Another brilliant work DrT. I almost thought you'd abandoned the Potterverse, its good to see myself wrong. By chance do you post on fanfiction.net,
Its difficult to keep track of your writings.
Keep the chapters coming

The entire chapter was an infodump. And again, if the "struggle" between Harry and Dumbledore/Voldemort was likened to a chess game, Dumbledore would start as a black king with all his pieces missing and himself in check while Harry would start with eight queens. Do you think that makes for an interesting match?Author's response
If that were the key to the story, you'd be right. If that's what you're reading the story to find, stop now and save your time for some story you'd like moreYOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU ASK FOR

Hmm, a nicely done chapter, combining a whole lot of information with enough action to keep things moving. It'll be interesting to see how some parties react to the prohibition on both "mudblood" and "puree", though the later sounds like a description of what the Deez will be like when Harry finishes with them. I think he's definitely got the attention of both Dumbles and Snape, now to see if either or both has the intellgence to live within those strictures. I "almost" have to feel sorry for Ron as he'll be finding out just how good this new Harry is if his jealousy takes control this time.YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU ASK FOR

Good chapter. I like Snape, Malfoy and often Dumbledore bashing. I also like the author to provide enough information to let us in on his frame of reference. Thanks for writing. W.YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU ASK FOR

Found a small typo. "...their alleged subtly.” should be "...
their alleged subtlety.” Yes, the Slytherins, especially the Death-Nibblers, do need to learn that now that things are quite as wide open for them as they were in canon.

allons mes enfants.....
the fun is just beginning to start....dumbles knows he's in deep, deep kimchi....
i do expect snape to be killed off sooner rather than later....his ego and temper guarantee it....
and what is the "puree" reaction going to be when they go out in the muggle world and see a "no parking" sign.....roflmao....Author's response
Obviously, those Muggles know more about the magical world than the Ministry has let on!YOU DON’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU ASK FOR

I just want to say YES YES YES YES YES. Finally someone gets Snape where it hurts. YES. Okay, now I am going to re-read the chapter to get all the nuances of it. This is a great story so far - I love your interpretations of the Potterverse.
