Thank God for a non BWL Harry who is not ignored/unloved/badly treated etc by his parents. That alone would make me eager to read more, but this fic has much more to offer than that if the subsequent chapters live up to the promise of this first chapter. Thank you!

BTW there was a typo that slipped by you here:

"I think I should go to the House that will compliment me best." She determined smartly.

I'm sure you know anyway, but just in case you do not:

The word 'compliment' but with the meaning you seem to intend here should be spelled 'complement'. That is; it is a 'compliment' when someone says, for example, 'you have pretty hair' but 'complement' when the meaning is that of something being made complete by the addition of something else.

Fun story, I found it through a recommendation on Seel'vors yahoo group, and I'm glad I took a look at it. I don't enjoy angst fests, so this was a breath of fresh air!

Looking forward to more

This has started out to be a great story. Excellent work.

Rather enjoyable, though I don't understand why he doesn't just go talk to his sister.

Really a fun story. I hope you continue to find new ways to bend and twist the canon. Excellent start to the twins-who-lived cliche...

A wrong-boy-who-lived that isn't a total angst-fest? Whatever will they think of next?

Found this on a fic-rec at Caer Azkaban (I think)... good stuff!

The perfect crime is one that goes undiscovered.

Really liking the setup of things, with Harry being the perfect Slytherin. Well, both Harry and Mell seem to be a little bit too mature for 11 year olds, but growing up in isolation goes a bit towards explaining that.

This is a great story! I really like Camellia and Lily, and a real Slytherin Harry is always enjoyable to read. Your James seems fun if a little too immature and childish to be an auror, but I suppose he can be serious when he needs to be. I especially liked his letter to Harry.

I'm looking forward to more updates from you,

As someone else who is sick and tired of fics where Harry is neglected by James and Lily (if not outright abandoned) while his sibling is a stupid, spoiled brat as nasty as Draco Malfoy, but nobody (including Lily and James) notices because he/she is the Boy/Girl Who Lived (is it really that hard to imagine that Lily and James could be good parents if Harry had a sibling-who-lived?), I was very interested in this story. So far it looks very good.

Things I particularly like: Camellia's friendship with Hermione, Harry's humiliations of Draco (both because it's funny, and because it shows that he really cares for her despite the fact that they don't spend much time together), Mrs. Norris thinking of Filch as her servant (you know you've got it bad when even your cat thinks of you as a servant).

Curious about: Harry's hinted at plans, Acacia Moon's role, whether Hermione and Harry will become friends or not, what's going to happen with the Stone.

Great chapter! I love how Harry dealt with Malfoy after hurting his sister. Also, turning his trap against him was brilliant. hehehe

This is a fantastic story so far. I love all four Potters so far, to the extent that it's hard to choose a favorite. Hope to see more soon!

nice hope this isn't slash though with zabini

Funny. And well written.

Wow!m Your story is really great! I'm not a huge fan of James but i like him in this story!

I love your Harry, Hermione and Harry's sister (really good too, i like her character). I love lily too . Your story is one of the few who makes me laught!

I like the friendship betwen Harry and Blaise ( i'm not a huge fan od draco and always wonder when people wrote him like he is so intelligent (herehe is like i think he is))

"I don't know about her son, but if you ever feel like he's trying to seduce you with the intent to kill you and take your fortune, don't be afraid to back out. It's not a problem if he's after Mell, except the whole killing thing, because she's the younger child. You're the heir.": those sentences are so funny! I think that those sentences will be on the profile of a lot of people.

I'm very much liking it so far. It's much more interesting than many I've read lately and I hope you feel up to writing more.
