Neat fic and a great chapter =)
I only found this story yesterday and found myself reading all of the chapters in just two sittings. So to say that I found your fic to be interesting would be a bit of an understatement ;)
I really enjoy your characterizations of everyone, they come of as being very believable and interact well with one another. I especially enjoy how you haven't thrown Harry into the cliche of immediately forgiving his family and automatically becoming best friends with all of his peers.
I do feel a little sorry for your Harry though. I mean you're pounding away at the guy with one tough situation after another ever since he ran into the magical world... but you've managed to do all to him without him going into some angst filled monologue or a CAPSLOCKY rage, so major kudos =)

I really hate everyone in this story but harry, they are all so callous towards him and treat him like shit then turn around and expect him to grovel at their feet. Epecially neville, man what a pounce, his character is so self-centered in a two-faced sort of way that it is incredible he has friends. Also hermione who was/is harry's friend barely acknowledges him and goes to bill's funeral instead? You build up the h/hr relationship but you just toss it aside as soon as it gets interesting. Also you really need to rethink how Harry is going to react when he finally sees everyone again, because the emotions of your characters fell extremely flat, they weren't even close to believeable they seemed more robotic and mandetory then actually realistic.Author's response

I had started this story some time ago but stopped reading, just now I have reread and read all that you have posted. It is quite an enjoyable story and I am looking forward to your next update. I love the rivalry between Harry and Neville, the boy-who-lived-but-is-too-lazy-work and the-squib-who-gained-magic. I wonder if Neville will fully realize that Ron is the main reason for the animosity between him and Harry. Ron is such a jealous prat, he hates Harry for befriending Hermione but is too immature to tell her that he is attracted to her himself.
The scene of Harry clawing his way out of the dirt was nicely written but seems to contradict the scene where he is buried in a mausoleum in the Potter's basement. Hmm, I have a feeling that it has something to do with what happened in the cave, perhaps it wasn't really harry's body that was left behind in that cave-storm?
I also like it that you are redeeming the werewolf DEs but also allowing Snape to be his evil self. I wonder how Remus will react to Harry the wolf lord?
It is a great story, but I also feel that I need to register a complaint. You need to improve your grammar a bit. Your use of commas is making some of your sentences very hard to follow and the way you tend to break clauses apart into sentences around the word 'but' distracts the readers from the story. Do you use a beta reader? If not you might want to consider one. They can be very helpful, I know mine is.
