  I have read this story several times and greatly enjoyed it each time and will probably read it again eventually. Every time I reread the fist chapter I wonder if you ever thought of writing it with Harry possessing his aunts body instead.

  I have, but I never liked any scenarios. I just couldn't get into Harriet's head

  I have read several of your stories and have to give some hopefully helpful general critics.
  There's no doubt that you're really good in creating a logical background of the harry potter universe and are able to create a logical plot based on these developed guidelines.
  BUT your stories don't feel in any way involving because of several reasons I think.
  
  1) Instead of using a 3rd person view
  what somebody does a lot of times
  you should tell it through the actions of
  the person.
  It just reads like an info dump that way
  which doesn't allow the reader to immerse
  into the story.
  2) Probably related to 1)
  Your characters are mostly flat as the
  stories are too clinical and patronizing.
  There's no real emotion/drama involved
  because of 1)
  You create these through actions by the
  the characters and not by telling what
  the characters did do.
  3) Your action scenes lack any real
  depth. JBern(though mostly 1st person)
  and the Stranger Triology by
  serpent_sorcerer are probably the
  reference here.
  4) I know we're here on the smut harry potter
  portal but all these harem relationships
  don't really help these stories to immerse
  the reader. I can see that harems may
  make sense in the harry potter society
  from a logical viewpoint.
  But a good novel's main purpose
  shouldn't be to create some logical
  universe but an universe which convinces
  the reader.
  
  As you said you're a history professor and
  to be blunt, your stories match exactly the
  style you would expect for history books.
  But that just doesn't make a good novel which captures the attention of the reader.
  
  Please don't take this badly as you're really
  good in the society detail aspects of your
  stories but i feel you waste your potential
  with your current style to really write a great novel.
  
  Regards

  Great story, though a bit dry in some places. I'm glad you didn't make Severus a bad character; he's my favorite. Anyway, loved the story.

  I loved this story. I've read many twin fics and even more time travel ones but I've never seen them combined. Very original!

  It's very good and original (if somewhat patronising at times).

  Incredibly great story. Nice and original, since I haven't found many stories where Harry interacts with his family like this
