Oh my God. This was one of the best fanfictions I have ever read. Pure amazing ness.

This is one of the best written books on this site. You have, as far as I can see, not made any of the usual grammar mistakes that this site is riddled with. The plot was very well done, with enough character death and sorrow to make it realistic, instead of the usual one person no one cares too much about dies, the people that died all had a nice effect on the story. In all, this is one of the best stories on here, in my opinion.

If this is your first fic, then I'm eager to see your other ones. Well done.

Yes, of course Harry who has been isolated from the wizarding world for a decade randomly decides Gryffs are foolhardy.

Fucking retard of an author.

wow...you have essentially turn the Harry Potter books on its head by sorting him in Ravenclaw and throw out everything in-between..heh. at first all i read was HP/GW but that grew tiresome and begin to read other shipping and one of my favorite(s) so far are HP/HG and as of now HP/DG...just sad that gems like this are so well hidden unless you know where to look

well...THAT was a rather interesting first year...don't think i've ever read a more peculiar story quite like this though so it's something new..

enojoyed it... like the dumbledore you portray

Loved it! Your Dumbledore and Voldemort makes SO MUCH more since than canon-one! And all this for a nice ending, a realistic one. And felicitation to have the guts to off some characters, main ones at that and mentally scarring the survivors (I must be a sadistic asshole...). It makes all the story much more realistic and makes us feel for the characters (in other terms, the distress of the characters increase the interest of the story... there's something wrong here...).

Well it's late here so I'll stop ranting about the awesomeness and realism of your story and go to bed. Hope you'll write some more!

Amazingly written! I can't believe you killed Sirius and Dumbledore though.

That's how Snape's death should have been in most stories, including canon.

OK, wait, why does Volde trust Snape more now than before his fall? Really not seeing the logic.

Contrary to what some think: it's not that Snape is more important than Harry. It's that his position would be lost and Harry would arguably be little or no safer after the fact. This is, of course, assuming that Snape is providing valuable information to the Order unlike what seemingly happened in canon.

Snape may canonically be a shit-face but it that doesn't mean he can't be useful. Hopefully this doesn't go into fan wank territory with Snape.

I really liked the overall plot of the story, a really good idea and indeed well written. I would have liked to see harry as a bit more darker and indeed also as a pureblood purist, but that is just a personal preference really. Also i think the political maneuvering could have gone a bit deeper and could have had a greater impact on the story as a whole.
But taking into consideration this was your first real attempt at fanfic writing i say it was a job well done. I will most certainly be looking forward to more of your stories

Personally I like a darker but not evil harry more inner demons type of thing but over all I liked your fanfict alot and it has kept my mind off this cold i have right now overall its better than most fanficts I have read and enjoyed it greatly

Realistic end really... the world in on the path to healing but not quite there yet... lovely fic!

Poor Severus... talk about thanklessness... at least he gets to go on his next great adventure with Albus...
