For those of you upset by the loss of the parents: I am truly happy you feel that way because I am too. I really connected with Tom and Atlanna, and I hope you did too. I grew up with out good parental figures and it was cathartic to write, not perfect but, loving and caring parents for the MC. It was a difficult and long thought out plan beginning from the moment the wish was made. I wanted to spare Harry the life he had in the books. My character wasn't thinking about how attached he would become to his new parents when that wish was made. It was a lack of foresight on his part. Tutu = Grand like grandma or grandpa
This is ridiculous. It's not just the MC being a moron and giving up his parents to save Harry's. He made the choice to sacrifice them. He, not Voldie, was ultimately responsible for their deaths. And all because he was so much of a fanboy that he decided killing his own parents was worth a different (not necessarily better) upbringing for someone he never even met. He can save the crocodile tears; he clearly showed how much his parents were worth to him when he made his wishes.
