Great story! I especially like the interaction between Marcus and Hannah. It seems like Harry didn't realize he was attracted to men. The bathroom scene I enjoyed because of Marcus/Snape's reaction. I didn't think it was Snape's insecurity but that maybe he didn't believe that Harry was geniunely bi/gay and surprised at Harry's Yes answer. That's why he asked again when they were at Snape's home if Harry was sure. It'd be fun seeing a sequel with Harry and Snape coming out together. I can't imagine Snape having to polyjuice himself for the rest of his life.

Poor Harry didn't have an easy time of it throughout the story. He was so lonely and needy - you conveyed that perfectly - but at the end he finally found some measure of happiness. Good for him!

Snape was not nice but he was there for Harry, in a twisted way, as he always is. I liked that.

This line was my favorite for some reason: Harry's heart sped up. His Prince could have liked him back! Or not, he thought bitterly. I am still 'Harry Bloody Potter'.

*heh* His Prince. Ah Harry, Harry, so vulnerable and needy.

Great story!

	This was interesting . . . amusing in parts and sad (and pathetic) in others, with some 'oh wow, that's kinda hot' thrown in. All mixed together, I enjoyed reading this story. Thank you. :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	This was one quirky roller coaster ride! You captured Harry’s state of mind really well at the beginning. Ginny’s appearance was so sad and I liked how the playground photograph was used later on. I was a bit worried about Harry’s Polyjuice persona but the ending was reassuring. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Just brilliant! Loved Harry's inner voice. Snape is still Snape, even when he's not. :) Saddens me to think that this could easily be a possible aftermath to winning the war. Harry was so desperate with Ginny in the kitchen, my heart bled for him. All he wants is someone to love and to love him back. Even Ron and Hermione hurt him with the whole "not invited" scene, I thought they were his friends, they may well be but fair weather ones. Loved the Hannah/Marcus swing scene, lovely. The bathroom scene though hot was also sad in a way,because I think at that stage Snape/Marcus didn't think Harry was gay, or even bi, I thought it was more about pushing buttons. Then there is also Snape's insecurity in not quite believing that Hannah/Harry could even want him. Would love to see more of this storyline.How their relationship progresses, does Snape have to continue to be Marcus, can Harry redeem himself and Snape in the eyes of the Wizarding World? Can Harry have his dream of love and family? Would so love to see more of their lives?

Wonderful fic that I enjoyed immensely.

	Eee, bastard!Snape! Just the way I love him. My favourite moment was around this line: Snape zipped his trousers. "You aren't a bad fuck, Potter. Even in drag." snicker I admit I usually avoid genderbending, but Snarry with Harry polyjuicing into his mother? That was so twisted and wrong and I loved it! ;-) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Gender-bending is so not my kink, but you did a lovely job with this one. Especially Snape's reaction to Harry/Hannah, and Harry's reaction to realising what he's done. (Reply to this) (Thread)

This was a terrific piece. It begins with such a melancholy tone, and then layers in touches of whimsy in all the right places.

I loved when Harry turned into a baby... he's lucky he didn't end up as a cat! He really needs to check that hair a little better. :)

Martin was perfect. I loved how he shared little snippets.

Again, Lily's life saved Harry. This time, it was just her appearance, but that little bit allowed him to reclaim his life, and that seemed fitting and just. It's sad that the wizarding world turned on him so quickly, but not unexpected.

I really liked this story, devoured it down to the last word- and that's where the but comes in. It feels unfinished to me, the ending is kind of rushed. There where so many details shown. Harry's difficulties whith work, friends, his status as the saviour, the press. His thoughts about everything. But as soon as the revelation in the loo happened the plot started to rush to the finish. Hot sex, but no substance anymore, at least IMHO. Will his theft of the potion be noticed is just on of the questions I wanted answered.

There are a lot of fics where I admire the semi-openendedness but this one just does not work for me, sry.

I am chuckling all the way as I read this.

Oh-my-God was that a young Severus Snape wearing a party hat?

MOST ADORABLE IMAGE EVAR.

The next picture, though, made him gently touch the paper, choking back tears. On a playground swing, two children hung suspended, high in the air. Their faces bright with joy, their hair flying in the wind. His mother and Snape holding hands, feet swinging high in the sky.

Awww...that brings tears to my eyes too.

I enjoyed the polyjuiced relationship development and the contents from the box that Dudley gave Harry. (I also like the mention of Dudley and how he seems to have turned out not too badly, just as hinted by JKR.) Personally I imagine one of the future headlines in the Prophet to read something like "Boy who Lived Marries Man who Died" or something along those lines :-) with a picture of the two of them kissing, covering the whole front page... In a way I hope that Skeeter woman will not give them a moment's peace, because after all, the public demands to know all the juicy details of Harry's and Severus' private life together :-)

An achingly sad vision of Harry's postwar life, and much more realistic than JKR's dissapointing epilogue. Life is not a happily ever after; the interaction between the characters was very much in character, no matter if they were polyjuiced or not.

But my favorite scene was Harry channeling his Aunt Petunia, waging war on his bathroom grout with a toothbrush and bleach, all the while wearing a pink apron.

Gotta love those little throw-away details...

Well done, fellow Phoenix.

Ahhh, that was satisfying. I loved it! Very real depictions of everything (I especially loved how Harry just didn't seem to "get" that he was a girl, especially the first night) from Harry's drinking problem to Ginny's reaction to telling him to Ron and Hermione being little twats. I loved Snape here. He seemed a bit more subdued, which would work well since it's been enough time without war or stupid brats for him to have calmed a bit, but then Harry can charge him back up with barely a word spoken. Awesome story. Simply awesome.

	Oh my, that ending fans self I really liked the headlines from the Prophet at the beginning and the bits of foreshadowing, like when Harry first finds Ginny's clothes. I love that Harry's angry voice is really sarcastic. And the hot, angry sex at the end. licks lips Yum! (Reply to this) (Thread)
