    I really like how the other adults in this story don't really understand Severus' affinity for the child and aren't really willing to go the extra mile for Harry. I suppose they're probably a bit afraid of him because they don't understand him. It's still sad though.

    This was my favorite line: "Then again, he thought with a smirk, most of the dunderheads he taught didn’t understand what he was saying to them. At least Harry had an excuse not to."--Lol, good one!

    Very interesting. I especially like that Severus had to think to make the connection about the word "bad" and will now come to figure out what words Harry knows, based on what he's heard from the Muggles.

    I do have to criticize a few things that Harry has done in this chapter though. I am personally surprised that Harry would know that the ball was a toy. It is my assumption that Harry has not left his cage and it became obvious that Dudley didn't know about Harry, so how would Harry know what the ball was if he had never seen anyone play with one?

    This same question goes for him drinking out of the vile--has Harry drank out of a cup before, or has Petunia given him water in a bowl like an animal? Would he know what to do with it if it was in a vile?

    Do you see what I mean? I'm not trying to be mean or rude with this review, but I just think that more thought needs to go into some of these scenarios (and maybe it does in further chapters, I'll have to see). But I mean, if Harry's never been out of his cage, would he really know how to walk? Would his legs be strong enough to hold him up? I just really think these things need to be taken into consideration.

    On the plus side, I do like how patient Sev is being with Harry and how he's using every trick in his teaching book to try and get Harry to do what he needs him to do. I think there is some hope for him yet.

    I sincerely hope Dumbledore didn't know about this ahead of time--that's just obscene, if he did and didn't do anything about it. I really like that Snape has chosen to take Harry under his wing and care for him. Having been an abused child himself, I think he really would like to see this child make some sort of recovery and will hopefully have the patience to do so.

    My one criticism is that I don't think Severus was shocked enough when he saw Harry for the first time. Something like this is not an everyday case of abuse and I think Sev would have been a lot more shocked than you portrayed him.

    Other than that, I like where this is going. It's a very good read.

    -P.G.

    OMG! I think this story is really going to creep me out, but I'm going to keep reading anyway because I need to know what's going to happen. Very good start!

    Poor Harry! I want to cuddle him! You've done a very good job at presenting both Harry and Sev as believable characters! I can't wait to see what happens next!

    Wow, Harry can be a handful! It was sad that he was so scared of the house elves, but Sev did the right thing and disciplined the child in a good way.

    I hope he heals his arm quick though--there's nothing so bad as far as infection goes as a human bite.
