    Happy holidays! Wonderful story. I wonder if Petunia ever got hers for what she had done? Where was Harry sorted and did he do well in potions? Great Christmas story. The perfect amount of sadness and happiness/joy!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you! I don't think Snape and Petunia met again, since she moved abroad with her family... lucky her! But I like to think that, from time to time, she remembers Harry and feels slightly guilty about what she has done.

    My guess would be that Harry was sorted into Ravenclaw and did very well in Potions, having lived with a Potions Master for ten years... I suppose Slughorn would be teaching Potions and would take an immediate liking to him because of Lily.

    I'm glad you liked the story, and I hope you had a very happy Christmas!

    Very enjoyable second part. Severus' reaction to learning that Petunia had sent a baby in the mail to his was exactly what I would have felt. Karma is going to bite her and her husband HARD someday.

    Albus is being Albus, nothing unexpected there. I like that Lupin is part of Harry's life and getting along with Severus.

    Great story, I hope to see more of your work.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you  very much! Yes, Petunia had better stay out of Snape's way, because he won't ever forgive or forget what she did to his adoptive son. I'm very fond of Lupin as a character, and I'm glad you liked his part in the story - Severus simply needs to get over his prejudices, then he'd see that Lupin could be a great friend to him.

    Thank you for reviewing!

    That was a great story. Just what I needed to make me feel better after my sister's puppy dying last night.

    Your Albus is as manipulative and idiotic as the one in the book. When I read that line where he says "Poor Petunia!" I wanted to spit! What a self-centered bitch, to do what she did and HE feels sorry for her?? What an idiot!

    Snape was right, she should be made to suffer for what she did to her own flesh and blood. Sadly, there really are people like her in the world, and abandoned babies who end up much like the Harry in your story.

    I'm so glad Sev rescued him and gave him the love of a family and a home and Harry gave him these things in return.

    I'd like to see another small story in this universe when and if you have time. Maybe one where Petunia and her family get hers. Or whatever.

    Wishing you a merry Christmas, if you celebrate it and a happy New Year!

    Author's Response:

    I'm very sorry to hear about your sister's puppy!

    Yes, Albus has a rather different outlook on things... sometimes very forgiving (perhaps overly so), and sometimes very harsh (I'm thinking of baby Voldemort in afterlife King's Cross...). Snape would definitely not share his views on Petunia, not after she had hurt his adoptive son.

    I might do another story in this universe - it's very tempting to share some glimpses at Snape's parenting adventures! Thank you very much for reviewing, and happy holidays to you, too!

    A Happy Holiday to you too!
    I loved the ending, not too sentimental but still very sweet. You did a wonderful job!

    Author's Response: I'm glad you liked the ending, even though Sev doesn't usually do sweet, lol! I hope you had a very happy holiday, thank you for reviewing!

    I can just see Severus getting his revenge when Harry goes to Hogwarts. This was a very good story.

    Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, Severus wouldn't forget about that kind of thing...

    "The End" kind of took me by surprise-- I'd thought there might be another chap or two! The stale fruitcake comparison was POWERFUL-- horrifyingly so, given the context. But the story does have a happy ending, and I especially like the fact that Harry seems fairly well adjusted and can accept the story of his arrival (at least as much as he knows for the time being), to the point that he laughs off the idea of his not being able to fit back in the box now. Also, I love the way Sev likens Harry's arrival to receiving a Christmas gift, so different from Petunia's attitude. Really well done!

    Author's Response:

    I know what you mean; I was thinking about adding a few more chapters about Harry settling in, but then I decided to keep it short-ish, and not turn it into a longer tale. I may do some one-shots in this universe, though!

    I'm glad you enjoyed the comparisons - thank you very much, and thank you for taking the time to review!
