Hobbits01 2006-06-26 ch 1,	abuseThis right here is an amazing idea that I never would have thought up. The fact that you make it so that Harry is never hit with the curse is a stroke of genius, but neglects to cover how it was that he got the scar - unless, of course, I have missed out on that bit. I do love how the first paragraph is all about the curse in itself. That really must be my favorite part about this one, though there are several contenders for the best piece of it. It's rather interesting that you told this on in first person Harry rather than third person, which most would more than likely opp for. I'd have to say that it fit the piece perfectly. Great job, once again!!
LadyMoriel 2006-06-08 ch 1,	abuseIt's an interesting take on the situation, definitely--I think with that much of an author's note afterward, you might need to clarify something within the story so it's obvious that the baby died from the cold, but I like what you've done with the idea. It does present one problem in canon, though--if this were Voldemort trying to kill these people, and the same thing happened as with the Potters, then here too the Killing Curse would have rebounded on Voldemort. That's the only thing that makes this idea non-canonical. ...unless, that is, you're talking about someone entirely different, in some unspecified era of wizarding history, I guess.

Miranda Took 2006-06-02 ch 1,	abuseI read the first line and decided to qoute it in my review, you know "I loved that line/That line was beautiful/haunting etc." As I read the 2nd sentence and kept reading it, I realised I would need to qoute the whole of it, and so I gave up. The mood of this has been very nicely created. Every line seems to be whispering something and I sort of picturised the scene, the room , the parents kissing in front of imminent death, the sound of the father's fall floating to the room... I also appreciate the little piece of reference you have done, very few people actually study before writing fanfiction, and even original stories and yours was an oneshot and even without the reference your story would have been complete because you had explained enough about the curse-all those'rush of death, suspended glory of a soul in..." Beautiful lines, those! But you went on to add that piece of reference which really just gives an added dimension to it. One doubt-was not the curse supposed to rebound on whoever cast it on the baby? In Harry's case, it did rebound, Voldemort didn't die because he had his horcruxes but even then he was destroyed. The samething ought to have happened here, either a deatheater(who tried to kill the child) should have died or Voldemort(if he had done it himself) should have lost his powers as he did when he tried to kill Harry. Thats what I feel anyway, if Iam wrong then sorry. I loved reading it.
Silver Queen 2006-06-02 ch 1,	abuseVery nice. I think the way you’ve blended the language to combine an ‘older’ understanding and a child’s fear works very well. The last paragraph/two sentences have a very foreboding sort of feel to them, which is wonderful, but I think you might need to link it back to the sentences before a little more. There isn’t really a very strong link. It’s a little hard to tell whether you’re implying that the child’s dead or alive or … something else. (And as for the idea that Lily can’t have been the only mother to die for her child – I totally agree, but JK said in an interview, [which can either be found on her site or on mugglenet, I think,] that it had to do with the way Lily died, though she didn’t really say anymore.)
