You write a rather convincing story on what could of happen to Harry during his childhood years

It's actually a pretty good read. It's very different in the way that there's almost no conversatio nadn everything is being explained to us instead of as actual events. I think I like it. It's mostly just a long series of misunderstandings that led into something greater, isn't it?

This is a very, very intriguing story. The idea of Marge Dursley being the rational one is something that I don't think I've ever seen before - and it definitely made for an interesting story!

I look forward to reading more!

I really enjoy this story, and am hoping soon for an updadte. I am not using my own computer so sorry this is sent anonymous.

i actually like this story. i still keep thinking of all the squibs in the world ganging up on petunia. funny picture if you think about it.

I must say, I'm really enjoying your story so far. I usually don't read incomplete stories, but I'm glad that I started to read yours. Its very original compared to other stories out there which is rather nice. I love how you portray Petunia and Vernon. It's nice to see that Vernon is not made out to be the complete bad guy, though still in the wrong. I can truly say that I can't wait to read more ^^

I love seeing that both Vernon and Marge believe that certain books about the paranormal are especially scientific . However, this gives them both a much better idea about Harry's powers that their little knowledge of magic actually does, and so could be quite helpful. Just as well that neither one ever read a story called "It's a _Good_ Life".

And I am surprised that the Muggleborn don't end up with much better wandless magic than their peers, since they aren't allowed use of their wands in summer, while those with magical families apparently aren't bothered by the ban, since they have the presence of magical family members to cover their own use. I can just see Hermione Granger, for instance, practicing spells like mad without her wand because she didn't want to get a letter like the one Harry did.

I wonder who Col. Fubster really is and why Marge Dursley is confiding in him? He seems to know a lot about the Wizarding World for someone related to the Dursleys. But it sounds like he is trying to be helpful, though.

And, you know, James could have had _help_ with his potion. After all, Marauders stick together.

No surprise that Vernon is being left off the hook here, since his sister really thinks Petunia was doing all of it, and that Vernon was merely going along.

Of course, did anyone ever _check_ on those other children as time went by? Silly question. If anything's happened to them, nobody knows about it, do they?

And McGonagall was already well trained to ignore her conscience, I expect, after knowing what her students were actually capable of and having Dumbledore intercede for them.

I wonder just how willing Marge Dursley was in signing that document, how well Dudders is going to be interacting with Harry, and who is going to have custody of both of them? One wonders if Dudley is going to be happy in a magical family, or take out his grief and anger at losing his parents on Harry yet again?

Just a few thoughts.

Certainly interesting, and different, as Marge isn't used much as a character. What gave you the idea to use Marge?
Keep writing!

how old is Harry in this story

Yay for Marge!

But wasn't Dumbledore the one who left Harry with the Dursleys and never looked in to make sure the kid was all right?

Wow, what a story, it makes so much sense... I'm really wondering what's next... so, what's next? :)

I am finding this a truly interesting story. Especially due to your ability to tell the tale from several different perspectives. I really liked the Petunia side of the story, she is not innocent, just not as evil as she is painted. Will she realize that what she did to Harry is EXACTLY what her parents strove so hard NOT to do to her, blame the child for the sins of its parents?

I'm curious to see what happens and if Dudley's perspective will get a chance to be aired.

I also liked that Sanpe would come to the aid, well make that seek vengence upon, the son of Lily. This is the only real OOC moment that I see. Snape was willing, in Canon, to see Harry sacrificed so he could possess Lily. In a way Snape did exactly as Petunia did, blame a baby for the actions of its parents. Maybe that is a parallel you could pursue. Snape and Petunia have something in common, albeit failings, and come to heal each other?

Looking forward to the next installment.

Beautifully written change from the typical "vernon lead, petunia willingly followed" approach. I look forward to seeing more.
