I love the flashbacks. I want to know how Harry came to be the person he is now. Also about Harry not caring about the Potters, I think part of it is that even though the Potters did sarafice themselves for Harry, he has grown up around superheros who have done something like that almost everyday. He is use to people saraficing themsevles to save others. Never having known his parents, he can't form emotional ties to this act because he is use to it. I don't think he is being disrepectful to them. It is just that he does not know them and he has had a great life with Tony and maybe he doen't want to disrespect Tony by fawning over what his parents did. Tony didn't have to take him in and show him love and adopt him, but he did it anyway. I think that is how Harry views things, but I could be wrong.
I just want to know are you going to do all seven years?
Author's response
- I think the consensus is that the Flashbacks stay.
- It's not that Harry doesn't care about the Potters, it's that he doesn't know the Potters. He has no conscious memories of them, and his only memories of being a Potter were not pleasant ones. Since he managed to form his relationship with Tony Stark (who rescued him the way Dumbledore intended too) he has no idealized impressions of the James and Lilly, and since, at least to his POV the story everyone knows about the night they died is such utter nonsense, he doesn't even feel the guilt that canon Harry feels for their deaths
- Assuming that interest is maintained (yours and mine), yes I want this story to run through all seven years, though I'm not sure that Tommy will last that long.
