Since 1H-2C forces the bidding to a higher level than 1H-1S, most
systems say that the 2C response requires a stronger hand than does 1S.
It varies with the system that you are playing, but it is common to
require something like 10 HCP for a response at the two level, whereas a
response at the one level promises no more than 6. So if anything you
have it the wrong way round.
