The Unwanted One by Amy starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 162]
Harry has always wished for someone to care, for a family of his own. On his birthday, he finds out that a certain Potions Master is his father, but Severus has finally settled into life with his other son. Can Harry finally have the family he has longed for, or will he always be the unwanted one?

    Even if Kieren is annoying and needy and a pest I feel like Severus is ignoring him to the point of just being plain neglectful. It seems unrealistic to me and gives a lot of his mother's concerns merit. As a 'villain' his mother isn't all that bad considering her concerns for her son are so real. I could see her disliking Harry, and even trying to plot to get rid of him so he doesn't interfere(and I can see Kieren doing the same trying to get his parents back together), but the two don't seem that bad when you look at how Snape is treating Kieren. Also, if Clarise is such an annoyance, why hasn't Snape told her she's no longer welcome to visit... several chapters ago? Any adult I know, including me, would have said that. I wouldn't tolerate any visitor in my home putting down my children or family. Just my thoughts as I've been reading for what little they're worth. I want to see Snape treating Harry and Kieren equally. Snape will never teach Kieren to act appropriately without showing him the same love and affection, and giving him the same time as he does to Harry and not treating Kieren like a burden. Kieren and Clarice seem like flat characters. All their mystery is gone because they act the same scene after scene chapter after chapter. I've never seen a parent (one that knows both children and has lived with both for a while) treat one with such love and the other with such complete disdain. Parents usually try to include all children in an activity. Such as Harry's potions lessons... Kieren could have sat and watched or done his homework in the lab while Harry was learning. Or Snape could have had Kieren working on one potion while Harry works on another. Or if Snape was busy in his study with work and Kieren wanted attention, Snape could have given the kid five minutes of conversation and then invited him to sit quietly in the study with him and read while Severus worked. I'm not trying to be mean, I really do mean this to be constructive. I'm sorry if it seems bad or is unwanted.

    Author's Response: I understand what you're saying, and I appreciate the constructive feedback. It wasn't my intention to give off the impression that Snape was neglecting Kieran. I'm sorry if it came off that way in this chapter. I do plan on editing and rewriting parts of the last few chapters. Thanks for the feedback.

Potions Prodigy by watercrystals starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 45]
When Harry arrived at Hogwarts, no one expected Professor Snape to be his favourite teacher – no one, except the mysteriously familiar witch teaching DADA.

AU. Romance tag is for Lily/Severus, but isn't relevant until later in the story.

Harry's Gringotts account is empty, with two years left at Hogwarts. What is he going to do? Get a job working for his Potions Master, that's what.

By A Thread by Mugiwara starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 54]
Harry Potter has created the perfect Boy Who Lived persona. He's learned to hide behind the mask, but what happens when it starts to crumble? Harry is determined not to find out especially not now that he's been forced into Occlumency lessons with his least favorite professor. Will Snape be able to see through the cracks to a boy who is just barely hanging on?

Truth's Like Blood Underneath Your Fingernails by ChoicesWeMake starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 35]
It is late in the evening, but Severus Snape is finally ready to sit back in his chair beside a steaming cup and contemplate. Because Merlin's beard, is there a lot to contemplate. He finally lets himself feel the emotions churning mutedly inside him as he stares into the flames hissing in his hearth. Nothing that happened today is what he expected, and he is not prepared, not at all prepared, for a Potter in his house...

It's not enough by lastcrazyhorn starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 99]
Harry wants what no one has thought to give him. Safety. Security. The ability to rely on someone else. And he's willing to go to any length to find it.

    Interesting and well written. I can't wait for an update. I hope they let Katie see the memory so she can vouch for Harry's innocence to other students. Blaise should see it too.

Severus Snape Untwists the Timeline by lilyswinter starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 15]

When Severus Snape dies during the Battle of Hogwarts, he doesn't expect to end up in his own body, 7 years before, at the exact moment he first met Harry Potter.

This time around, Severus resolves to keep his promise to Lily. He promises himself that he’ll keep Harry safe from Death Eaters, Dark Lords, and meddlesome old fools. But what will happen when Snape learns there are monsters greater than Voldemort in Harry’s life? What happens when Severus realizes that what Harry needs, more than anything, is a family?

(A Severus-gets-a-second-chance + adoption AU.)

    The summary looks really good and so does this chapter. I'm looking forward to seeing how Severus deals with going back to the past, things he's forgotten over the years and has to remember, etc, and how he forms a relationship with Harry. I hope it doesn't move too quickly.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the comment! That's good feedback about the pacing, especially. They definitely have a long, slow road ahead to build trust, and I don't want to take any shortcuts with that. I hope you enjoy the rest of the fic!
