I really hope one day you finish this story as its amazing! Please update!

Wow...intense and super descriptive

I thought the last event of the GOF took place towards the end of May? I've just looked it up, it was 24th June, so how is Voldemort newly restored on Walpurgisnacht? sorry, does not compute. The 30th April is before June.

This is a very interesting fiction you have written and logical one. Please come up with more chapters as soon as possible.

Sad that this isn't finished, it was really enjoyable to read. I like what you did with the characters. Though in regards to accuracy, Snape did not protect Harry from Remus, he was unconscious at the time. (Was this the movie version you meant) But Harry probably did inadvertently save him from the Dementors that night. Snape has always wanted to protect Harry but he never was particularly good at it until Voldemort returned and he was able to spy. That he was superb at, but First Year Snape was kind of a hot mess. He failed to stop the broom from bucking, though to be fair probably did slow it down. Knew Quirlll was up to something and basically did nothing. But the effort was there so well done Snape.
Hope this isn't the end to your story since it seems that taking long breaks in between uodates isn't that unusual. Not sure what you decided as far as the whole 'Snape adopts Harry' topic but for what it's worth, I think you shouldn't. Sirius has his flaws but he is Harry's godfather and loves the kid to death, and Harry loves him. That role is his, but that does not mean that Snape can't or shouldn't play a pivotal role as well. Still the man will never truly be father material and needs Harry's guidance as much as Harry needs him. He's a deeply damaged individual in need of far more help than Harry actually does (though your Harry is more insecure and broken than canon) and personally I would like to see a more mentor-based relationship that can eventaully evolve into them being equals based in respect rather than simple pity or protectiveness for the sake of Lily. A father/son relationship would preclude that equality, not to mention negate the very real fact that Snape has far too much to atone for in regards to his treatment of Harry to ever really play that role effectively or truly believablely in spite of all the stories that attempt otherwise. Obviously your choice but since you seemed divided I thought I would weigh in. Sorry for the lengthy reviews but you seem to genuinely like feedback and I'm impressed with your story.

Remus has always been the worst. He is a truly a selish character that contributed nothing to Harry expect the bare minimum, with the exception of teaching him the patronus charm. He never gives Harry the truth. He initially tried to hide the connection to his father, allows a supposed murderer into the castle without telling anyone about the man's animagus form, or about the numerous secret tunnels into the school that he knows that Sirius is aware of. He later encouraged Harry to commit murder (when he tells Harry tnat he should stunned an innocent person and 1000 feet up in the air?) and tries to abandon his unborn son before He's born. We learn that he never stood up against his friends even when he knew that they were wrong which is is just as unforgivable as immature nasty behavior. And now he allows a man to berate Harry when we know that Harry is more likely to go against a direct challenge than listen to a reasoned argument. It's the main reason that Snape/Harry stories are so difficult to make truly believable. The idea the Harry needs a "firm" hand to guide him is ridiculous. We've seen how he reacts to people trying to force his hand, his upbringing at the Dursleys has taught him to fight against any threat against him, but Harry is a smart and caring person. One that craves the respect and approval from the people the cares about because they are so few and far between. If they sat Harry down, explained the danger but more importantly the fact that people would care if he was hurt or killed, Harry would listen. Snape on the other hand only knows how to issue orders. He lacks patience amd people skills. He is completely incapable of actually building silid relationships.
Remus once again, worst person ever. This is no way a criticism of you, I fully expect Remus to always ruin everything and all in the guise that's he's actually a good person and somehow most people will love him afterwards. So basically I'm saying your spot on. Why so many people actually like Remus I will never understand. Maybe if the bloke could have written Harry a single damn letter in four years I might actually believe he cared a bit.

I liked this chapter. I always disagreed with how Dumbledore handled Harry the entire year. Despite the connection, he should have told Harry about the prophesy and then had him go and retrieve it, insuring it never fell into Voldemoetd hands. If he was concerned about Voldemort reading Harry's mind, then don't tell him the exact details but tell him what Voldemort already knows. His lies and cover ups did more damage to Harry emotionally, mentally and eventually physically than telling the truth would have. I also like that it's Sirius that argued on Harry's behalf. Sirius isan often underrated character that is many times given the shaft in fics like these in favor of showing Snape in a better light. As if the only way that Harry can build a relationship with Snape is if Sirius turns out to be a disappointment. It's lazy and simplistic and I'm glad you rose above it.

Nicely constructed chapter. The hints of Snape presence without seeing him were well placed. Good characterization of the Dursleys though I would argue that by this point Harry is a bit more argumentative with them than in years past. Though his agreement may just be easily thing at the moment so I can see where you're coming from.
Also...careful of making Snape too sympathetic because he wouldn't be. He's view of Harry is firmly established in his mind and it will take a lot to break it. More than subtle abuse as the Dursleys are inclined to use. To Snape, Harry would have done something to upset his uncle. The curt, rude attitude would have attributed to the fact that Harry had done something to deserve it . The biggest mistake (in my own opinion of course) that people make with these kind of fics is assuming that ultimately, or underneath all the snark, Snape is a good person. He's not. This is a guy who routinely and viciously bullies eleven year old boys. There's good reason that despite the fact Neville's parents were tortured into insanity, the boy's greatest fear is Snape. Snape did not switch sides out of a sudden attack of conscience- he did it for Lily. Don't get me wrong He's a great character with excellent qualities. He's a highly intelligent and talented wizard, extremely loyal and brave. But not good or compassionate. I hope this story reflects that side of him because honestly a conflicted Snape that comes to learn from his mistakes because of Harry would be an awesome twist and more interesting than a sudden attack of pity from a secret good guy.

There are words missing in some of your sentences and there are a lot of words that are misspelled. Some of the grammar is wrong too.

Well written!

Good chapter. Keep up the good work!

This story is very good! I hope you keep writing it. Thank you!

On like other children Harry is to deny his abuse. Severus will have his work cut out for him.

No offense, but I'd get a beta reader if I were you. This is a good story, but the typos and grammar make it awkward to read in places.

This chapter is just a repeat of the last, just from a different pov-boring. Your story would be better if you didn't repeat yourself. You could of alternated the pov, letting each character tell a part of the story. Keep the timeline flowing in one direction too. Jumping around in time gets a bit irritating to the reader-unless there's a time turner in the stiry. :)
