  Yay! A new chapter of this story!
  
  I'm glad to see Harry taking action with his knowledge, and I'm, of course, thrilled to see Harry smack the snot out of Snivelus.
  
  Thanks for the update

  Great chapter. I'm liking this story so far. That is one of the best smack downs of Snape I've seen in a while.

  A most interesting chapter. I will agree with Jearom that you wrote one of the best smack-downs of Snape that I've read recently. This chapter was very interesting, both from the discussions among Harry's friends and for the discussions in Dumbledore's office. Methinks a lot of folk are going to be horribly surprised at just how knowledgeable and adamant this Harry is going to be. 'Twill be very interesting to find out just where Harry was and what he did during those four hours. Somehow I suspect he's been collecting and cleaning a few artifacts. The coming "discussion" in Dumbledore's office promises to be most interesting.

  Getting even better, a more 'Dirty' Harry here.
  
  Yet he keeps his friend close. I hope to see how the Order And Dumbles will handle this more authoritative and powerful Harry!
  
  Been reading Rosenblat's reunion and I hope to see both stories keep their quality!

  P.S. I hope you can work some of those Lines from the Dirty Harry Movies! Might be fun to See how the readers react!

  Ah, it´s always nice reading somethoíng thats twists HP differently from anything you´ve read before. Particularily when it´s so competently twisted.

  If this is a three-chapter story and Harry's friends are still completely oblivious to what's going on - pending their learning Occlumency, which will take some time - I'm wondering about the goal of this story, how you're going to wrap it up in just one more instalment. Well, I guess I'll find out soon enough.
  
  While I thought the kids decisions to 'follow Harry Potter' was a bit sudden and quick - like maybe your other stories (I love the early scene in Dumbledore's Army but still feel that that, too, was overly brief) - I still appreciate that a bit of deliberation and deduction was put into it this time around. Luna's 'treating Harry like a tool' conclusion, Hermione's realisation that Sirius is a Harry!biased adult. Even Hermione's hope that following Harry won't estrange her from her authority figures was good. Hmm, maybe my first impression that the group's decision to 'follow Harry' was hasty was unjustified? I think ... it's the "I WILL FOLLOW HARRY POTTER" statement - quite melodramatic - without their really knowing what Harry is doing, which makes me feel antsy. Hmmm.

  Since when do 14-16 year olds (or most older people for that matter) think such things through?
