I’ve not been overly fond of the next gen stories I’ve read so far, but clearly I haven’t been reading the right ones. The kids here seem to have their own personalities, not clones of their various parents and yet it feels, comfortably, like this this could be Harry and Co. . And Snape is…well I think you’ve managed a convincing rationale for his mellow-ment (he’s also a lot of fun to read).

This is an amazing story, I hope you write more on it soon. I love seeing this side of Snape.

Absolutely brilliant.

I like this a lot, and the original "Lost Boys" too. I'd love to read about Snape re-introducing himself to Petunia, and meeting Vernon. LOL

Oh, I hope you continue this story! I really love it. You have managed to bring Snape back into the world without ignoring cannon. I love the characters and you have a strong, natural writing style that is a pleasure to read. Really, just a brilliant job.

Thank you for the great read!

Oh, this is brilliant! I love all the kids. Their personalities are so distinct, but especially young Lily! Rose's comment about murder being considered malicious by the unimaginative had me laughing loud enough to be heard next door, never mind the whole bit about the donkey ears hex. Love it!

I can't believe it's taken me this long to get to this, but I'm glad I finally have! Snape's comment to Rose made me smile, especially his threat to deny having made it. And I got a big kick out of him getting caught reading the Quidditch magazine!

This has been a pleasure to read and I do hope you continue with it once RL gives you some space. Thanks for the delightful fic!

I like how you write ghost-Snape--he's mellower than he was in life, which makes sense to me in many ways, but otherwise, his character is so exactly as it should be.

I *am* intrigued to see how Snape will deal with the rest (for some reason, I am most curious about his interactions with Petunia, I suppose because in a way have the most history).

I like this very much. I hope you update soon.

Lovely interaction with the children. They are so obviously their parent's offspring while still being individuals. I can see Severus becoming quite protective of Lily at this point. And I'm glad that your James is not quite the stereotypical prat we usuall see in fanfiction.

I just finished reading this and its predecessor in one go, and ... I love it. Though the children are cannon characters, they really didn't have a set personality in the books so I think of them more as OCs. It's usually easy to write ocs off and ignore them, but that didn't even enter my head here - all the characters seem to have real, full personalities and I love the way Snape's developed over the course of these.

I hope your updates are relatively soon, because I really look forward to them. Thank you very much for creating this and sharing it. :)

This story is wonderful so far. I had always hope you would do a sequel. interesting how Snape just found out now that Harry named a son after him.

LOL!

Severus Snape is far better at giving than taking advice to let Davey's friends look after him. I'm sure his years as Head of Slytherin are helping him to deal with all these youngsters on a personal level. In canon, we never really got to see much of Snape interacting with his own House.

It's taking Snape almost as much courage to leave Hogwarts as it did to go face Voldemort.
