  Again the good doctor strikes. I like this chapter as it set up quite a bit for the book. It showed Harry's enemies, alllies, and knowledge of personas around him. You set this up very well and I am looking forward to the rest of the fic.

  brilliant so far, i like adding serverus and peter together, that should be interesting. snape will probably not be as slytherin-ish. even though ravenclaw and slytherin have nothing against each other, mutual respect i think. so that won't be too bad. i would have though naricassa would be the one is ravenclaw not snape, but hey.
  
  i liked everything else, Lily sesems the inteligent type, but it not going to flaunt it. the observer. I'm sure Harry and Lily will always be close, how close, well that up to you. look forward to what else you come up with.
  
  look forward to seee classes, and what the slytherins make of Harry. update soon, and congrats.

  I wasn't sure I'd enjoy (as much) a story with Harry a generation removed from his contemporary friends but I quite enjoyed this chapter! To my surprise I guess there's enough about this older generation in canon so as to make them just as interesting. The idea of Harry joining the Maurauders, etc, is very interesting.
  
  Still, will Harry be missing romance in this story? You surely can't pair him up with his mum!!! The genetics should stop him short even if there isn't any emotional or societal reaction against the idea. Plus the whole paradox of wiping himself out of existence. I hope he doesn't overshadow James in Lily's eyes, even by accident.
  
  I remember how, in a previous (Old Believers?) story you had Hermione end up with an older teacher. Who knows, perhaps you'll end up this tale with Harry still watching out for Hermione, although if he's a teacher that would still be a bit evil ... I'll wait and see.
  
  Enjoyable chapter! It would be interesting - maybe even more so - to see a normally-powered Harry in this situation, having to think his way out of conflicts, or rely on the support of his friends - as he has in canon - instead of being able to merely flex his way-beyond-all-others magical might as he can and does do here.

  Author's response

  Henry John (ie Harry) is not genetically related to Lily in any way. As this is an alternate time line, and the other is intact, Harry would prefer there not be another Harry Potter.

  good story, nice to see you point out the, what I would assume to be, main characters in the coming chapters, or atleast the ones that we should have heard about in canon... I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapter :)

  Another great chapter. I like how the characters are appearing, and the roles they are or will be playing is starting to show. I think it might be Harry'
  s chance to 'turn' Lucius towards a diffrent path. Or then again he could become even more bitter and hateful with the loss of his home and 'outting' of his father. It will be interesting to see how you develop his character.

  My enjoyment of this story continues to grow as the tale involves fresh characters and setting to those which formed the basis of your other time-travel fics. Although I'm still happily waiting to see the duel between Harry and Snape ...
  
  I'd actually worked out just now the silly errors in my protests over a romance between Harry and Lily before I read your reply which said the same thing - (a) since he's in a new timeline there's no Harry Potter in the future to jeopardise, and (b) he's in Henry's body, so no genetic incest/ick would be involved. Always good to have a story that makes me think.
  
  And I'm wondering now - if Harry does find romance - whether it will be with Lily or Diane, the latter of whom featured more here, and who has a smile 'just like her daughter's'. :-)
  
  Harry's 'war on terror' was also refreshingly different, given how it's aimed at Riddle in his early days.
  
  Thanks for the chapter, it's a fun read!

  I like it that Harry is making Voldemort worry, Voldemort should do things a little deferent now.
  
  LoL.. Snape and Peter, are in Ravenclaw, I like it, I wonder who Harry is going to go out with...

  Very good. I like to see Harry taking charge and not being a whimp.

  If you ever do a rewrite, will you then follow cannon?
  
  Lockhart was a Ravenclaw, and so was Quirrel.
