I found the word-tatterdemalion- Webster's Colligate Dictionary 1946 for the answer.

Well, 'twould seem like he could belong to any of them, though Ravenclaw might be the most stretch (still, given the disincentives to study his home life provides and Ron's slacker nature, you have to wonder). I would think that most abused children would either be wallflowers in Hufflepuff or be some cunning as to be sorted into Slytherin.

His musings do suggest an interesting AU, with Draco sorted into Gryffindor and Harry sorted into Slytherin. That could make for a most interesting alternate story.

Kkkkk... Só o Sev mesmo pra ter uma mente tão fixa. E aí? Tem continuação? Alguns capítulos extras talvez?

I liked this.

I really like this. I love Severus. He's such a great character, and I like the way you've written him. Great job with this. :)

Brilliant story! Very well-written. I would like to see what happens next, but you did give some hints through Poppy, enough to use my own imagination :) Thank you.

silly sev you just go ask the hat or him. XD

Good story keep up the good work

This was lovely! I enjoyed the ending with Poor Severus, who never did figure it out, but I am glad that he was able to help Harry in the end. I hated that Albus had to wear him out with a scolding and all that, while he was only trying to help, but it was a very realistic detail and I just had to comment and mention it. Great story. Great writing! I absolutely adored it.

I have a suspicion that if Harry lived up to his full potential, he'd be a good Ravenclaw.

Still, you must know that the Headmaster would never want you to be treated in this manner."

-Yeah, right. That's why Dumbledore keeps sending him back, and covers up the physicals that Poppy makes of Potter. And of course Minerva never castigates herself for missing the signs and not doing her duty.

But I am surprised that Snape didn't remember what he saw during the Occlumency lessons earlier.

Interesting but I so don't buy that Harry altered his records...

Very well written.

You better continue or else ... :-)

LOVED it! Well done!
