Poor Harry. I expect, however, that Severus has prepared a special room for him. Beautifully written and very sweet
You're doing a wonderful job capturing the way a small child really feels about things: the quick change of feelings, the vastness of spaces, the impatience with being small. The need to SEE a room, not just be told about it, the need to express feelings, these you have done very well!
I love this story! Once finding it I happily read it all in one go.
Your idea is very good and original, I’ve never read a story quite like it. Though I’ve read a couple creature!fics before, this one holds a certain appeal to it and really holds my interest. Though I usually find mind talking redundant, with this story it really works. The Egyptian mythology is really interesting, and that you’ve created different types of sphinx is original as well. The background knowledge that you give us is great, the enemy, for example, sounds like a logical choice, though I hope it will not interfere with Harry and Remus’s friendship. I like how you’ve included him and Harry’s friends in this story, they are some of my favorite characters.
I enjoy your writing style, you word things so well that I can picture everything from Harry’s transformation, to the building, to each of the new characters. I really like Neffy, she’s a sweet girl, but I have my suspicions about that Percy-like guy. I enjoy the humor, the length of your chapters, and the way you capture Harry’s emotions and thoughts, makes it quite fun to read. The bond that has formed between Severus and Harry is very deep, I truly love the interaction between them, both human and panther. It’s interesting the way you mixed in Severus being considered a half-blood to also include this, I always thought that his animagus form would be a panther, and the fact that he is partially a sphinx and able to transform into one is really something.
PLEASE. Please post your next chapter soon. The ceremony is a really cool idea and it’s wonderful Harry will have a parent now. I’m curious about what will take place, and how Harry will take re-living his childhood, along with how Hogwarts, his friends, and the rest of the wizarding world will take the news.

What's going to happen once Harry gets back to Hogwarts, how can a 'boy' - and he is one now not just in body so it seems- complete his seventh year in this state? What will his friends think when they see him and how will Harry the child- react to their reactions? Moreover how the hell are his friends and the rest of the school including the teachers going to react to the fact that Harry is attached to Snape like a barnacle to a rock? that he is his ward and well come on you can see where this is going,(Harry's going to be child for sometime)his son. I wonder if the wizarding world will recognise his rights as a 'man' once he turns seventeen? or if they'll just see the 'boy' and demand that he be taken into care? or worse still back to the Dursley's! I like the bond between the two, its subtly done, and better still not disgustingly over the top, Harry doesn't know why he care's about Snape so much and is probably a little in denial. Snape well he's Snape, he's probably just as confused, although their feeling's towards one another are indubitable. One thing that i can't figure out is how Harry is a sphinx? Doesn't one of your parent's have to be one? Very confused on this issue, could you clarify? Can't imagine James or Lily being sphinx's, and Snape's an amigagus (Sorry about the spelling). Oh well. Please update soon. Your stories are really good.

love this story can't wati for new chapters.
This was really cleverly done! Very unusual idea - me and my friend have just read the whole thing in one go! The manor is really fantastically put together. It was a bit weird to have Snape totally nice from the very start, it was a bit unrealistic, but you did explain it really well so that it all fitted together very well.
good chapter, harry seems to be getting used to his new situation

And exciting, and happy, and scarey! Harry gets a second childhood--just when he was finishing his first!
