Reviews by Xedra

What's in a name? The-boy-who-lived, prophesied defeater of the Dark Lord, son of the supremely intelligent Lily Evans and talented James Potter, Golden boy of Gryffindor, part-time punching bag and house elf of the Dursleys and the bane of Severus Snape's teaching career, Harry's used to labels. Who would want Harry when they can see instead whoever they like instead? Having never been entirely sure who he is makes him a little too open to suggestion though and unfortunately for him, Umbridge wants to banish his old list of names and create a new one of her own.
Beneath the names others have branded him with will anyone be able to find Harry?

By third year, Harry was starting to think he knew his own identity. Then, the discovery of an old secret threatens to throw his world into turmoil, yet again. Nor is he the only one who finds his life affected...

Who is he, anyway?

    LOl, this is sweet. I'd love to see this idea expanded, but what you have here is adorable. XD

    Author's Response: Thank you so much. :). I thought briefly about continuing it, but I like it where it is so for now it's just going to be short. :). Maybe I'll be inspired later. Thank you, for commenting!

An accident the summer before 6th year puts Dumbledore's plans for Harry in motion sooner than planned. Will an unexpected truce with Snape better prepare Harry for what is to come? An introspective Snape mentors Harry fic with all the regular players, told from Harry's point of view. Slightly AU after OOTP.

    Seriously one of THE best Harry/Snape stories I've ever read. *sigh* Loved it!

    Author's Response:

    High praise.  Thanks!  I know how many H/S fics are out there in fandom world.  Glad you liked my take on "how it could have been."

Petunia Dursley is cleaning the attic and finds a previously unknown copy of Lily’s will. Ecstatic at her discovery, she promptly abandons her burdensome nephew, along with Lily’s will, on the doorstep of her childhood nemesis (aka, Severus Snape). ***SEQUEL "Lily's Last Wish" NOW POSTED***

    This must be at least my fifth time reading this fic, and I love it just as much as the first! I can't wait for you to write the sequel!!!

Rather than allowing Harry to stay at Diagon Alley after he blew up Aunt Marge, the Ministry sends Harry back to the Dursleys. Harry returns to school after a terrible summer, to find that he's not the only one with this kind of secret. A student has been killed by his family. New screening measures are put into place by the Ministry: Every student must be given a medical exam and interview to look for child abuse. With Dumbledore facing an inquiry, Snape is entrusted with the task of making sure EVERYONE receives one.

    Ah, another fantastic chapter! I love all the emotion from Snape. I like how he reacts to Remus, too. And the return of Snuffles, yay! This is easily one of my top favorite HP fics.
