    Great chapter. Love how the chapter ended. I also liked how it is now Uncle Severus also. I also felt odd how quickly in some stories the father is replaced and the Potter name replaced with Snape. It seems that dieing for your child means nothing and yeah let us get a new father and name. Great story.

    Author's Response:

    Yeah, I don't mind an adoption story every now and again, but I really feel like people mostly don't think about or don't understand a parent's love for their child.  It really hurts a parent knowing their child calls somebody else mom or dad, even if it's a step parent.  And I do understand the need for parents, and especially with Harry who has no parents, but I really wanted this different portrayal here in this story.  For me it's funny how as I move through life I gain new perspectives on things.  And being a parent now and having a step child who we don't get to see who has found new parents is hard so I have this whole new perspective on it now.

    Thanks for your review!

    Excellent chapter. That was quite painful--the hurt you portrayed in our Harry. Although I love Mitzi's "My Harry"!

    Looking forward to your next update.

    This story is so adorable! Thank you for updating.

    I love the developing relationship between Snape and Potter. I would like to see Snape tutoring Potter some more, maybe in defence? maybe in potions?

    I would also like to see the rest of teh 1st year events and how they may have been different with Potter more trusting of Snape - however you want to play that! - and I wonder if Snape will find out that Quirrel's gaze hurts Harry's scar and make the connection?

    One thing I would NOT like to see is Harry and Draco making friends, so many fanfics have that, it is really overdone, it's usually not believable (with a few exceptions like AYLNO) and in this fic Draco works so well as a mean antagonist making fun of Harry's stutter. I WOULD like to see Snape having to deal with conflicting loyalties/obligations over Draco and Harry's antagonism.

    Really enjoy this fic, thanks for writing it and sharing!

    Great chapter, when will Snape decide Harry belongs with him, the part about Harry being sad for leaving Wendron was upsetting, I want harry there permanently! Please.

    Author's Response: I have things laid out up to the end of this story and some planned for the sequel.  In this story you will not see Harry in Wendron again.  But fear not, there will be good Harry/Severus interaction.

    If you are going to have romance in this please don't have Harry/Ginny xx

    Author's Response: Romance wasn't on the agenda.  Harry is only eleven.  Those teenage hormones start rearing their heads about this time, but I don't like to do the romance between eleven year old when I write.  And he's only met Ginny the one time at the train station.

    Cool! When I first started reading this, I didn't like the stutter, but now I have warmeed up to it. Keep up the good work!
    PS: Looking forward to Snape's reaction to the truth about Harry's home life!

    Good chapter. harry is one happy little boy, hope it remains that way.

    I always enjoy scenarios where there is misunderstanding between harry and snape - whether it be snape thinks harry is the culprit of a misdeed or harry not understanding something snape says
