Cute story, though I would have liked for each chapter to be a bit longer and detailed. It was nice to see a Snape that did not immediately blame Harry but instead took the time to investigate a little further and find out the truth about Harry's situation.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing. I can see your point about length etc, although it was only meant to be a short piece. I'd put headings in as scene breaks (because on my story in the last fest all the spacing went haywire making it hard to read) and they became chapter breaks!
This is a terrific Christmas story! Young Harry is absolutely adorable, and so grateful for the changes in his life-- he writes thank you cards from the goodness of his heart! And Snape is such a sympathetic character throughout, despite a touch of snarkiness, even though it's directed toward people other than Harry. Enjoyed it so much, rosina! Thanks!

Author's Response: Thanks for all your nice comments. Much appreciated!
Yay! Loved to see Charity taking part in Harry's new life, and don't kids say the darnedest things! And what a surprise-- off to Hogwarts! That will be the icing on the Christmas cake!
Author's Response: I suspect Harry will get spoilt rotten for the day.
Awww! Harry finally has the bedroom he deserves, and Dudley can turn green with envy, if all of the magical items don't terrify the Muggle cousin first! Cool to fit a family friend into Harry's visit to Diagon Alley-- it really helps to round out his total experience!
Author's Response: Yes, don't think Dudley will venture into his second bedroom now.
VERNON! Hahahahaaaa!!! I'd never envisioned anything remotely like THAT! Go Harry!!! And cute, the scene with the donkey ears! I like the fairer-minded version of Snape-- great interaction between him and the other characters at Number 4.
Author's Response: :-) Glad Snape's ok even when he's being nice.
Nice opening chapter-- loved the concept of chocolate ... droppings! Superbly gross, and just what weird wizards would go for! And now, off to Little Whinging!
Author's Response: Surely even Dumbledore must need a change from lemon drops once in a while!
