    Very nice job with the reveal. It was good that Snape was able to help out with a suitable suggestion.

    Wonderful! I loved it! I am so glad that Snape was able to suggest a name and that she picked it! Great way to reveal it at the end. So did he pick the name especially for her, or is it just a name he liked? It would of been a beautiful name if he had been able to have Eileen and Snape as well. I wonder if he'll ever be able to fully claim her.

    Fantastic story. I am really enjoying it. Thank you so much for the update!

    I hope she gets to stay in Gryffindor. And that he takes full custody of her.

    Ok SO much to talk about here! First off, I still want to hit Snape in the face, because he's being SUCH an insufferable jerk to poor Harry (or should I say VICTORIA AHH but we'll get there). I understand that all of this must be upsetting/trying/hard for him, because god knows no one would be able to handle something like this gracefully, least of all Snape, but SOME empathy wouldn't kill the guy. But then again, would he be Snape if he didn't act like this? I love it and hate him, gah.

    Secondly, I totally think Harry's behavior is justified. The poor kid is being asked SO MUCH about something that will change her life and who she is. It's no wonder this kid keeps exploding everywhere. I want Lily to like, come back from the dead and hug this poor girl forever.

    I love love LOVED that she chose the middle name Harriet-- it's like she's keeping a part of herself there. SUCH a good choice-- and I LOVE the name Victoria and that Snape had a hand in it. I'm really for father-daughter feels, though I think that's a long time coming. GAH.

    The name of this chapter also hit me right in the feels. Amazing job, as always! I await your next update eagerly!

    Author's Response: I think she was justified too ^_^ The name of the chapter was also meant to show the change in what Harry is to him. In the beginning she is Potter, which makes her part James and that is the light he views her in, after her true self is discovered she becomes 'the girl' because he doesn't know how to deal with her, now that she is an Evans that more or less is going to remind him of how much Lily she is every time he says it.

    Oh, I was so happy to see this chapter. This is such a great story that immediately I feel myself wishing for another chapter as soon as I have read it. You are truly doing an excellent job and this chapter was just as great as your other ones.
    I am very exited to see what her name turns out to be. Spot on on the Evans part. I think that definitely was the best choice. As far as her first name, I would love to have Snape choose it. Maybe he had some insight from when he and Lily were friends? Or how about leaving it just Harry?
    You are doing a great job on their relationship and the emotions that go along with that. I think Snape was justified in how he disciplined Harry. He was not overly harsh and I think that a child that had grown up in a loving home would see and understand that. What made Snape sad, I believe, was the fact that she was accusing him of something far different and did not understand the meaning. I think she needs to know that there was a limit her behavior and that was it. Working through all that after the fact I think will be essential for their relationship, but I feel that the cp and Snape reaching his limits was well in character for him.
    I'm starting to like James less and less. I understand that he might have been desperate but even on desperation people can choose how they react.....and don't get me started on Dumbledore..he's as manipulative as ever.
    I quite enjoyed the Minerva and Snape alliance and I hope you keep it intact. Thanks so much for sharing your time and story.

    Interesting start! :) Quite unusual plot with a girl Harry ... but why on earth have the Dursleys invented the game? And it seems like the wizarding world also believes she is a boy...As you said in your note, it is confusing... but I am sure it will be explained later on... I am intriguied, will be interesting to see how it all unfolds...
