It\'s your story! She\'s your character! You keep the name if you like it! IF you want to change it fine, but I don\'t have a problem w/ her name! As for the sorting I\'m hoping she\'s Slytherin because it would help in bonding S w/ w/ his daughter! Plus, it would serve Hermione right for being so selfish about \"her\" daughter! Hello, she didn\'t even give him a choice to claim the child! I get so frustrated when women lay claim to \"their\" child when the man doesn\'t even know about the child in the first place. It\'s one thing if he knows and he turns his back on his responsiblilities, but he didn\'t know so throwing the DNA thing in his face was not a fair thing to do! And the girl is not a peice of property. Hermione is treating her the same way as Snape! SHAME ON BOTH OF THEM Sel Selinus is a human being and she\'s 11 yrs. old she can make up her own mind. I think they both need to respect her choice to keep whatever name she likes.

I also have to say that I was an only child raised by a mother w/ a father who to this day does not know that I exist. While I may be passed the point of wanting to find the man now at 11 yrs. old I thought about what the man who helped conceive me was like all the time. I would have had A LOT of questions for him! She didn\'t ask him any questions about what type of family he was from and whether he was ever married, if he had any other kids he new of or if there could be another kid he didn\'t know about, was he disappointed she was a girl and not a boy, why was it important to him that she have his last name, what made him interested in potions, why didn\'t he look for her mother when she disappeared. Most 11 yr. olds are far more inquisative! There was way too much Hermione/Snape and not enough between Snape and Selinus, but other then that it was a good chapter and I look forward to the next!

Don\'t change her name! Absolutely not! It\'s as unique as each of her parents\' names! And I think it would help with the bonding if she were sorted into Slytherin. I vote Slytherin.

I think she should be in Slytherin to give Snape more of a chance to build his relationship with her. If I were you I would change the name back to the feminine form because it jars a little with any one who knows any classical history. I am looking forward to seein where you take it next.

Okay, some people may not agree with me here but I think Hermione is being a jerk. First I totally unerstand why she felt the need to keep quite while Voldemort was still alive and the few years after while the scattered Deatheaters were being rounded up, but there is no excuse for her not to have said something to Severus after that. The man was upset and had every right to be, this secret had been kept from him. He is confronted with the fact that he has a daughter. He went to meet her and of course him being how he is wants to legally make her a Snape. Hermione has no right to be so curt to him. Didn\'t she want him to show some interest innolenoledging this is his daughter. I can understand Selenus\' reaction because she just met him. But I also fault Hermione in this as apparently she has only recently decided to tell her daughter who her father was. Her daughter obviously knows nothing of her parents relationship and should at least be told something.

I can\'t see it, I just can\'t. I don\'t feel sorry for Hermione at this juncture as I think she had done things incorrectly. Even if she would have come to him 6years ago or maybe 5 or 4 or even 3, but she comes to him now not because she wanted to not really. As she stated she really wanted to just stay in America. Does this mean that had she not be asked to return to Hogwarts Severus would have never known he had a daughter? I think she should at least apologize to the man for Christs sake. They didntelltell the man he had a daughter for 12 years, that\'s not something small and everyone is acting like its no dealdeal.

Sorry, this isn\'t a flame towards you. You are doing a fantastic job writing this and you are probably wanting some reaction. I just hope you don\'t set Hermione up as the poor single mother who had to raise her child without his father. She\'s not, at least that\'s not how I\'m reading this. And no one else has any right to berate Severus for 1. not being in her life and 2. being so disturbed about this.

BTW, I forgot to mention. I think she should be sorted in Slytherin. At least that way Severus could have the opportunity to do some bonding with her. Also knowing that those people who had kept Selenus a secret from Severus would want to have her sorted into Gryffindor or really anywhere other than Slytherin the then see her in Slytherin would be a nice kick in the pants. LOL, can you tell I\'m rooting for Severus in this story?

Pearle, love your style of writing. Seems to me (you naughty woman) that you have already finished several chapters.
How often are you planning to update? No pressure, just a little nudge. You got me hooked because you\'ve kept Severus in character. I love a snarky Snape. Your writing is uncluttered and precise. You\'ve fleshed out your characters in a very believable way. And kept them true to form. Kudos.

You have Snape pegged as far as I\'m concerned...wow. I can\'t wait to read more! The flow you have built up with the flash back is great. Tension is building...Bring it on!

I\'m a sucker for a \'Severus you and I have a child\' fic, so naturally I love this story! I\'m thrilled I came across it! And I can\'t wait for an update! Write on!

Good story. I look forward to meeting his \"offspring\". HA! Please post soon.

I really enjoyed the first chapter of your story! I love your particular style of writing and can\'t wait to read more! Keep up the excellent work! :-)
