I've read this story more than once, and for some reason, I really like it. It is very, very moving with what happens in this story.
Once you think about it, Rowling pretty much says child abuse is okay in her books (even though it might've been unintentional), Albus leaves a child on a doorstep, knowing Jame's sister-in-law hates her sister (Lilly), and magic in general. Albus seems to think that they would love their nephew, doesn't check on him, and leaves him to "10 dark years", as he admits in the books. Albus clearly doesn't care for the child, even though he makes Harry think he does, simply because Harry's a naive, trusting fool who doesn't really use his brain a lot, then makes friends with 2 other idiots and doesn't really befriend anyone else in the school.
I'd really like to read what happens to Albus, and the Durseley's, but I guess you never got around to posting it. Oh well.
Author's response
I'm glad you liked the story. It was most difficult to write.
To like a story the first time one reads it, is good, to like it after reading it several times, is the best.
I agree with your assessment of Albus 'I'm never wrong' Dumbledore. He is is convinced of his omniscience, he is unwilling to listed to anybody else's opinions.
He either didn't care n the slightest what happened to his pawns, or he was a naive fool.
I did write a second part, posted on FicWad. It's called 'Discovery Revisited(the butterfly effect) and while a bit rambling, it does follow give an idea of the aftermath of little Harry's death.
