    The way Harry lashes out at Severus here is so satisfying! Snape's affronted surprise that Harry would choose Tobias over him - "he's treated me a million times better than you ever have. So why would I go with someone who hates me?" It's saddening, that Harry would defend Tobias...but Snape needed to hear those words, I think!

    And Dumbledore's nonchalance when Snape confronts him is truly angering!

Title: Chapter 1: Oh And Harry… 07 Jun 2015
Reviewer: Vivid Murk (Signed)
    I don't know why I found it so hilarious, but I couldn't stop laughing at how Harry essentially forced Snape into signing the form. I love it when Snape gets put into those irritating situations!

Title: Chapter 2: The Isle of Coll 07 Jun 2015

    GO HARRY! WOOT! I loved that he's fired up and choosing to take most of the classes. What an exciting development! I hope he shows them all!

    I was a little jarred by the mentioning of Sirius' death - I totally forgot that this was a recent event, since it wasn't on Harry's mind in the first chapter. It was such a life-altering event - shouldn't Harry be emotionally affected by it more?

    Author's Response: Harry asked the staff and Snape to sign his form before the incident at the Ministry of Magic.  That happened a couple of weeks later at the end of the school year.  It's funny you should ask if he should be affected by it more, because that's what I thought in the real books.  Harry seemed totally unaffected by Sirius death in JK Rowling's book 6.  I do have stories where Harry is really affected by it, but in this story, though it is on his mind, he is very occupied with trying to get away from the Dursleys and paying for school, and then dealing with everyone at the school.

Title: Chapter 3: When It Rains... 07 Jun 2015
Reviewer: Vivid Murk (Signed)
    I love Harry's positivity here, and how there's some diversity in the staff. The thought you put into the setting of the school and how it's different from Hogwarts is appreciated too. I can't wait for Harry to change everyone's perception of him! I also like the foreshadowing of a friendship with Draco.

Title: Chapter 4: Professor Horrible 07 Jun 2015
Reviewer: Vivid Murk (Signed)
    Oh poor Harry! I can't wait for the three professors who sided with Snape realize their mistake!

Title: Chapter 16: The Other Schools 07 Jun 2015
Reviewer: Vivid Murk (Signed)
    I love Harry's character here - I usually dislike stories where Harry is physically abused by the Dursleys, since I feel the treatment he got in canon causes more than enough trauma, and doesn't need to be dramatized to show how damaging neglect can be. But I like how you keep Harry's determination and wisdom here - he was abused, but maintains his strength of character, which I feel is lost in some stories.
