Is it bad that I kind of don't want James' wand to really work for Harry? So why can he use Snape's? When are we going to find out? Author's Response: THank you! In retrospect this is probably one of the chapter I should have cut off, but I felt like I was putting a lot of things into it at the time. I'm glad you liked it :-) As for James' wand, don't worry, you'll find out!
So is Harry ever going to blackmail Snape about using Gryffindor's sword? If he does, you should totally have it revealed to Snape that Harry was supposed to be in Slytherin. (I'll admit I was kind of hoping that Harry was going to tell Snape when he was discussing the honorary Slytherin thing.) So can we see Snape and Harry watching Wizard of Oz? Just curious, I could totally see them watching the movie together. Perhaps even seeing the play Wicked or watching Return to Oz. (If you haven't seen it, you totally have to!)
By the way, is there a way to relieve Snape's fears about Harry leaving him because the boy is not of his blood? That young man (Yes I just referred to Snape as young, American term of speech) needs a little more confidence in his abilities. Hopefully Harry will learn that his father is human in a not horribly painful way. By the way does Lily, James and Sirus know Harry was supposed to be in Slytherin and that Snape can use Gryffindor's sword? Because if they don't, a comment made by both Malfoy and Sirus would be wrong. Great job! Write more! Translate more!! I look forward to reading more!! Author's Response: ahh well, there would be ways, yes, but I love the angst so much! :-) if my (borrowed) characters were real, they would probably resent me very much! I don't think that the ghosts know about Harry and Slytherin, but they certainly know now about Snape and the sword! That certainly gave them a good laugh! next chapter in a few minutes ;-) Snape and Harry resume Occlumency lessons in book six, with significantly different results. Harry grieves for Sirius (rather than getting over his death impossibly quickly). Things... ensue...

Please write more. I hope for Harry and Severus to know which side each stands on when that day happens. There are many forms of vengeance. It can be just as satisfying to return cruelty with kindness as to return cruelty with equal cruelty...and sometimes it can be more dangerous and more insidious to do so. Faced with an eleven-year-old Harry Potter, Severus Snape has a decision to make: How does he like his vengeance?

Great job!! I hope you continue to write more of this delightful story!! Sickly and neglected by his caregivers, little Harry would not have survived were it not for the mysterious dark angel who watched over him, caring for him when he was sick. Harry never knew his name, until he attended Hogwarts and discovered a certain teacher bore a remarkable resemblance to his savior.

I also wanted to state that I loved how you mixed religion in with the story of the wizarding world. It was great! Very inventive. I just gotta ask, what religion is Sev? I'm just asking because I've never heard a Protestant when I was living over there refer to Mary in such an honorable way. I don't mean any offense, I'm just a very curious (catholic) girl seeking knowledge. I am also totally jealous that you used the snow leopard as Snape's animagus form. I so wanted to use that if I wrote a story. Can I borrow the idea? I promise I won't take the name. I also loved that you had Harry as a snow leopard cub and Snape's true son in that form. That was utterly cute. Author's Response: Yes, I am considering one. Severus I see as being Catholic, because his robes and outfit remind me of a priest. That white stuck up collar and all. Some people got offended when I made him that way, they said it was inappropriate because of the witch hunts and all, but those things happened long ago and both Catholica and Protestants were invovlved in them. Even so, it's unfair to paint everyone of a certain religion with the same brush. And JKR did say that her wizards believed in God, and since this is my story, I made him a Catholic. Yes, I do love snow leopards and I wanted a powerful, proud, and yet beautiful animal for their Animagus forms. I think the snow leopard fits, because it has both light and dark coloring, which is symbolic of the light and dark in all of us. You may use that Animagus form if you'd like, just credit me with the inspiration. Thanks for reading! If you like Animagus stories, I have another series--Broken Wings with Harry and Severus as hawks and Moon Fire--with Severus as a mystical black stallion and Harry gains an Animagus form too later on.

Harry Potter has been keeping a secret from the world since he was 7 years old. When the last person he wants finds out, will all be as he hoped or as he dreaded?

Please update! It's Halloween and Something is hunting Harry - if only he could get Severus to believe him. Takes place during Harry's fifth year, not OotP compliant. My take on the Halloween!fic. Soppy and scary in equal parts!
