- Hmm... do we figure out why Lily didn't name Snape his godfather? I guess I'll find out either way. :D Good chapter.

- Poor Harry. He doesn't have the luxury yet to know that his father was a total jerk to Snape. Very nice chapter again. :D

- That was a bit too close for comfort with Rookwood in the graveyard. Though, I'm very interested with Sirius. Very interesting. :D

- Wow. There's a twist. Very nice.

- Very nice twists, but I'm left with a couple of questions. For example, you mentioned "late Headmaster Dumbledore." I likely missed it while reading but did Dumbledore die or just retire? And are we going to hear more about this Celestrial Wayfarer? Nice story.
Author's Response: He died. It's mentioned in a small paragraph at the beginning of the story in the first or second chapter. He got blown apart trying to break the ring Horcrux. The Celestial Wayfarer might play a part, make that will play a part in a sequel, if I write one. Thanks for reading!
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.

- Awe... very nice story, Morgana. I love the idea and explanation of why Snape had a foreign executor of his will. It makes perfect sense. Plus, that character brought an extra oomph to a very good story. The memory is awesome. I loved it.
Author's Response:
Thanks ^^: given Severus' status as an outcast, I rather wanted him to have a friend and Poseihudor seemed an appropriate choice of confident; it's not difficult to see how Severus would have met the Swan Lord or why they'd have become friends- the only explanation needed was why he's choose a foreign executor lol!) Glad you liked the memory; I was a bit worried about being too hard on Dumbledore but, then again, we've seen him make similar decisions.

- lol... awe... Harry has his own House for Snape to deduct points from. Nice story.
Author's Response: Hehe, thanks a bunch! Yep, Snape should feel very special, Harry's house was built because of him, afterall.

- Awe... I love it, SW. Your last line is awesome. It conveys so much to the reader, Snape's thoughts about Harry and his constant love for Lily. I also love Draco being so, well, almost brotherly to Draco. Love it, SW.
Author's Response: Thanks Lan! and Thanks again for the beta!
Harry's been sorted into Slytherin, and Snape is forced to see things he would rather not. And what does an old box from a long time friend have to do with anything? Entrant in the 2011 Fic Exchange. Written for autumnamberleaves.

- You had some amazingly humour-filled lines that had me laughing hysterically. I love the dynamics you have between Snape and Remus. They were very refreshing to see Remus be a bit more joking with him. Draco on the broom disobeying Snape was enjoyable. Wonderful story.
