I love the different start and Harry being a beast-speaker but why didn't he bring his cat friend who just seemed to drop out of the story? BTW, exactly how old was Harry when he got out of the closet and into a room? How long has he been practicing his magic and had Tom's memories? I like the change of house for the cannon characters and putting in OC's. I also thought with a school that size that there could easily have been at least 300 kids per level, they just need more teachers. Also if their were really so few they would bred themselves out of existence without a reasonable size population.
