    ugh.... is that good or bad??? i mean, it would be sweet if voldemort was rendered a squib, they could just finish him off, but would that turn harry evil or something?

    Author's Response: ah, that's a good question actually.. let just say that Snape won't be too fond of the idea:!

    hey... it's really good. snape isn't mad at harry, is he? i bet now he knows why harry stayed at hogwarts instead of going to the weasleys. and he probably has realized he needs to teach harry occlumency.

AU Book I. Instead of there being a Harry Potter, there is an Arielle Potter, the girl-who-lived. Her life was totally changed when instead of Hagrid being the one that came for her to that hut on the rock, it was Severus Snape. The storyline is not what you expect. Arielle actually has a personality of her own. XD

    This is really good. I look forward to reading more when I get a chance. Keep up with the good work :)

Thirteen-year-old Harry is forced into the body of another Harry in a parallel world, where Snape adopted him years ago. And Snape is enraged to discover that his son has been replaced by a stranger. In our world, Snape discovers a new Harry--one who sees him as a father he never wanted to be. Each Harry must learn to survive in a strange new world, and search for a way home.

    This is quite well done. I wasn't sure about reading it at first, and actually passed over it several times because I wasn't sure that I could deal with something so AU, and also with something that wasn't made to bring Harry and Snape together, but was made to show two sides of both of them. However, I read the summary so many times that I became curious about it and couldn't stop myself from reading it, especially considering there wasn't much else to do in Health class. After reading the first chapter, however, I realized that you really are quite a decent writer and I became intruiged with the story, and here I am at home reading it when it's not my only option, which is saying quite a lot about your story... If you'll excuse my ramblings?

    Author's Response:

    You're excused.  ;)  Thanks for the info on why you passed on the story before; I'm curious about who chooses to read the story and why or why not.  Glad you're enjoying it!

    i don't know which ones you referenced in this chapter, but the mother's condition sounds kind of like '50 first dates' except more realistic

    Author's Response:

    I haven't actually seen that movie, but I know the premise.  I think you're right about that.  :)  I'm fascinated by the concept of memory and how it affects who we are.
