My chapter reviews feel inane compared to the masterful way in which you weave your chapters. But it still feels like the least I can do to show my gratitude. I loved the perspective of Snape and Harry that you showed through Petunias’s eyes. Harry handled the revelations remarkably well, and the cops bringing Harry home contrasted the two worlds they live in well.
...and it just keeps getting better.
Love how you're weaving canon into such a credible alternative version.
Poor guy. What a way to find out! At least he came to the right conclusion instead of jumping to the wrong one.

"If a basilisk, a bee, a dragon, two dementors, and a psychotic ministry hag couldn't off Potter, the Dark Lord didn't stand a chance." I wanted to read the entire story up to this point before I reviewed. This is my favorite line in the entire story!!! You have me so hooked. I believe in my heart that Harry wants Severus to adopt him. He is receiving everything a young teen needs at this point in his life. Rules, guidance, and, yes, even love (Sev just doesn't realize it yet). Thank you for a great story, I look forward to your updates.

One of the reasons I really like this story is the way that it is told. In the opening paragraphs, you let us see Snape and Harry through Petunia's eyes in a very unique way. I really enjoyed reading that part. You said so much in a very short time. Another great chapter of keeping both of those guys in character. I'm glad Harry realized Snape was playing his part and was mature enough to now realize Snape's POV of the adoption and why Harry should think it over. Loved the "hug" that Snape gave Harry when he was brought back...if it wasn't mingled with a threat, it wouldn't be Snape! :) Another great chapter. Thanks for updating!

Well, the cat is out of the bag, and it went rather well, in my opinion! Seems like Harry can't help but get into trouble, one way or another... The cops, honestly! lol
The restaurant scene was great, especially since it was from Petunia's point of view. It showed her proof of how wrong she was (even though she refused to acknowledge it).
Harry is so confused, poor kid. All those thoughts and feelings he got when Bellatrix and Narcissa showed up, that is the kinda thing that Snape had wanted him to think about.
The scene at lunch from Petunia's POV was cute. Harry has a lot better manners than Dudley. :D
I think my favorite scene was when the cops brought Harry home. Harry was just so miserable, and Snape was obviously irritated, but you could still tell he cared. Aww.
I'm enjoying your story very much! :D

Oh Harry, you never learn do you.
Snape is too funny--threatening to ground Harry until he's twenty-seven. He was obviously trying to cover up for his concern.
I love their relationship. You've kept them so in character; I love it!
Poor Harry. Too many shocks in one day. :( Poor kid.
I can't wait for the next chapter.
Harry learned some very heavy things while eavesdropping and it will take him a long time to absorb it all. He will probably feel numb for a time, before it will all really hit him. I hope that he will talk to Severus and soon.
