- Another Harry-Severus chapter - thank you, thank you! It looks like our Harry will be giving Hermione a run for the money on who is the biggest know-it-all. Of course, Harry does seem like a sponge, doesn't he? He truly seems to enjoy learning all of this new stuff, and he seems to love helping others with it as well. If he weren't so courageous and brave he would make a great Hufflepuff!!
(Seeing as I figure that would be MY house, I am paying him a compliment!)
Author's Response: LOL! I think you're right. Harry's loyalty and "saving people thing" would make him a great 'Puff. :)

- What an exciting chapter! How great that so many people rallied to Harry's support - particularly the Slytherins. Just one question - it is not clear to me who the Ravenclaw's were referring to when they talked about Harry's father. I would imagine it could be either James or Severus - will this come up again?
Author's Response: Sorry for the lack of clarity - they were referring to James. :)

- I love the girl power in this chapter - Daviella Jones, the feared Slytherin prefect and Hermoine Granger the Torturers' Daughter who snaps wands when pissed! The inter house cooperation is such fun to see, but even more fun will be seeing Slytherin vs. Gryffindor in quiddich. How will Marcus and the team handle Harry in the air? I hope you give us a tast of this at some point!
GREAT chapter!!!!
Author's Response:
Glad I could provide some Girl Power!! ;)

- Another great chapter - my favorite part being the very last paragraph - "I'll make pact with Merlin himself or a demon from Hell if that's what it takes to protect the brat." This is what all of us Snape-learns-to-love-Harry fans look for! I also liked the appearance of Arthur Weasley - another good Dad!
Author's Response: LOL! Yes, I think that attitude of "whatever it takes" coupled with Sev's Slytherin cunning is going to make the whole battle with Voldemort a whole lot different in this AU....

- "'During his Hogwarts days, your father had three best friends. Unfortunately, they turned out to be an idiot, a werewolf, and a coward.' Snape smirked..." Ooooh, Sev, please tell us what you REALLY think!!! All joking aside, what a hard conversation to have with Harry - trying to explain the prophecy, deatheaters, Sirius, and that pastry crust guy. Yes, I like "Volauvent" as well - Harry's cheeky comments are just so funny! Another great chapter - thank you!
Author's Response: Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. :) And yes, Sev definitely is not noted for his diplomacy...

- I was so very touched by Harry not feeling like celebrating on Halloween. It so makes sense that he will be thinking about his parents and what happened all those years ago on that very night. And so like Harry not to want to bother anyone about it. I would be more than happy to give him the hugs that Snape is afraid to give!
Of course, the juveniles up at the staff table don't need hugs! The Hooch-Severus exchange left me breathless with laughter!!
Another great chapter!!!
Author's Response:
Thank you. I never understood why there wasn't more attention to this in canon, and in this AU, it just felt right for Harry to try to withdraw a bit, but without inconveniencing anyone else. And, of course, it provided a beautiful opportunity to bring in the troll!
And yes, the so-called adults at the staff table are worse than the first years in my opinion! :)

- Troll in the dungeon indeed! The images of the trio scurrying down halls encouraged by the paintings, the troll saying one of the few words it probably knows, and the toboggan ride are just great! The trio bursting into tears when it was all over just seems like such a normal kid thing to do. Ron claiming that "uncle" Snape was to handle his punishment shows that he is not nearly as dense as some may think - and maybe has a little Slytherin in him!
Loved this chapter!
Author's Response: LOL! I'm so glad you liked it! I quite agree that Ron was pretty clever in insisting his "uncle" and not his brothers get first crack at him. :) I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed the troll encounter in this AU and that you found the kids' reaction to be refreshingly normal. I always thought the kids in canon were a little too stoic considering all the horrors they saw!

- I love the chapters where Severus has to figure out how a father handles things - and this chapter he has TWO unruly "sons" to handle! Of course, he does a great job - even when he is managing to move the two boys to tears just with his lecture. Great job on this chapter!
Author's Response: Ha ha ha! Yes, he does, doesn't he? I think most dads (or uncles) are a bit stymied when having to deal with more than the usual number, so I agree with you that Snape does a pretty impressive job, especially for a novice. (Though of course that Slytherin nature of his would let him play with Gryffindor minds!) I've never understood the fanfics that make Snape a heavy handed disciplinarian - why would a Slytherin find it necessary to hurt his own hand paddling little boys' behinds when his words should be able to cause even more anguish and guilt?? <snicker> Now *that's* Slytherin!!! ;)

- Awwww.... this chapter is like the chapter where Molly gives Harry (and Severus!) Lily's sweater... makes me tear up a little. Of course, I am chuckling right before I turn to a pile of blubbering goo - Harry and his warm fuzzy slippers are a great picture! I love how the professors spend the night giving Harry precious memories of his parents - what a gift they gave him! Thanks for another great chapter!
Author's Response: I'm so happy to hear you found the chapter so affecting. :) I really wanted to bring out Sev's anguish at misreading the situation and walloping Harry (even if it didn't really hurt). But I also wanted to show that Snape could not only relate to Harry's grief but also wanted to do something for the boy to *show* that he understood.

- I must admit that at first I was a bit taken aback at Harry's tantrum. I then considered that here was a sign that he was gaining self-esteem and internal strength - he never would have had an outburst like that while at Privet Drive! It also makes sense that Snape WOULD feel more comfortable dealing with rage, seeing as he channeled so much of his emotions that way.
Of course, I always enjoy when that pointy head butts up against that black clad breastbone - and it happened twice this chapter, so that makes me a happy Hufflepuff!
Author's Response: Exactly right - I intended it to show that Harry was feeling secure enough to push the limits and test (subconsciously) Snape's commitment. :)
