    Woo hoo, another update! Now I'm caught between wanting to swat Harry and Snape... men! I'm absolutely in love with your story though, and your characterizations and descriptions are terrific. Keep it up :)

    *very* promising start. I especially like how you've got Snape warming up to Harry rather slowly instead of rushing things as many authors do. keep it up!

    Author's Response: Wow, thank you. I'm glad you think so, and I'm working at keeping it that way. I think it works better with the earlier timeframe, so neither of them are quite so set in their dislike just yet.

    From the summary I was cringing thinking you were killing off Snape (a la end of HBP) as 'Harry gets revenge', but this reconciliation was tear-worthy :) Well done.

    Potion-itis? I love it :)

    Good job on the interactions, and I especially like how you have Snape getting Harry to admit what he doesn't want to talk about. I always felt that in the books Harry was a little too closed-off, but you've done a great job of opening him up!

    Author's Response: Thank you!  I got the idea for 'Potion-itis' after re-reading OotP and how the students suffered from 'Umbridge-itis.'  And I agree that Harry was a bit closed-off in the books, but then that's what fanfiction is for!

Why do we Live? by Solitare starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 161]

    Wow, I don't think I've ever come across this particular premise before (and with my reading addiction, that's saying a lot!)

    This is a great beginning, and I'm very much looking forward to reading more. I particularly like how you've written Snape as a more compassionate/responsible adult than the uncaring monster he's shown as in the books. Keep it up!

    Have you read Dave Pelzer's books? The plot seems a little familiar, but it's starting off well.

    Author's Response: I have read those books and I dont think I will be following any ideas from that but that may change later. Thank you for the review!

    Very interesting beginning... now poor Harry won't know what to think, what with being abducted and thrown around. I hope you continue, because this looks to be an extremely good read!

    Also, if you're needing a beta, I can read it through for you. Especially now that I have a little free time in the evening, woo hoo!

    Author's Response: Thank you! I could use a beta, I emailed you.

Till Death Do Us Part by Alexannah starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 9]
As life throws more at Harry than he can handle, he needs more and more to seek acceptance and love from those he considers family. As the lines blur and change, he needs it even more, even from those he used to hate.

    "spend weeks being spoiled rotten by his Muggle relatives?"

    Am I hearing evil laughter? Ooh, I can't wait to read Snape's lovely wakeup call with the Dursleys! Bet he won't be able to spit those words out again afterwards :)

    You have a very unique idea and I would love to see how it develops. Your beginning is intriguing and well thought out, and it would be a shame for this fic to die before we see what twists and turns it will take.

    Author's Response:

    Oh, thanks so much! And no WAY is this fic gonna die. And trust me, there will be twists. Oh boy, will there be twists! lol. :)

    Thanks so much for the review! :)
