Wow, that was so beautiful and so sad, I think suicide is a real possibility for Harry after all he's been through, even if J.K doesn't include it because it's a "childrens story". Assuming he doesn't die killing Voldemort anyway.....oh, I'm supposed to be reviewing. Great story, I was nearly in tears, I hope to be able to read more of your poignant works soon. :)

i thought the little boy would turn out to be snape!great story-i love it

Wow, I'm not much of a Harry/Hermione shipper, but that was really great. Well done - you have a real talent! P.S: Thanks for the review!

Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it either way. =) Thanks again.
Hehe, you're very welcome. Your story's fantastic.

Wow that story was brilliant!I can't wait to see snape attempting to be a daddy!Looking forward to no. 2!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

That was a BRILLIANT ending!Wow - I loved the whole story,I can't believe it's over.Absolutley brilliant-well done.

Author's Response: Thank you! I didn't want to give the story a proper concrete ending, because I never do like endings that tie everything up. And I wanted to show a possible reason for Snape's anger towards Neville (Neville was his responsibility and, as far as Snape can see, he wasn't worth the trouble) and his hatred of Harry (Harry took away Snape's chance of redemption). I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Wow I loved that chapter.dumbledore is just so cool-I love him!

Hey, I've just re-read the fic as it's one of my favorites out of my favorites, and I had ot review again to tell you how amazing it is! I have absolutely no criticism, I loved it. And I did begin to cry, which I rarely do for a story, so you know it's well written! It's just such a pity you don't have more reviews, you deserve them. 10/10 definitely.

OMG THAT WAS SOOOO FUNNY!!!!! I laughed out loud when Snape was wondering if Harry would kill him on Christmas Day, and I practically burst when I saw what the tee-shirt said - excellent, well done!

O.K erikthephantom, here it goes. This is it, my review for the entire story!( I hope you get to read it as it's quite long and wow you have so many reviews...see? I'm rambling, please forgive me.) Anyway, this story, wow was it good. I'll have you know that I was on this site everyday checking to see if you'd updated instead of doing my assignments! Let the reviewing begin.......... I loved it from start to finish,10 out of 10 and I don't often give that. I felt like I was reading Rowling ( siriusly...) I thought the conversations between Remus and Snape were extremely well written and realistic, I'm sure something like that could have easily happened. The whole thing started to go wierd in A Place To Bond, but my confusion ended by the end of the chapter and I thought it was really well done - it drew the reader in. My absolute favorite chapter was 17-Freedom - I loved it, I keep reading it over and over, the emotions are so well expressed, you can really feel their pain. It's great to see Remus like that sometimes. I loved the chapter summary conversations, they were hilarious! I loved Sirius taking points off himself - I was on the floor laughing at that! I think getting Lily and James together was very nicely done, the way you did it makes so much sense. It was great when Sirius and Remus banded together to kick James' ass when they saw him with Bethany. McGonagall was so funny the way she was so angry at Sirius' prank! (Dear God this is a bloody list, not a review, you must be so bored). Your characterisation was perfect, you captured everyone just.....perfectly! The NEWTS were well done, except that the Polyjuice Potion takes a month to brew...but who remembers everything? I certainly don't, I've forgotten my next point. Oh yeah...you set up really good grounds for Sirius feeling that Remus might be the spy, and I loved Moody's bigiotry towards Remus, it gave an insight into how the rest of the world treats werewolves. A strange thing - Remus' eyes kept switching from grey to yellow, did his wolf's eyes come out when he was mad or something? The whole Death Eater invasion - it could have been so easy to screw that up but you kept everyone in character and it tied in well with the story - well done. I loved the end, it was so sad to have James thinking about his future when we know he is going to die in five years. Peter's growing deception was very subtle - nicely done. I almost cried at the end, I loved the emotion so strongly and so clearly felt by all of them. As you may have gathered by now, I loved your fic and I can't wait to read more of your stuff. You truly are an amazing writer, one of my favorites on this site. I could write more, but you're probably asleep by now. Thank you for such a great story, and you're my hero too, erikthephantom.

Author's Response: OK! sorry it took me so long to respond, i wasn't technically allowed on the compy so i had to print your review and read it (it's 1 full page long and that's with less than 1 inch margins). I was not bored AT ALL reading your review. As a matter of fact i was extremely pleased with its thoroughness. I was so happy that you waited until the end, I thought it was so much more pleasing for me to read it. Plus, as I said, it was so thorough. :) Chapter 17 is actually one of my all time favorite chapters, too. It actually used to be my least favorite when I wrote it. I thought it was terrible because nothing really substantial happened and it was short. As I reread it, (and i did MANY times) it really grew onto me. THat is basically the feel of the sequel so far. More of that feeling and less of the structure. im really happy you liked peter's subtle change, that makes me happy coz i really wanted to work that in somehow, even if he doesnt actually betray them until the last year of their lives, or the first year of harry's (quite ironic if you think about it). i cant BELIEVE i forgot about the polyjuice potion!!! im going to remedy that in my sequel somehow, i dont know how, but i will! And I'm honored the way you viewed Moody's bigotry. There's more to it than is just the surface. And "A Place to Bond" HA I think I weirded everyone out with that one, but it was actually necessary to the plot and, (if i may say so myself ;) ) a reative way of figuring out the spy's identity. Well, at least the first way. I'm really glad you liked the summary convos - i LOVED writing them, i had an absolute BLAST doing it each time. i think i'll have to read them again...and about Remus's eyes: that was a typographical mistake. i had originally had his eyes as the color grey. this was changed for 2 reasons. 1) i found out that wolves have yellow eyes, and i really locked on to that idea when i saw a fanart picture and 2) Sirius has grey eyes. I tried to go back and fix as much as I could, but it was getting lengthy and hard to completely change. I'll have to work on that. his werewolf eyes DID show through, but the color thing was a mistake in the typing. I really appreciate how closely you paid attention and how thorough this review was and, again, how you waited in the end so you were impartial. :) THANK YOU AND YOURE MY SUPERHERO!

Waiting................waiting..............still waiting................AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Author's Response: why dont we all sing the old heinz ketchup theme song: ANTICIPATION!!! ANTICIPATION IS MAKING ME WAIT!! sirius: she's really lost it this time... remus: yep. she definitely has...
