- I had to go back to this chappy to see why it had such a rating but still don't get it. Really great work, with an event that jump-started a really great plot point.

- I somehow end up saying oooh, after I've read your chapters. A really great one, good to see complications in Harry's path, and Severus', but nothing terrible though you did have me worried for quite a while there. I absolutely love to see fics where Severus is like this - the competent, gifted adult that emerged from that child that was so gifted, something we lacked in canon might I add. Anyway, thanks so much, am so anxious for more!
Seven year old Harry Potter is the proverbial ugly duckling; small, scrawny, scruffy and (thanks to Dudley Dursley) solitary. However, one day Harry discovers, in a lonely clump of weed, this beautiful black swan … Entrant in the 2011 Fic Exchange. Written for Bil.

- Where precisely is the Character Death warning?!
Author's Response:
Sorry, I didn't think it needed an additional 'Character Death' warning as a. the story is just following the canon and b. I did mark this as a 'Tragedy' (which does rather suggest that there won't be a happy ending). Moreover, the moderator who uploaded this story didn't add the warning, perhaps because they also felt it was unneccesary. It's a bit disappointing to receive a review like this; I don't mind constructive critizism but to curtly complain about a trivial detail is a bit rude, don't you think? I would certainly never behave this way to a fellow author.
