I'm lost.

I loved this story! I was on another site (sugar quills, maybe?) and it abruptly ended at chapter 27 and I was really sad until I googled it and found it here! yay! I really loved Snape in this story. And Harry. And Dudley. Which is rare:) Thanks for sharing with us!

I haven't read fan-fictions in ages, not even the ones I love enough to have confirmations sent to my email whenever they're updated, since I've been doing more writing than reading as of late. I'm loving what you have written, so far, and your characterization of Severus. This was a wonderful fan-fiction to spend the day reading and to end my reprieve from fan with. This has already tugged at my heartstrings so many times and the line about Severus having nothing left for the dementors to take and also the lines that imply the atrocities he's been through caused pangs of sadness to well up in my chest, so this is well written, since I'm already sympathizing with the characters.

Just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this story... thanks for writing it! :-)

Why didn't petunia use the flap on the door ?

oook the story was a little confusing and a little fast and i have to admit i didn'T understand the whole snape thing, but it was very interestin and enjoyable to read :)

Awesome job with the story I really liked how snape protected harry in this fic.

this is a really good story 3 :D

Very good story. Satisfying finish. I never saw where you told exactly what Snape is, to make him hibernate & take on all funny over the heat... Maybe you could contact me and tell me where I need to re-read more closely to catch it. My better half is a lot like that with the heat. $300 air conditioner bill, when my usual is under $100. Just because he breaks out literally in oozing sores from the heat. Must be his Norse blood. My Cherokee blood can take heat and cold both better... Continued success to you in your writings. :D

Mmmm. Pizzzzzaaaaa... Sorry. Distracted there. Damn good story, well-written, no errors I can see. Very entertaining. You write as well as any author I pay for. You tell things that are happening, from more than one viewpoint. I cannot emphasize this enough. You surely know that many authors focus entirely on Harry's viewpoint, which f-ing annoys me. JK herself annoyed me like that.

Great, great, great story. I had to Google Neil Gaiman. But, yeah, he does sorta look like Alan Rickman a little bit, doesn't he. I didn't read up on him, because I had to come back here & review and read some more. Did I mention that this is a great story? :D :D :D

What a fantastic story! This is a real gem. I review about 1% of all the stories I read, but your writing style and vocabulary really impressed me! You should write your own book.

I love the story. At the beginning I love Snape barges in and starts bossing people about! Haha it's great. :)

This is a wonderful story. I have to say that I am rather suprised about Dudley having magic and the fact that Petunia spoiled and almost killed her son to keep him from using his magic, although by the way she acts about magic her actions in how she treats Dudley really doesn't suprise me. Again I love this wonderful story.

Harry's behaviour is making me switch between amused and irritated. Amused because, well, what he does and the panics he gets into are amusing. Irritated because he really doesn't have a clue about what to do with illness. I'm starting to think that the fever he has is making him even more reckless and impetuous than usual. Surely anyone knows that if you're ill, you should stay in bed and keep drinking if you can't eat. Certainly, I would imagine that magic would be a bad idea (although, for obvious reasons I have no experience in that particular area). As for Snape, why try extracting the fatigue poisons when you can let him sleep? If he's tired, or in his case, exhausted, the best cure is rest. I shudder to think of what might have happened if McGonagall hadn't arrived in time.

Anyway, rant over. I like the way your 'yet another Snape meets the Dursleys' breaks the mold to become something original.
