In a lot of ways this was the worst thing Harry could due to her.You Should Have Known

Heh, this was nicely done with Harry's action much like the advice to "do good to those who persecute you for in doing so you will heap burning coals upon their head". She's got to, now, contrast the care and help shown her by the boy she horribly mistreated with the neglect shown by her own son whom she spoiled. I suspect she's going to be discomfitted greatly for some time.You Should Have Known

very nicely done, and yes, i think Harry would have at least kept an eye out for any danger against the his aunt or future nieces and nephews...
looking forward to more oneshots from you.

wow. She's just so pitiful, and it's tragic in its own way.
AND, I can't rate this any higher, and I refuse to negatively rate this. SO... two thumbs up and a Hug.You Should Have Known

I really liked this fic. I always like the stories of Harry returning to Privet Drive, but this one was definitely unique.You Should Have Known

You did a very good job at handleing a potentially messy situation.
I tip my hat to you for the maturity Harry shows in the story, while at the same time seeing how Petunia can't get past the way she viewed Harry while he was in her home.
Harry was offering her a olive branch to reconnect with him as family, to get to know him now, with his wife and children. It was the right thing to do on Harry's part.
But what does she do? In the end, just look out the window and wait for her Dudley.
How painful will it be when she realizes she's wasted her whole life for something that will never come about, when she could have felt love and acceptance from Harry and his family in the waining years?
Good story.

A wonderful read. Not over the top vengence but a touch of animosity all the same. Yet the whole is very true to Harry's character. By showing her kindness he's making her face the truth of her own's son's cruelity. The hollowness of her own drive for normalacy was revealed by a simple question. And those twin revelations will rub raw for a long time.
Thank you for posting.
