Ahhh! I hope Snape finds out about his nightmares, :D
You never mentioned anything about sexual abuse, which I'm assuming the part about the bed and pain meant.
A lot of people are uncomfortable with that topic so it might have been best to mention it. I was reading this with my cousin but now she refuses to read, unfortunately.
Author's Response: Thank you for your review. Yes, I am aware that many people are uncomfortable with the topic, which is why any reference to it in my story has been and will continue to be entirely vague. I only intend to provide enough information to make readers aware that something happened in that regard, without providing any detail. Truth be told, I don't know the details myself, nor do I want to. The chapter I most recently posted (chapter 8) is the first that contains any obvious references, so I therefore provided readers with a warning. I do take your concerns very seriously, and I appreciate you taking the time to inform me of them. I apologize if I've made anyone uncomfortable.

Hi, thanks for a really great story/chapter! I'm hooked, there is a somewhat slightly sarcastic humor in your story, your Harry is intriguing, and quite different from the canon Harry, I assume he has lived on the streets for a long time, and that has imade him different, but overall, his personality. calcuative mind, pursuit of knowledge and great love for books and learing seems to me rather Slythering or Ravenclaw, I bet your Harry is not gonna be a Gryffindor, but that's fine with me. Generally, I find AU stories, where Harry's house differs from canon, the most interesting fanfics.
Author's Response: Thank you! I love your feedback.
Excellent story! I like your version of Harry very much. I really can't wait to see the things that come next in his life, such as his impression of Hogwarts and its denizens and whether his relationship with Snape will evolve into something more or less than tolerating each other.

This is an excellent story!!!!!!! I am definitely hooked. I want to find out all the details of how old Harry was when he left the Dursleys, how he survived, when he learned to control his magic to some extent, etc. etc. I am also very curious as to what Snape is thinking, but understand that in your prerogative as the author, that I may not find out. But excellent story.

An intriguing story so far. You've done well in sketching a picture of Harry's past, but not filling it in with so much detail that there's nothing more to look for and learn.
You've done an excellent job in keeping the POV all from Harry's perspective, which is something that very few first-time fanfic writers manage. Well done!
I look forward to the next installment, and I do hope to see at least a little bit of interaction between Harry and Severus in the next chapter.
Keep up the fantastic work!
I'm surprised that Snape hasn't found out about Harry's nightmares. He must not have the room monitored which is a little odd for our paranoid potions master. Your young Harry is an interesting character. He seems smart and curious enough to give Hermione a run for her money.

I love this story! Wonderful details, you nailed the emotions and questions that must be swirling in Harry's head. I can't wait for more Snape/Harry interaction. The angst is great!
