    I loved your characterization of a house elf, although I think the name isn't weird enough :D

    Anyway I find that in fanfics when people write in house elves they have a very difficult time getting the language down. They either make it very scrambled so it doesn't make sense, or more often they write it too much like normal human speech. You got it spot on in my opinion. So I much enjoyed this chapter as it was so well written.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you! I worked really hard at making sure Hana spoke in a way that was true to what she was while also being easy to read. I'm glad I was able to succeed! In regards to her name... I was mostly just trying to avoid the Blinky, Winky, Dobby, name-ending-in-y thing. It just didn't make sense that they should /all/ be so similar. And also, if you consider some of the other elf names, "Hana" actually is weird by comparison! :P

     Thanks again for the feedback!

    Wow, I'm surprised at how kind or perhaps respectful they are being of each other. I really thought they would rip each other's throats out. And Severus came to the abusive relatives conclusion pretty fast but on such sound logic, I'm amazed you could get so far into his character so quickly. Thank you for this chapter, can't wait to see what else is coming.

    I'm glad that Severus is beginning to see that he's been wrong about the way Harry's relatives treat him. Hana is a very sweet and cute addition to the story, and it seems that things are going pretty well with Harry's moving in with Severus. Good descriptions of Severus' quarters, too.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you. ^^ Hana was lots of fun to write. Also, I had Severus' quarters all mapped out, so it was easy to describe. Wish I'd come up for this floor plan for my other fic, though, as I really like it.

    Ta, again,

    How did you find that name I wonder....

    Author's Response:

    Which name? Hana I just made up because I thought it sounded simple and sweet as I wished the elf herself to be. There's so many names of elves that end in y or some similar: Dobby, Winky, and I've seen a lot of fic writers also use the same pattern - not that there's anything wrong with that. I just wanted it to be a little different. *shrug*

    If one were to look it up, though, one would find that Hana is Japanese for 'flower, blossom'. Seeing as I am addicted to Asian drama shows, it is very well possible there was influence from that sector. Hadn't really thought about it.

    I don't even find Snape's comments amusing any more. In fact, I feel like bawling my eyes out. First, Harry's dying and then you have to go and pile abusive Dursleys and nightmares on top of that. Why oh why? You'd better have a happy ending prepared, or I'll be miserable for the rest of the day. :(

    That said, I'm really enjoying Snape's act of doing-this-because-Dumbledore-told-me-to. Heh. Keep telling yourself that, Snape. :)

    Very interesting chapter; I think it won't be long before Severus prys the truth from Harry, another couple of nightmares, give or take.

    I guess that Snape is beginning to suspect that Harry's homelife is not what he thought.

    I love that little elf; she's too cute.

    I'm glad though, that Snape is taking good care of Harry. I hope that in time, he'll grow to care for him.

    Great story! I'm enjoying it very much. I just hope that Harry doesn't die.

    Author's Response: ^^ You've no idea how much fun I had writing Hana. Glad you like her!

    Awww, that was such an adorable statement at the end! I love Hana the House Elf. This chapter was just too precious with the House Elf and her observations. I love your characterization of Harry. Very well done. Snape is seeming more three dimensional too, because of the House Elf. Hehhee, I loved hearing that he was polite, and that both Snape and Harry were considered strange. :)

    Author's Response: I loved the idea of Snape more or less having a house elf that was nothing like him. I've even got a whole backstory for her, but, alas, it didn't fit into the scope of the story. Glad you like her - she was SO much fun to write. ^^
