    I liked that Minerva stood up for Harry when she was talking to Snape. Maybe he will think about their relationship more, especially after hearing Harry stand up for him. The first Divination class was funny. It sounds like everyone saw something different in Harry's cup. Minerva's comments were the icing on the cake.

    Cada día reviso esta página esperando y ansiando con esperanza que realmente hayas publicado un nuevo capítulo,

    y he de decir que no decepcionas, fue un excelente capítulo, me encanta como se van poniendo complejas las cosas, los sentimientos sin duda difusos de Severus sobre Harry son brillantes, por otro lado es fascinante como mezclas el canon con tu propio AU es muy bueno

    muero por ver el partido de quidditch, seguro será un buen susto para el pire Severus además de que por otro lado muero por leer su cara cuando se entere de que es lo que Harry escucha cuando un dementor esta cerca de él

    gran capítulo

    Author's Response:

    Hi! Thanks for the review! Though do you think you could possibly review in English? I'm using google translate to translate your reviews, and though it does give a translation I believe it kind of messes it up a bit too ... But I still love the fact that you keep reviewing!

    I continue to wait impatiently for one chapter after the next--you have me very clearly hooked!
    Now to express some of annoyance/anger at this Snape you've drawn.
    It is so hard to see how he could ever, possibly, make up for the depth of his idiocy and cruelty. I won't say he has no redeemable characteristics, because he genuinely shows his love for Ian. But his motivations for being so unstoppably blind and hideous when it comes to Harry just feel so...weak and nonexistent. When he finally comes around, please let him REALLY come around and see everything he has done for what it is. If he doesn't show that he understands just how willingly blind he has been--if he doesn't owe up to the fact that he has rejected a boy who is every bit as much his son as Ian is, it will be a big comedown after your amazing build-up. Sorry if this sounded like a rant--clearly, I'm ranting at your character, and not at your writing. I'm eager for him to make better use of all of that information he keeps shoving aside to "examine later."
    Can't wait for more!

    Snape, a horrible, bloodthirsty best. There is nothing else to say!

    Good story! Are McGonagall and Dumbledore working on finding an alternate guardian for Harry? Wouldn't think anyone would rationally place him back with the Dursleys and Snape has stated he is not interested. Will Harry have any say? He probably wouldn't want to be a burden to anyone (for their sakes as much as his own.) Will Ian see not everyone at Hogwarts thinks Harry is nothing but trouble? So many questions... Very good!

    Ravenclaw was a good choice for Ian. I really liked the reasoning – and he could definitely stand to learn more. Snape’s attitude toward Harry seems to have remained fairly distorted – he is still quick to judge/blame and ever so eager to punish. He apparently only gave Harry his broom back so he could have charge of taking it away later (similar to blackmailing Harry using Quidditch.) It bothers me how little he seems to regard or care for his first born child. He expressed no concern over Harry’s well-being after the dementors except to assume it was Harry’s fault and if he could reasonably punish him. Given this side of Snape - it was reasonable (way back when) – that Lilly would not have trusted him enough to tell him about Harry. Still, she seems adamant there is more to him…

    I appreciated McGonagall’s concern in this chapter! I admit to being a little frustrated with Harry’s generosity in his description of his treatment from Snape. But then again – How could Harry know any better? He only has the Dursely’s to compare to. In the books - they kept him in a cupboard for 10 years – then put multiple locks and bars up in a bedroom and fed him a can of soup a day (which he shared with his owl) through a cat flap. So in Harry’s mind - the fact that he mostly gets regular meals and isn’t hit would seem pretty good. The emotional abuse, lack of trust, and dislike are a normal expectation for him. But I can’t help being unsatisfied with the idea of Snape being let off the hook so easily. He has shown so little kindness.

    I am thinking there would be several witches/wizards who would be willing to give Harry a real home if they understood his situation. Thank heavens for Hogwarts – every child needs to feel they wanted and belong somewhere. You are doing a great job with the angst in this story (as frustrating as it is at times.) I am eager for more. Thank you for writing and sharing.

    Good chapter although I don't think Mcgonnagal would ever say "Butt heads"!

    Still really enjoying your story! Yeah for Harry being back with people who actually care about him! This is the first time he has been described as glad, happy, smiling all summer. Did Snape not notice? I suppose Snape has never considered Harry's happiness - too busy feeding his own resentments.
