- "A sport of high aggression and high danger, played, for the most part, by arrogant fools with no sense of self-preservation." He paused, and continued less bitingly, "Some people seem to enjoy that sort of thing."
Major LOL! factor there XD I like how he's all like, Yeah! Let's mould this little kid in my image! but goddammit if there isn't this little picture of Lily in my head, wagging her finger at me.
On Harry's flinch-reflex: I like how this doesn't just suddenly go away - these things take time, you know, and with Snape it might take just a little bit longer than usual XD

- "Just like," Albus said quietly. His robes were the green of summer meadow, with bright yellow flowers embroidered on the sleeves."
I love the sound of his robes XD It reminds me of this picture I saw on the internet, just after HBP was released, of an old hippy riding a bicycle through London. It had the caption "Dumbledore LIVES!" and the old man had this really awesome rainbow tye-dyed tee-shirt. Yeah. Awesome XD
I heart Snape/Harry love. And this story is full of Snape/Harry love. Therefore I LOVE THIS STORY XD

- "Of course he had no ulterior motives in removing the surname of his nemesis . . . Oh, who was he kidding?"
Yes, who are you kidding, Snapey? Certainly not anyone who's reading this story XD
CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT? THE PEACE THE EVENING BRINGS? XD

- "A visit to those Dursleys was in order, for this and their many other transgressions. Immediately, if he could manage it."
PATERNAL!-Snape is always my favourite XD My love for Snape is intensified in light of the punishment he dishes out for the Dursleys. Still no love for them, though XD

- Ooh, you are hiding something, Dumbledore XD
"Maybe he wasn't really a wizard. Maybe his new father wouldn't want him, if he couldn't do the magic on purpose. If he couldn't, he'd have to make sure his father never found out then."
Harry: you are so gorgeous and cute and I would swoop down on you and give you lots of fat hugs and kisses and squeezes if I didn't know you'd flinch away. And possibly also for fear of my life, because Snape is starting to become veeeery protective of the Snape family's newest, littlest member XD

- "I'm easily distracted," Harry said, sounding like he was quoting something. "And after morning break, I'm often moody and unpredictable."
I really love how you hint at things through dialogue and through small actions, and like things through Harry's reluctance to have a bath. I've read some fanfictions where the authors are so sure that we can't add the dots together on our own, and so make sure to point out every little detail, either when it's happening or right at the end, so I can't tell you how happy I am that you're just letting us build up our own little picture at the end. You haven't even told us all of the Dursley's memories, which (aside from the fact that there'd be like 10 pages worth of memories for each of them) is nice. I always like to imagine some things myself, in stories XD

- Yay! Captain Snape flies to the rescue once again! What will happen next? Stay tuned for more in the next installment!
Um ... yeah. Sometimes my brain runs away from me XD

- "He didn't want to say why, that if he didn't know what they were yelling about, or what they were planning to do to him, then he couldn't be prepared."
Poor Harry :C But you have Snapey now, so you won't have to worry about anything because if he had his way you'd be wrapped up in bubble-wrap XD
I like how Snape is a bit dubious about Draco. But don't worry, he'll be nice because Harry has that sort of affect on people XD
As always: I love this story XD

- I have two favourite lines:
"Draco face was reddening, and it contrasted quite a lot with his pale, slicked-back hair. "I don't know! But it's bad, whatever it is, and they are it."
LOL! Sometimes you are such a noob, Draco. Cute, but a noob.
"Severus wondered briefly how far off the grounds he could get if he were to wipe that expression off Malfoy's face permanently."
Probably not very far - I daresay you'd be stopped by the white peacocks, who Lucius has probably trained to live off meat XD

- Yay, Hagrid XD I was wondering when he'd show up. I like how he's very accepting of Harry and his new situation, despite the fact that he probably was close to James and Lily.
That dream has probably dredged up some huge angst factor for Snape XD (I know I shouldn't be so cheerful but seeing Snape confront himself and begin to chip away the black tarnish that is covering his soul is so nice to read XD)
