    I thought they were going to meet with Godric as well. I'm rather sad that they didn't; I'm sure Harry would have loved to meet him. I think this chapter would be better if you expanded upon the meeting with Slytherin. I mean, the interact between him, Harry, and Snape is what we as readers have been waiting for and it was so brief. I am glad that you portrayed Slytherin as a caring person though and not rude and mean.

    I loved the way Salazar helped Harry and explained why he felt that Muggleborns should not be admitted to the school. It was horrible the way that poor little girl died. I nearly cried. I am glad you showed how all the Founders were like a family. I also liked how you showed Salazar not as a cruel man, but a kind and concerned one.

    I'm also happy to see that Severus has changed his mind about Harry now that he had also seen Harry's life through dreams.

    Can't wait to see Severus go after Umbridge and tell Dumbledore what's been happening.

    Hmm, a different take on things. I wonder why most of the descendents we know of are such horrible people. Marvolo, Morphin and Tom. I suppose Merope was OK but then, she lacked the vital ingredient...testosterone. And I also suppose that there could have been other good ones through the ages.

    And so, the descendents of Slytherin and Gryffindor from the present have buried the hatchet. Will it last? can they actually become friends? I so wish that had happened in canon. *sigh*

    Cool parallels here: one, more of a stretch but I'll mention it-that where in Chamber of Secrets, an innocent girl was killed many years ago, indirectly due to Salazar. And in that story, Hogwarts almost closed, where here Salazar left the school.

    The other aspect it makes me think of is Dumbledore, a man who's sister was killed when she accidentally showed muggles her magic. And Dumbledore too, turned against muggles because of it before boomeranging back to his conscious. Just two neat connections I noticed (not sure if you had too). Kudos!

    Well, it's happened. I finally found a Salazar Syltherin I could like. And now that our boys are back home, Snape's reactions to Harry's abuse both at home and at school were perfect. Immediately using the abuse against Umbridge is what should have happened in canon, I'm glad you did it here.

    Author's Response: Oh, I'm glad you liked Salazar, Kim!  He was by far the most difficult character in the story to write.  I think he doesn't come across well in canon, what with the basilisk and being so adamant against the Muggle-borns.  I really had to think about how I wanted to portray him and what his motivations could be, so that he might be a more understandable and likeable character.  I decided to simply ignore the whole basilisk issue, or pretend that there was some valid reason for it being there.  As for the attitude towards Muggles and Muggle-borns, if you think about what the world was like a thousand years, it may be a little more understandable.

    Ooh, I love this story!!

    Go Snape! Give that toad woman hell!

    I love this new Snape. Still snarky but with a hint of compassion. Still strong, but with a hint of tenderness. Not too overdone, just perfect Kristeh. Like this story.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  Oh, yes, I think Severus would absolutely relish a chance to go after Umbridge.  I'm so happy you like them.  You know, I would have really loved to have lots of mush here, but it was just too soon in the relationship so I made myself hold back, lol!
