*weird smile* Yeah, I got it... at least, I think that was it.
Pfft, Cinnamon. Well... it goes with the plant theme and it's unique! Actually... looking it up. False Cinnamon is called Cassia. That's... actually a really pretty name. And plant/potions/latin themed to boot! Depending on the context, the name can either mean 'Champion' or 'Empty/vain'. Gah... Ok, I'm just really getting into the naming game now. Then again, most every name in the HP series has some two/three/more layers of depth. Except Harry... JK just likes the name. (Even Padfoot. Did you know that's an alternative name for the Grim?)
like that james is being painted in the dark... like evans surname...
I wonder what she decides on in the end.
I really like that they're going with Evans. Lily power-- woo!!
Wow, James really is terrible, isn't he? Personally, I love James Potter, but this is making me want to punt him across a mountain range or something. I wish Snape would stop being such an ass and try to see that Harry needs him.
I can't wait to see the name!! Excellent chapter, as always!
Author's Response: Well, normally James is kept beyong reproach and it is either Lily or Dumbledore glamouring Harry in these kinds of stories. I wanted to try something different, so I made James darker. ^_^

Albus appears to be rather biased. I can understand his standpoint on James' reasons for what he has done but just because he can justify his actions doesn't mean it excuses him, it doesn't make right of wrong. And what really disturbs me is how little regard everyone seems to have for Lily's feelings and wishes. At this point I doubt that James loved Lily and rather felt possessive of her. And on top of that he sacrificed Harry's wellbeing to uphold a lie he wanted to believe in.
Scurvy Grass Flitterbloom Evans... I approve. Haha, but jokes aside, I kind of hope that Sev will suggest a name. I mean, Harry already expressed her discomfort about naming herself and wondering what her mother would have named her. Maybe Sev even knows what Lily would have chosen for her daughter's name?
The surname was never really a question, since Harry resents both "Potter" and "Dursley". So that only leaves "Evans". She can't (and honestly wouldn't want to) have the name "Snape" but maybe "Prince" would have been an option.
The scene where Sev picked up some orange peels from Harry's hair was cute.
I would feel some understanding toward James, but ultimately I don't because trying to protect Lily or not, he seriously fucked up Harry by changing her. Not to mention that it really was Lily's choice in the end that got stolen from her, noble intentions or not, and the outcome of the situation was not his to decide. So, yeah team Evans all the way

Very good chapter, I like the fact that Severus is almost in character in his dealings with Harry
