First - if someone is rude, remember you are producing something which they are consuming free of charge: the worst they should do is stop reading. Remember that reviewers who insult/degrade the author are usually lazy and can't write for themselves. Writing a fic for the first time is hard, as I can well attest to.
Second - Like to see Tonks standing up for Harry. Your portrayal of Snape was a bit off in my opinion, in that I think he would never get in to a 'but she started it' shouting match with Tonks. Say what you will about the greasy grit, he is smart.
Third - Some cliches are needed, but try not to overload. So perhaps, no phoenix animagus, no marriage contracts, etc.
You have the possibility for a very good story; keep at it. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Thank you! It's nice to see that there are still people out there who can still be nice and polite! I'm glad your enjoying my fic, and I agree - I won't go overboard on cliches - I just use the ones that I need to tell the story!
Snape is a little off, but I am getting better I think! I agree, I like the way Tonks played out!
I'm sorry if I came over as excessive, but thanks for standing up for me! It's been a really hard few days, personal life - guy troubles :( - and exams, I've been under a lot of stress! Writing has been a relief, but it's no fun if people are rude!
Thanks again for the review, and for being polite!
