    Excellent, excellent story!!!! So glad you wrote it. Lots of insights into Harry and Snape (such as Harry never counting on an adult to help him). Loved Harry not completing the spell because of love. Loved the happy ending. Glad Harry married Ginny. Glad Luna and Snape got together.

    Thanks again. Awesome stories!!!

    Very good chapter. I really felt like I was in the room with Hermione and Ron and Harry and Severus as Hermione and Harry experienced such grief and pain and Ron and Severus tried their best to help them. You are doing a great job showing us readers how much Severus loves Harry, even though the words have never been said.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  I really appreciate your comments!  Yes, Severus does love Harry, very much, and vice versa.  It'll still be a while, though, before the actual words get said aloud, but I do have that scene planned out already.

    Good chapter. Don't feel too bad about having Harry rush into danger again. I can actually see Harry doing that in the stress of his emotions. He's still a boy. Intellectually he may know that leaving Grimmauld Place wasn't smart, but many of us have problems thinking things through when we're upset.

    And everything turned out OK so maybe this will really help to get the lesson through to Harry to think before he acts.

    Good work.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  I'm glad you don't think it's too unbelievable a stretch.  And you're right, Harry was very upset and needed a little space.

    Good chapter. I personally don't worry about characters being OOC if the author has had the character change believably -- which you did. Severus didn't come to love Harry in a ridiculously short period of time or without Severus fighting the change a bit.

    So thanks for another good chapter.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  I hoped it would be believable!

    I was crying at the end of this chapter where Molly tells Severus that all parents make mistake and they just have to forgive themselves and go on.

    You're doing a great job with this story!

    Very interesting. A novel way to get Severus to mentor Harry.
    Writing is excellent. Please keep updating.

    Author's Response: Thank you very much for your kind review. I'm having a hectic year so far, but I have made progress in the next chapters. Updates are steadily being completed and as a result will be posted soon. ;). Thank you for the writing compliment. *Bows*.

Reviewer: JolisGSD (Signed)
    Good chapter. I loved the interaction between Snape and Harry. You show very well how hard it is for Harry to wait - to not plunge in -- but to actually listen to an adult. Snape's approbation for Harry for that was very touching. Was that why he agreed to Harry's request not to be carried?

    Good chapter. Good story.

    Author's Response: Yes, that was exactly why Snape agreed to show Harry some respect and appease his request (or small tantrum, I guess)... ;)  It was sort of a symbolic scene--Snape crouching "down to Harry's level" for a change instead of always forcing him to see things his way.  I'm glad you picked up on that.  And I appreciate your interest in my story.  Thanks so much for reviewing!

    This is the first I've read your story.

    I like your Dr. Yuri and Taki. They are both interesting and fun characters.

    I think your plot is interesting. I do find your Snape not quite in character. I can believe that he would be good at caring for his Slytherins in similar states of mind, but you have not really given me a reason for him to be concerned about Harry except as the defeater of Voldemort (according to the prophecy.) He himself has contributed a good deal to Harry's problem with his many years of torment of Harry -- I would have expected him to realize this. He's not stupid even in canon.

    But other than that the story is a good one.

    I read your whole story tonight. Very nice. I'm intrigued with your fairly "nice" Severus, sad about Harry's bad luck with uncles and stepfathers, and wondering what problems will confront Harry once he gets to Hogwarts.

    Author's Response: Yeah Harry's got some bad luck but all will get better for him soon. Thanks for the review!
