'Evalane'? Honestly, two people called James and Lily who named their son Harry would not give their daughter such a Meyer-esque-spelled name. Is that supposed to be pronounced like Evelyn? Perhaps Eva-layne? Who knows! I've lost count of the reviews I left on stories asking the suethors to think about whether the names of their OCs make sense in context. This is like the suethors who'll rename Hermione because apparently, her name (and, by extension, her character) isn't good enough for their tastes.

Also, if a little kid could unravel the illogic of a story by asking 'why didn't Lily hide Harry, as well?', then you've got a problem, suethor.

What irks me even more is the whole 'she suffered sexual advances' BS. Seriously, just for one, I would like suethors to not go the easiest, most obvious route, i.e. using sexual violence as a source for cheap drama. It's offensive and insulting.

This Sue can bite me.

I don't get how people come to the conclusion that it's remotely possible to "forget" Harry has a sibling. Like first of all, Voldemort has a ton of spies. There's no way the Death Eaters wouldn't know and there's no way they'd be so careless as to forget. Then there's James' best friends, who, being being best friends, could not possibly not remember or not know. Then there's Dumbledore and his allies, who are vigilant as hell wouldn't overlook that. In fact they'd probably be the ones to tell Harry he has/had a sister. The worse part of this was that she's hiding in a friggin' wardrobe, meaning that she'd have to have lived in an attic or something her whole life for people not have noticed Lily's pregnancy or child for years! I feel like the only way people wouldn't have mentioned her is if they thought she died a stillborn, for good reasons.

Many of these same people actually think the abuse Harry deals with is unrealistic because it's not violent enough, or that Harry should have been rescued. They don't know how the real world works.

Oh god she's wrecking two franchises at the same time.

And how does one "Forget" about a whole family member?
