A few minutes ago, in my previous review, I congratulated you on making your characters sound British, and then you go and use the word upperclassmen for seniors! LOL

It’s a pleasure to read a story written by an American who obviously has taken a lot of time and research to ensure that their characters are British. Thank you for a great story.

I've decided Dumbledore is suffering from 'greater good' syndrome. Poor Harry, even with Snape helping Dumbles will keep tossing obstacles in his path.

Damn you, I can't tell if he's evil or just disgustingly pragmatic and being stubborn enough to play keep away with Malfoy even in the face of ongoing abuse. Really trying hard to keep it vague, aren't you?

It's not like Harry Potter at all... Give us a terrible controlling schemer of a Dumbledore to offset things. You got a good start, but it could go either way at this point. Evil!Dumbles

Interesting that he didn't ask which house Snape was in... Oh wait, the Weasely boy.

Never a good explanation for why they sell so cheap...

First impressions are important

Damn it, I like him.

Now I'm wondering how you'll handle the death eater thing. I can't remember, it IS canon that he got it willingly, whatever his reasons were, right?

basilisk in first year?

Man, Voldy's got bad luck with kids. Taken down by a baby and then two snowballs XD

maybe a note in the prophet to explain why he never replied to any of the gifts?

"which would confine evil spirits" define evil spirit lol

Who the fuck? Flamel? I was thinking he might actually show up but...

did he just leave his wand in the class?
