What makes harry losing his parents more significant than all the other people with loved ones that were killed?

The things people forget when they have something to celebrate...

Beautiful

Wow that was short and powerful

Very touching! Glad I found it

i cryed. i'm not an emotinal person but i cryed. and that shows just how good a oneshot auther you are. it had everything from joy to guilt to inocence to more inocence. and it's original. i never even thought about it like that. and now i'm running out of things to say so keep writing and good bye

I really like this story... So many people in the wizarding world forget in their near worship of Harry for his defeat of Voldemort that it was a day of tragedy as much as victory. I really like how it was just the innocent comment of a little child that made one mother think about how much more than just the good was going on...

Well written. Great read.

Epic. Please make it into a full story! I would love to see her with harry

Wow...Powerful

This is so very powerful. It's amazing what a child's words can do. This is the single most amazing piece of writing I have ever read.

Always bothered me too. I mean, people who knew the Potters obviously felt both joyous and grief-stricken (I'm thinking of Hagrid, McGonagall, and Dumbledore- I don't think Sirius and Remus felt much aside from rage and grief- though perhaps some relief that Harry survived). Really liked this completely out of the universe but still totally in-canon take/oneshot.

And truly, is it not always children who see the heart of the matter/things others miss? The innocence of babes, truly...

Awesome idea, and very well written! It sent shivers down my spine. There was one spelling mistake - "Loretta said happily and took her daughter by the hand." Is that supposed to be sighed?

Right on! I always wondered that myself.

Brilliant!
