  One glaring typo, "...I can protect myself for her..." should be "...I can protect myself from her..."
  
  Beyond that, it was a good wrap up. I reckon Severus earned the ending he got and I don't shed a tear; though I do feel sorry for Alastor since he now has much reduced prospects and I wonder how good his remaining protections are. The end of Voldemort was beautiful and I love that the wizarding world will never know that Harry did it.
  
  The final sequence where Ginny Finnegan finds them was a nice touch, particularly with them finding it possible to do wandless magic to a scary degree. It's going to be rather interesting if the wizarding world encounters them again and comes off rather the worse because of this.
  
  I will agree with others that finding out just who ripped him off and seeing those perps punished would be nice; mayhaps this can be accomplished in a sequel if your muse is cooperative.

  I liked this story tremendously, although the occasional minor grammar or spelling mistakes did detract from the ease of reading, for example "to" vs "too" and Seamus' name is spelled just that. I liked the accuracy of your geography for placing the bases and general attention to detail.
  
  I do find myself hoping for an eventual sequel to answer some of the open issues such as justice for the people who robbed baby Harry and, hopefully, happy lives for the chasers who educated Hermione at Hogwarts. Did Harry remain just a cook or did he get a muggle education? Or Hermione? How bad did things get in the Wizarding world after Dumbledore permitted the obliviation of muggleborns?
  
  In the end, it is the persistence of these questions that stand as testimony to the quality of the story, if it was a mediocre story no one would care what happened next.

  As an addendum, I agree with Tim and hope your muse comes back to allow you to finish "Motorcycle"; there's so much fun yet to be had there, especially since Harry has non-magical resources the Order (or whatever Dumbledore's minions, carrying on his plan, are called) have no idea of, let alone what magical and related resources Harry actually has. Personally, though, if I was Harry in that situation, I'd be tempted to say "Your mess, your clean-up!"

  Was this a re-post? The reason I ask is I read the other chapters last year but the two dates for the story the update date and the published date are the same.Great story by the way!

  your amusement was mine as well. I enjoyed the story - I thought the change in names was well executed and logical. The wandless magic did come out of the blue.
  
  Just goes to show you not to piss off the cook ;D

  Cool story, though I was waiting for them to kick Dumb's ass for stealing Harry's gold ...

  As michae1ange1o pointed out, the switch from Harry/Hermione to Jim/Jane was far less problematic than the constant switches between Robertson/Robinson.
  
  Good fic regardless.

  I did like this story for the most part. I was a bit annoyed at how all the pieces of shit seemed to get away with thier crimes, robbing harry, the abuse and obliviation of muggleborns, etc. But then I just hate to see injustice.
  
  The only real complaint was you switched back and forth between robertson, and robinson for their last name, often from one paragraph to the next. I can understand not liking beta readers who voice opinions on content or plot, but a proof reader would still be helpful I think. Just to check for spelling, grammar or name consistency.

  One of the more offbeat stories I've read. Pretty good actually. There were a few things that fell into place after the story was essentially complete. The whole horcrux thing was neatly avoided, which was good. I would have liked to have seen what happened to Umbridge and the other teachers.
