    Somehow I missed this chapter. Ooh, I really love a cheeky Harry! But to make that comment about the Imperious Curse and a stripper. While extremely funny, Harry is taking his life in his hands!

    I'm looking forward to the next chapter. I really like that this is an original take on the whole mentor thing. Harry is not just sitting around taking the Snape's abuse, he's fighting back. Nice work.

    Author's Response: Yeah, Harry's a fighter. LOL. It's gonna cause him some problems, though...

    Dumbledore’s meeeaan! Lol, sorry that was just my Severus-sympathy kicking in. I do understand, after all, why he’s pushing Severus. He wants him to actually try, not just say he is and then have issues with Harry throughout it all.

    Anyways, I'm so glad Harry’s still friends with Ron! I love the Weasleys, and often when Harry is re-sorted in fanfics he unfortunately loses his friendship with Ron. I hope all of Harry's friends can continue to get along (though I‘m sure issues will arise), so far they’re trying and that's a good sign :) I wonder about Hermione and how she’ll fit in though…?

    Author's Response: Yeah I sorta like making Sev miserable, sorry...Don't worry, things get better. rnrnI also like Ron and his family. I don't buy that Ron would be so disloyal to a friend just because he made friends with Snape/Malfoy or got sorted into Slytherin. I have reasons for needing Fred and George on Harry's side, too. Don't worry, Hermione'll get in there - in Canon, the four aren't really friends until Halloween, after all.

    Oops, sorry about BSODs, the term actually dates back to Win 3.1 and 1991 sharp.)) But my point still stands - noone would widely toss it around till 1995, least of all Harry.

    Author's Response: Thanks for your comments! You're the first person to give me concretes to fix. I'll get to those in the next couple of days. (The once I decide to change - I'm undecided about some because I don't think the specific dates matter too much to the story.) Beevus and Butthead I'll definitely change, though. Could you suggest an alternative? The computer thing is another point. I think Harry'd know about tv shows, just from hanging around others his age, but just because I was familiar with early windows doesn't mean Harry'd be familiar enough to joke about BSODs. Finally, any suggestions for how to make Harry sound younger? I figure he's grown up fast, given his environment, (and he acts a little older than 11 in canon, too, in my opinion) but I do want to make him at least a little childish. I'm just not good at writing kids, I guess.

    This is not a bad fic at all, and I'm always excited to see Harry sorted and interacting with his year Slytherins, you do it nicely, so.. just my $0.02:

    - Beavis & Butthead, besides being a strongly american phenomenon, wasn't being aired until 1993.
    - BSOD didn't come into existence until Windows 95NT, thus 1995.
    - We know that Harry's first year in Hogwards was 1991.
    - How in seven hells is Harry knowing all that, neither watching TV, nor having a PC of his own? I doubt primary schools had those either.
    - Harry just sounds too teen for being 11 years old, sorry(

    Author's Response: Thanks for this. I followed many of your suggestions. :-)

    I'm hooked!!! You put the forshadowing in there and started things off fast anf furious. Too bad Harry's a hard nut to crack and things have to get worse before they can get better. I'm surprised to see a relatively intelligent Headmaster. But if he is so 'with it', how come he left Harry there to be abused so badly??? Most people follow canon and have Harry so isolated that he is generally clueless about people and the world in general. From the conversations, thoughts, vocabulary, and coping skills and strategies--your Harry is anything BUT.

    Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm so flattered! Don't worry, Dumbledore's actions will be explained in a couple of chapters.

    Good job here, I like how you presented Severus and Harry, and the other Slytherins and how Sev stressed that they were to treat each other respectfully.

    The only thing I noticed is that you need to go back up to the conversation between Snape and Dumbledore and paragraph the conversation, you should have a new paragraph for each speaker.

    Author's Response: Thanks! I'll try to do the pararaphing better in the future, and maybe fix Snape and Dumbledore when I fix other errors.

    Ooh I like the idea, I love a defiant Harry and this one looks like he could drive Snape mad! im sure Snape will be punishing him soon if he checks out all those things forbidden! : )

    Author's Response: Oh yes. I don't think Harry'll be an easy nut to crack. Should be fun. Thanks for the review! :-)
