*whistles* Dumbledore has to be furious at how some of the trials have turned out and with how he has been effectively neutered from affecting punishments. I reckon being powerless like that is something he has well earned.
Okay, this latest chapter moves matters along nicely while covering a number of items. I daresay that an in-depth dig into Dumbledore's background is going to turn up some interesting items. Of course, the information could be fed to a suitable reporter (Rita Skeeter?) rather than coming from the various Houses in blood fued. Methinks Albus Dumbledore is going to find himself more and more backfooted as time goes by.
Happy New Year to you !!!!!!!! you made mine when I saw the update :):):):)...love it when a plan starts take place....nice to see how this family are showing that they are smarter than Dumbbledork!!!!!! thansk again :):):)

Ch. 1
Very interesting start! I like the change in Petunia's character, and that she grieves for Lily and wants to keep in touch with Harry. How is Callidora related to Augusta Longbottom, Neville's grandmother? I like Callidora; she will see that Sirius doesn't spend twelve years in Azkaban and is thinking of details that are usually forgotten, such as the Potters' burial site and that their belongings from Godric's Hollow are taken care of. She's a sharp lady!
Harkin?? That's different! Makes a change from all the Harrisons and Hadrians I often see. I don't really understand why so many authors feel the need to change Harry's name, but so be it. *shrug* Not a criticism, just a comment.
"'We need to make sure that Harry goes to where we want him to go and not where Dumbledore thinks will keep him humble and malleable,' she said to her husband as she kept moving about the parlor."
That last part - the humble and malleable bit - kind of bothers me. Lily made the jump from merely mistrusting Dumbledore to guessing his plan for Harry without any visible evidence. Because it is a common theme in fanfics, your readers are familiar with it, but why did Lily make that assumption? Maybe that will be explained in future updates; if so, feel free to ignore my comment, lol.
I spotted a couple of typos:
// . . . When the elderly form of the wizard disappeared, green eyes hardened as they watched the man disparate from view.//
Disapparate, not disparate.
//"'Someplace where he’ll be trained to take up the mantel of Lord Potter and fit into society,” James agreed, looking thoughtful. . . .//
