I very much enjoy the idea of little one-shots like this one for this series. You established the characters so well but you clearly enjoyed widening your scope a bit, and there's still room to play with Harry's suspicion of Dumbledore, his more informed view of Hogwarts' many oddities, and of course the dozen Defence teachers out to get him.
You made an excellent case for Ravenclaw, and that certainly seems like a House Snape could live with, as well. It'll probably drive Dumbledore's plans farther awry than any other house would; at least in Hufflepuff he could have counted on Harry's loyalty to drag him into insane adventures and the war against Voldemort for the sake of those he loved, and in Slytherin Harry would have learnt to fight dirty and plan ahead. Ravenclaw have always seemed the least-defined house to me-- at least the Hufflepuffs had Cedric, who was everything heroic and desirable, but the Ravenclaws don't have such emblematic characters. Scholastic Harry could still have his major leap forward with the Patronus under Lupin's tutelage, but could also be more independent and academically inclined enough to get himself over the hump. And, of course, a Ravenclaw Harry will have far less patience for Trelawney and her class of hooey.
I do look forward to Jade's return in this world, if only to see how Harry has grown up in contrast. There's a sweetness to this Harry underlying the hard-won cynicism.
Thanks so much for continuing this!

Not sure about Jade being in Hogwarts, I really do want to see Ron and how his friendship or lack thereof would play out. But I mostly want to see Snape and if he has to pretend to hate Harry.

I think it's great - Ravenclaw really suits this Harry. Will Harry be able to overcome house rivalry and remain friendly with Hermione and Neville, though?

So glad you are continuing this I love "To Trust". Can't wait to have Jade in the story again as she seemed such an interesting character.
I remember Severus saying that Harry had to see Madame Pomfrey in to trust, it might make an interesting chapter to have that visit especially
If Severus is present! Also a continuation of Harry's dislike of Dumbledore but that is because I dislike him!

I was so glad, whe I'd noticed your new story. I've loved "to trust".
And this 1st chapter (or 1st one-shot)is definitely very good and I like it :)
A was hoping a little, that Hermione will be in Ravenlcaw , but still... hopefully they still be friends.
And I would like to know Severus reaction on the sorting.
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! I'm so happy you are continuing this, even though I would love a sequel, but I will take what I can get!
Thank you so much for continuing this!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! That's really great to hear.
