- Great start! It's only normal that Sirius' death affected Harry and I felt so sorry for him. I hope that Severus lurking means he was watching out for Harry. What did that prat of a Slytherin do now? I guess I'll find out in the next chapter or so. I was only suppose to read 1 chapter on my lunch break, but I can't stop now. This is a great read, thanks!
Author's Response: Thank you! I always thought that Harry would have been more affected by Sirius' death than he seemed in canon. Hope you don't get in trouble in work, lol!

- GREAT WORK!! I like the background information on Severus and I love Norie and Zan, they're hilarious trying to meddle in Sev' life and get him married. I'm liking this story more and more.
Author's Response: Thank you! It's fun to try to come up with backstories for the characters, and I have to admit to having a soft spot for Norie and Zan, too.

- Poor Harry, I'm sure he wishes he could wake up from what must be his worst nightmare. Snape, in his "I hate Potter" glory can be downright scary. I hope Norie is right and Sev will warm up to Harry soon. Great chapter!!
Author's Response: Yes, this is Harry's worst nightmare right now, but things will end up getting better for him.

- Another great chapter! I like the fact that Severus is slowly warming up to Harry, how he is starting to figure out that Harry is not his father after all. Excellent work! Thanks!
Author's Response: Oh, thank you again! Yeah, it took a lot to open Severus' eyes to the real Harry, but he's realizing how wrong he was now. Glad you're enjoying the story.

- I love this story!
I really like the way you write the relationship between Harry and Severus. It is slow going on both sides and very believable. Snape being glad that the slavery spell dictates that Harry lives with him is, to me, typical Snape. Although he wants Harry to be happy and not be a slave, it is easier to live by the rules of the spell than actually admit his feeling for Harry out loud.
Love the way you dealt with Umbridge, Sev is right Azkaban was too good for her.
At several points, my heart broke for both Harry and Snape. Harry writing letters to his friends, the talk they had after Harry's suicide attempt, it was heart-wrenching!
Kuddos on another great chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you again for these lovely reviews! I really appreciate them and I'm happy you're enjoying the story. Oh, those chapters were such fun to write, my favorite part of the story.

- Great chapter! Well worth waiting for...
Thanks for the update.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed it.
Harry has a vision of what his perfect Christmas would be. A home...a family, and being surrounded by people he cares about . Can his newfound father grant that wish?

- Aww... Great story!
After a series of tests to discover why Harry's magic has become erratic, a secret is revealed, one hidden for over fifteen years. But not all secrets disappear without consequence, leaving Severus to learn that potions cannot heal everything.

- Poor Severus, he is left to deal with an overly emotional teenager he doesn't like all that much! I get the feeling that this is much more than just magical exhaustion... I thoroughly enjoyed this, I like your writing style. Great start!

- How thick can the Headmaster be?!? And what did he make Severus sign? Somehow I doubt it was only an inventory list...
I know I should get back to work but I can't seem to stop reading!
Excellent chapter!

- I love the fact that Severus actually has a family! I like Aurora. I hope that we will see her (them maybe?) soon.
Great chapter as always!
