Oh, cool! This is such a neat idea, and I really like what you've done with it. Excellent story.

[kindkit]

Thank you!

I find it interesting that Lily treats Dudley with love. I wonder how different he would turn out if their roles were reversed. I can't see the Potters abusing Dudley.

This is absolutely wonderful, and such an imaginative idea.

[kindkit]

Thanks! The idea of Dudley being raised by the Potters was lilacsigil's; I had a lot of fun expanding on it.

It is so nice to read GOOD fanfic. There's so much dross out there that I would never have read this if selenak hadn't recommended it. I'm very glad she did.

[kindkit]

Glad you enjoyed--thanks!

I don't usually read HP fic, but a rec from selenak brought me. This is a lovely and believable twist, and this is a Dudley I can sympathize with. Poor melancholy boy, loved but not one of them.

Thank you! Writing this story really made me think about what it must be like for Muggles (and Squibs) on the fringes of the wizarding world--a pretty sad situation.

Oh, this is lovely, and I really like this Dudley (and Lily). Great stuff!

[kindkit]

Thank you! And thanks for the rec, which brought a lot of folks here to read.
