At least Harry is trying to communicate with his Aunt and Uncle. That is a good start. That and he is not being a door mat either. I'm glad he is going to write letters to people. That will help him and them. Thanks for writing. p

Thank you for reading and reviewing!
Harry will be more communicative than in OotP, and will take a bit more responsibility. He won't be a doormat, but he's not going to be too superpowered, either.
That's a really good start, Harry's getting over his problems and realising what he can do to change them.
I'm looking forward to reading more and this looks very promising, I like your characterisation of Harry so far. Good luck and keep up the good work.

Thanks very much. Harry's acceptance that he has to deal with it, but that he needs help to do so, forms an important part of the first half of this story. Whether that relatively easy acceptance helps him later on ... well you'll just have to wait and find out. =|:~)
Great start! I like your reflective, reasoning Harry. So many authors go down the Angsty!Harry path. Not that that is necessarily bad, but it is refreshing to see a story start with Harry extending an olive branch to DD and have already started growing up before the summer started.
Good Job.

Thanks very much. Harry's pretty much reliant on Dumbledore at the moment as a surrogate guardian. For now he's taking a much more mature approach to his situation, though of course that state of mind will depend on how he reacts to the Headmaster's continuing machinations. :)
I'd echo those sentiments. You're working in an area where many have
gone before but I like the fact thaty Harry has decided early on to get
his act together.

Thanks. I think there are two ways to go with it - either Harry falls deeper into despair, or he manages to cling to the hope that he's been offered and start doing something about it (and I'm not much of a fan of angst :-) ).
