So Harry can apparate like a house elf, does that mean he'll be able to do it inside Hogwarts? I can't wait to see how he interacts with people when he finally gets his letter and attends school. it should be almost as interesting as how the wizarding world will respond to house elves acting like 'big people'.
Sirius looks to be headed into the department of mysteries. I'm not really sure where you're going with that, but at least he may find direction again.
Remus may end up as a successful writer and a 'witch'. I had suspected that's what she'd ment when Mrs. Weaver had said what she did. I laughed so hard i nearly fell out of my chair when Remus found the witchcraft books.
Severus a hero?!?!
Ah, and poor Peter..
Severus getting fanmail?!?!?!
Wormtail's life truely ended when he betrayed his friends, it just took a few years to catch up with him...
MARRIAGE PROPOSALS!?!?!?!?
So Peter's ghost is headed back to england, to the Dower Estate. Will he haunt just the estate or follow Harry?
HIS HAIR IS CLEAN?!?!?!?!?!
So many questions to be answered, and likely a week to wait at least for the answers.
WEARING COLORS!?!?!?!?! (faints dead away)
update soon

Fascinating story thus far. Wondering very much what you're going to do when Harry gets to Hogwarts; how he'll interact with Hermione & Ron, if you even let him. As a submissive house-elf maybe he'll kowtow to Draco and end up in Slytherin or Hufflepuff?
In any case, very interesting story, looking forward to see where you go with it next. Thanks for writing it thus far!

Hmm, so that means that, in the next chapter, the Fidelus charm SHOULD break? I truly hope so - I wonder why, if he's already gone so far as to keep on the move, Peter has done the honorable thing yet? (depending on the culture one lives in, that could vary from turning one's self in to preforming seppiku) More, soon, please.

Brilliant Story. I love where you are going with it, can't wait till we get to see Harry grow up more :)

The timeline for Harry seems to be developed a lot further than for the others, is that intentional? He's almost five, and there doesn't seem to be the same sense of that amount of time having passed with Sirius, Remus or Peter.

bloody wicked. Except that I would've expected Lily and James to include something in case Peter died.

Whoa, the Fidelius is going to hold even after he's dead? Wacky, Dorothy!
I'm loving the new futures for SB, RL and SS. Are the Longbottoms in St. Mungo's, or did they recover?
You're doing great - keep on keeping on!

Damn... That was powerful. I wonder how everyone is going to react when they first see him. Will they be surprised? Angry? Miurnful? Curious? I dunno, but I can't wait to find out.

Oh, my!!!! This is taking some interesting turns. I'll be most interested in seeing where you're headed.

Very nice. I assume the house elvs were affected because of the 'all who belong here' phrase but why can't they be seen at all when they leave?
The description of the house elvs adjusting to fit Harry Potter was nice although I believe a bit exesive. Also, you described Harry learning to do a bit of house elf magic but what of accidental magic? Didn't he ever do magic which produced results other then what he intended?
I'm Guessing Peter will arrive next chapter to teach Harry Magic, right?

"House elf," sniffled Harry. Nanny rolled her eyes skyward.
*laugh* Oh, this is gonna be fun . . . Can't wait until Harry sees the Hogswart elves. And Dobby. *vbg*
Interesting look at the politics of the DMLE, at least from Sirius's POV.
Oh, please, PLEASE don't tell me that Remus will end up with any penname that has the initials of JKR.
Hmm. Never thought about the history of Dark Lords elsewhere.
SNAPE?! Ishtar, I don't know if I'll forgive you for that one . . .
"they buried it in a numbered grave in Potter's Field."
How utterly ironic.
Oh, ghost Peter? Hmm. That has possibilities, doesn't it? Hey, he could find Harry . . .
(Yes, I vaguely remember you saying something about it before, but didn't remember it until after finishing the chapter.)
Great chapter. Looking forward to the next one.

Wow, that ending was pretty cool :)
And I think the House Elves having to act like 'Big Peoples' because they want Harry to act like a wizard was hilarious.

A fascinating consequence of the Fidelius at the end there. I wonder how Peter will deal with it? Of course the mere fact that he is a ghost at this point opens up numerous possibilities in regards to him. It was really interesting to see Harry getting raised by house elfs, I imagine that some of their tricks he's learned, while things he won't want to replicate on a regular basis, should prove handy in a really tight spot. How everybodies lives proceeded from these little differences is highly fascinating, and I'm extremely curious to see this version of Severus interact with Harry when the time comes. Outstanding work, thank you.

Wow, What an incredible chapter. I should've gone to bed nearly two hours ago, but I just HAD to read this chapter! :) hehehehe. (I'm so tired, so I had to read it very, very carefully.) Awesome, really awesome. I loved how you tuned in to different viewpoints on how everyone is doing. Snape the Hero, hmmm? :) Intriguing. And Peter's a ghost now, yes? Well let's hope he does the right thing and goes home; it seems he will. I wonder if he will realize that the thin cord is the Fidelius and he's still guarding Harry. Harry's being raised by the house elves, hmmm? :) Interesting. I've always liked stories where the elves raise him. O:-) I like how Nanny keeps dealing with the situations that Harry causes by wanting to do house elf things. Yay for Remus writing a book! :) Perhaps he'll be self-sufficient, yes? That'd be cool. I LIKE how they got rid of Mrs. Black's portrait!! hehehehe. Yay for the chainsaw! Sirius an Unspeakable, hmmm? in-ter-es-ting... I can't wait for more, to see how the next few years go... but of course I will ;) hahaha, I'm not the one writing, and I'm not going to bug you to hurry up. So take what time you need, but know that I'm really looking forward to your next installment!

Ohh, so awesome, I've been waiting for this story to update just so I can see how Harry adjusts to being raised by house elves. I really enjoy your mulitple points of views,giving a glimpse of what everybody else was doing while Harry was revolutionalizing house elf culture, heh.

I wasn't going to read this story (I don't like fic's set in the Marauders time), but I'm glad I did: it is bloody brilliant. The characterisation is excellent, the plot inspired and the writing is amongst the most engaging I've read anywhere
Thanks!

Brilliant, as ever. Your characterisation is probably the best I've seen so far in a fanfiction. Originality is a big plus too. I liked Snape becoming famous, Peter as a ghost and Remus as a writter. It's all in-character and explained perfectly.
Some question about Fidelus that you probably should explain further:
If the house elves can take groceries and leave money, why can't they leave a message to Sirius & Remus? Or if they didn't know how to write, why they don't do it now, when they have learned?
And why are elves and Harry invisible, anyway? None of the order members were invisible and they were spending a lot of time in Grimmauld Place (in OOTP).
I guess you could say there are two conflicting descriptions of fidelus, one in POA and one in OOTP. Maybe I'm just more partial to the one in OOTP... But some further description wouldn't hurt.
Anyway, keep going, great work.
