Omg so sad! I love these kind of stories that go into harry's sorrow from his childhood and how it has effected him.

Thank you! I don't know exactly where my mind was wandering when I realised that the Dursleys probably never took a picture of him, or wanted him in the family portrait. But when it hit me I had to write something xD. And yes, whenever I think about those years in between I have to remind myself that, "it's ok, he is not a real person"

Gloriously heart-rending. I love how understated this is, the simplicity of young Harry's realizations and their implications. (Once again: *brilliant*!)

Thank you! ♥ I believe that it is what sadly happens with normalized, everyday neglect. You don't realise how wrong it is until you realise that it is not normal.
