I really really hope the Potters don't win in this. Please make them not win. Let things go good for Harry and Severus. PLEASE!!!

When Harry heard a woman crying when faced with dementors, I played with the idea that perhaps her family (namely Petunia) took Harry and told Lily that he was stillborn or something to that effect. However, given that Lily did recognize Harry has her long-lost son, that seemed a bit off but I still couldn't imagine her abandoning a baby in an alleyway. I have to wonder at her being in Griffindor as she is obviously such a coward. She should have at least told James her suspicions before this and while I know that postpartum depression is a real thing (though it takes more than a few hours to develop), that wasn't the reason she abandoned Harry. She abandoned him because she was scared and selfish and rather than take ownership of her mistake, she is continuing to think only of herself rather than think of her son. I do feel for James but given how John has turned out, I think Harry is much better off with Severus.

Severus is now reaping some bitter fruit grown through careless words. It seemed strange to me that Harry knew about what happened with James Potter and Black at such a young age. I felt it was an inappropriate story to tell such a young child but then again, Severus was really just a wounded child himself when he found Harry and Dumbledore didn't help matters with some of the comments he has made. Still, it is so obvious that he loves Harry dearly and I'm sure that they will be able to work through this and come out stronger on the other side.

Poor Harry! It's always poor Harry though. I'm glad you got Draco to throw in a few things about John that boy disgusts me, I don't understand people sometimes. I mean yeah I'd be upset if I had a brother I didn't know about - I have three already and that's more then enough - but I wouldn't go beating them up even if they were my worst enemy. And I'm really glad you let Harry have his angry moment, it's just do fun to see him fired up when he's usually such a gentle person - in your story at least. And Snape taking him in alone at eighteen like Lily couldn't - just oh I loved it - seriously my favourite chapter so far even beating the smut and I do love me some smut. I can't wait for your next chapter!!!

Wow, emotional and harsh! The excuse is a common one, but I'd have to agree with Harry; leaving an infant alone in an alley is horrid. Using the excuse "18 and alone" makes it worse, she deserved those harsh words. James wanting to act like his parent, oh he has no right; glad Harry saw that. I hope Jonathan got in trouble for fighting in the school, probably just detentions, but it has to be at least a months worth, right? Now hopefully Harry knows Sev and the others are there for him and won't abandon him. Another wonderful chapter, keep up the good work, I await the next chapter!

Stupid James!!!! Poor Harry! First to get beaten up by his brother and now manhandled by his sire.

I NEED MOAR!!!! *sigh* I very reluctantly clicked on this story, and towards the begining and in parts, I haven't been fond of it. But I'll be damned if I'm not totally addicted, and if this isn't one of the best written stories I've read. Especially with the last 7-10 chapters I've been completely hooked, I've been reading for the last 14 hours solid, so I hope that's proof :-) I haven't read until now but see this story on the newly updated feed pretty often so I'm excited for the newest update.

One thing that I sorta hope does happen story wise is that eventually Harry can learn to forgive Lilly. I know it's a long shot, but the post partum condition you mentioned is very real, and can be very serious. I just get the feeling if Harry can see that and is given time he could heal enough to not hate his real family. I could see Lupin acutally talking to Harry, assuring him that his parents have flaws, etc etc but are actually good people. Kind of the way he helped Harry with the way he saw his father in JKR's books. However it doesn't seem to be going in that direction and you mentioned you already have the story written, so I'm not getting my hopes up, lol.

AMAZING chapter! Please please update soon!

I cried! Oh God, I cried! Pure drama!
I wanna see his talking with Severus now. It's gonna be touching.
Kisses.

Well it finally hit the fan. I have to say Lily dissapointed me. The saftey of the child should be the only reason you give up a child. There is no reason for him to feel any attachment to her. I thought their might have been one but nope. I feel bad for James. I hope he and Harry can at least get to know each other. I know Harry is upset right now but I think they could form something, even friendship. I don't know how Johnathan and Violet will react though. Great chapter. It was very emotional.

Poor Harry. I was so sad when Harry said how her felt about being abandoned. Severus must be hurting from hearing that. I feel for James also because he didn't know about Harry. Stupid Lily.
