AU. Just after midnight, in a hut on a rock in the sea, Harry Potter celebrated his eleventh birthday and, instead of Hagrid, was collected by Severus Snape to be brought into the world of magic. Mild abuse, neglect.

    I hate Snape in this (though you do a great job at humanizing him, what with this Christie novels and all, he's still a git), but I love Harry and Hermione. Did you start this story before the seventh book appeared? I don't think Snape would call Lily a mudblood, ever, not even to insult Harry. But he's in-character for before book 7. I hope you'll continue the story, I really like your writing style, but I fear it is not terribly likely after more than ten years ...

What if Dudley was a wizard? And went to Hogwarts? Things aren't looking too good for Harry Potter, or for Severus Snape. AU, of course.

    Poor Harry! Every time Dudley beats him up, Snape arrives to kick him while he's lying down.

    Hope you continue this story!

Harry has a new pet, Severus has a new pet, and there’s a first time for everything. Sorry for killing Hedwig again. Blame JKR for allowing only one familiar.

    An adorable little story!

    I'd like to know what Severus did to the Dursleys, though.

    And I somewhat hope he'll get Harry out of there, too.

Harry would always be Lily's...

    A sweet, short story.

    I would have expected Dumbledore to show some more remorse upon hearing the story of how Harry came to live with Severus. Hmph.

Harry is horrified to find that he has to interview Snape for a school project. However, the tables get turned and the Potions Master discovers that he has more in common with Harry than he thought.

    Not meddling in the affairs of wizards is rather hard for Dumbledore, him being an old meddler who is surrounded by wizards. I don't think he would have any more luck meddling in the affairs of witches. ^^

    Great story!

Ever wondered what Severus Snape would be like as a kid in a candy store? No, Harry hadn't ever wondered, either - but he's about to find out!

    Simply showing his fascination in a somewhat more dignified way would have been closer to canon ... but admittedly also less amusing.

Summer fic fest. At one point, early in their life, every wizard needs to submit to surgery. The summer after his first year at Hogwarts, it is the turn of Harry Potter to do so. It’s supposed to be a trifle, but what is ordinary about the Boy-who-lived? Complications will arise. Ghosts from the past will appear and secrets people thought buried for ever are revealed. The question is, in the middle of this ordeal, will Severus Snape at long last find something meaningful to do with his life?

    "To me, that kind of risks were what those people lived for. It was their choice, their life-style. It never occurred to me that the economic incitement was perhaps as compelling as a wand brandished in their face."

    I love that bit! Very nice characterisation of Lily. Like Hermione, she'd see past the arguments of "but it's their choice", and to the heart of the matter, namely that nothing is truly a choice if someone never experienced another way of living (like house elves) or the "economic incitement [is] perhaps as compelling as a wand brandished in their face". It is sad that your version of Lily can never meet Hermione. They'd like each other.

Dumbledore has requested Snape retrieve something valuable for the Order and stop Voldemort from getting his hands on it. Unfortunately Snape is also required to take Harry as they need a Parselmouth. Along the way, both learn more about each other and Snape's ideas and assumptions are proven incorrect.

    I really hate Sirius here. And Harry, a bit. He's so stupid!

    If he continues like this, he WILL lose an arm, and it will be his own fault. Well, partly.

    Mainly Sirius' fault, of course. When will he start acting like an adult?

Harry, Ron and Hermione feel really bad about accusing Snape of trying to steal the stone this year. So they're determined to get better at potions next year to make it up to him. (And maybe find out that this potions thing isn't too bad after all...?)

    Poor Severus! Just because he's a big ol' meanie doesn't mean he wants to steal the stone.

    I can't wait to see what happens next.

    Author's Response: Thanks for reading!! Stay tuned :)!

    I love how Ron ends up having a brilliant idea without even meaning to!

    It's typical for him ... after all, he also was totally right about Tom Riddle murdering Myrtle. Even though he only wanted to joke.

    Knowing Snape, he will probably suspect them of cheating when their performance improves, but fortunately, it is not really possible to cheat in potion brewing, seeing as they are not only allowed but supposed to look into their books and at the blackboard while working.

    Author's Response: Yes, I always found Ron to have a really good sense of things... Thank you for your review! :)!
