I wonder what conclusion Harry will come to about his questions? I know that he feels guilty in a way about finding the thought of having a living parent attractive, but really who can blame him? There is nothing wrong with that wish and I don't think Lily or James would blame him for it. I hope that Harry won't let the negative reactions of a few Gryffindors influence him unduly. If they can't accept the idea of him as Severus' son, instead of James' (no matter which is true), then they aren't really his friends at all. It isn't his job to make everyone else happy, after all.
Author's Response: I promise that we'll see it in the next chapter. I think this Harry won't think of it in those terms, concerning the other Gryffindors. I think he'll know that as long as he has Ron and Hermione, he'll be fine. I think Harry's more concerned with what to do with Snape once he finds out the truth. Snape definitely is rather insistent that he can't be Harry's father. You're definitely right. It should never be Harry's job to make others happy. Thanks for the review. :)
