    Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked Dumbledore's emotional moment - I like him very much as a character, and I'm glad I managed to show that he isn't indifferent to Harry's suffering. Thank you for reviewing!

    I've finally had time to catch up with your story. I must say I did give myself a few brownie points for guessing correctly, but I am glad you didn't confirm or deny - I'd rather be surprised. I just like to share my thoughts. You can congratulate yourself for all that foreshadowing you did!

    I am finding Petunia and Vernon so compelling in your story. It's a horrible mix of despising them and feeling sorry for them. I am really feeling Petunia's conflict between fear of Harry and an instinctive desire to not let a child be injured. I am half reminded of Carole Burnette in Annie, when the kidnapping plot goes to far for her loose code of ethics and she turns on her co-conspiritors. I like their complexity, I enjoy feeling conflicted about how I feel about a character and it makes them three dimensional. They are often characters that are portrayed as having only one side, so it makes a compelling change.

    It's an exciting and fresh take on the Slytherin Harry concept. I can't wait for the next part.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you! Yes, I was really surprised when you guessed correctly about the exorcism (and it was very tempting to give spoilers just then, but I'm glad I resisted!)

    Thank you so much for the feedback on Vernon and Petunia. The Dursleys are great fun when they're written with a slightly ironic undertone, like in the books, and I found it very challenging to make their fears and prejudices "real" and understandable. I'm so glad you think it worked!

    Thank you very much for the feedback, I hope you'll continue to enjoy the story!

    Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, Harry hasn't had much of a childhood - until now, that is. The next chapter will be up soon!

    I really appreciated the chapter note in the beginning. Thank you very much for that. ^^ Anywho~ This chapter was really tough to read but also enjoyable because now all the pieces are slowly coming together; it was amazingly written and I honestly can't wait for the next chapter! I felt so bad for Harry, I was shaking. You definitely made the priest very easy to hate! Haha. I want a swing or fifty at him around so bad. >:|

    Author's Response: I'll hold him for you (the priest, I mean)! I'm glad you liked the chapter, and you're very welcome about the chapter note; I'm glad I didn't come across as discriminating, because that really wasn't my intention. Thank you very much for reviewing!

    wow! that was powerfully written... I feel a little ill, but in the good (sort of) way that you get when you read a well written piece of fiction!

    you should feel very proud of this piece. I cant wait for the next part, I want to know what happens next.

    I don't THINK I have ever rated a story 10 before, (I could be wrong but I don't remember it), there is a first time for everything!

    Author's Response: Wow, thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter so much, and I'm very flattered that my story's the first to get a 10 rating from you! Hope you continue to enjoy it!

    Congratulations on another well executed chapter - I have enjoyed reading your work immensely thus far. In particular I would like to extol your decision to take up the interaction between magic and Christianity. This is a subject that has largely been ignored by fanfiction writers as well as by JK Rowling, most likely due to the heated emotional response such an undertaking will elicit. Regardless of the proverbial toes this chapter may step on, the exorcism fits perfectly into the body of your story. Brava.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you very much! Yes, magic and Christianity is a loaded subject, and I'll admit I was a bit nervous about the reactions I'd get - I'm glad you think it worked! I find it fascinating how many people these days are still afraid of magic, to the point where they'll burn books - or undergo exorcisms. I did some research for this chapter, and I must say I was shocked to find how common such rituals still are today.

    Anyway, I'm glad you're enjoying my story, thank you for sharing your thoughts!
