants to do as well. Plus it means that he gets to spend more time with Severus. I'm genuinely pleased that you're enjoying this. I can't really comment on the Potter's as that will give a hefty chunk of plot away but I'm glad you liked the concept of Lucius being another spy for Dumbledore.
