- Loved this sentence: "Like wizard, like wand." Great Chapter!
Author's Response: That's gotta be a Wizard proverb or something.

- That was a fantastic story! I didn't see the end coming until the end :-) Very nicely done! I wonder what would make Snape choose what he did; often it's the other way around. Very well done.
Author's Response:
Do you mean choosing to come back? He didn't--that was what the conversation in Sirius' room was about, "I asked you a question. When they sent you back. Was it a punishment or a reward?"
Life is painful and unfair and Snape's soul is hurting. He's trying to work out if Tim's life is a punishment for his sins or not. And naturally, Snape's private hell would be furnished with Harry Potter. And a Lily who would abandon him, again. And adults who would fail him, again. And a body whose magic was, perhaps, crippled.
Harry's angry defense of the boy is immensely reassuring.

Cauldron’s bubbled. Potions simmered. And Snape was yelling at Neville again. Just another ordinary day in Potions class, or so they all thought. When a potion reveals something out of the ordinary, Harry’s life is changed forever, and not in a positive way. Was it so unreasonable to ask that he be allowed to make it through sixth year like a normal teenager?

- Well this is a neat start! I can't wait to see how Snape responds when he accepts the truth! Good writing too!

- Ooh, interesting. I've rarely read a "good" Lucius. I loved his line about why he was taking Harry under his wing. Can't wait to see what happens next.

- I like your story but... Ron is really bothering me. Ron can be a git, and he's not my favorite character to begin with, but this Ron is just wrong. The times when Ron has turned on Harry, it's been about Ron--Ron is jealous of Harry, Ron is hungry and feeling sorry for himself--it's always about Ron. He can be immature and self-centered. But the Ron in your story is mean and vindicative and that doesn't ring true. You can still have Ron be a git about everything--I know you want to emphasize the isolation angle--but to keep it in-character, you'll need to find a way to make it about Ron, and not just about "Slytherins" (Perhaps Ron is feeling slighted that Harry accompanied the Malfoys and not the Weasleys, or that Harry is too good for his friends/the Gryffindors because his father is a Professor/Head of Slytherin). Anyways, I hope you don't mind the constructive criticism. I can't wait to see where the story goes and what chamges Snape's mind.
Author's Response:
In my mind Ron is upset because he believes Harry has switched sides. Previously it's been him and Harry against the Slytherins and against the world. Now Harry is uncertain and that bothered Ron enough to push him over the edge. But since Harry and Ron aren't talking, and Hermione and Ginny are also sort of out of the picture, Harry doesn't know this, and neither does the reader, at least not yet. Sorry it bothered you that much, but it bothered Harry that much too and I wanted the reader to be upset by it.
Thanks for the review. Constructive criticism is of course always welcome so I definitely don't mind. I always look for ways to make my writing better.
