There's also 'A Different Childhood for Harry'. This fanfic imagines Harry being raised by a muggle family in a completely different cultural setting. It's interesting to see how his Hogwarts experience is affected by his non - traditional upbringing. For example, he has a different view on house - elves due to his more egalitarian muggle background.
One interesting 'Harry is raised by McGonagall' fanfiction could be 'A Different Start'. In it, McGonagall takes on the role of a mother figure very seriously. She teaches Harry about magic in a more traditional and strict way, which makes for a really unique take on his character development.
One possible plotline could be that Harry is raised by a Death Eater in disguise. This would lead to a very different Harry, perhaps one who is more conflicted about his place in the wizarding world and has to grapple with dark magic teachings from an early age.
One great fanfiction on this topic is 'The Black Heir'. It delves deep into how Sirius would have raised Harry with a perfect blend of love and magic training. It shows Sirius teaching Harry about the Marauders' secrets and how to handle the challenges of the wizarding world from a different perspective than Dumbledore.
There's also 'Potter Family Expansion'. This one goes into detail about Ginny's pregnancy symptoms in the context of the wizarding world, like how certain potions can help with morning sickness. It shows how Harry and Ginny support each other and their excitement for the new arrival. The story also has some fun interactions with their old Hogwarts classmates who are now also starting families.
I really liked 'Harry's New Family with Regulus'. In this fanfic, Harry's adoption by Regulus leads to a whole new dynamic in the wizarding world. It shows how they both grow together, with Harry getting to experience a more stable and loving family environment. There are also some cool sub - plots about how the other characters react to this new situation.
There's also 'Voldemort's Claim on Harry'. It shows a different aspect of Voldemort's possessiveness. Instead of just physical possession, it's more about his claim on Harry's power and potential. The story builds on how Voldemort believes Harry is meant to be his in some way, and how Harry struggles against this possessive hold.
One great fanfiction could be 'The Marauder's Influence'. In this story, Sirius raises Harry with all the love and values of the Marauders. Harry grows up to be confident and strong, and he has a great bond with Sirius. He also gets to learn a lot about his parents through Sirius' stories, which helps him in his journey at Hogwarts.
Title: 'Sakura's Unexpected Engagement'. In this fanfic, Sakura could be engaged to a mysterious stranger. Maybe he's a powerful wizard from a far - off land. The story could start with Sakura's friends being shocked at the news. They wonder who this person is and what Sakura sees in him. As the story unfolds, Sakura might start to have doubts about the engagement herself, realizing she may have rushed into things without really knowing her fiancé.
One popular fanfiction with this concept might be 'The Unthinkable' (this is just an example, not an actual well - known title with this exact plot). In many such fanfictions, it explores how Snape's personality would influence Harry's upbringing. Snape, being strict yet intelligent, could instill in Harry a different set of values compared to the Dursleys or even Dumbledore's influence in the original series.
One great fanfic with this theme is 'Harry's Jealousy'. It really delves into how Harry's possessive nature towards Ginny plays out in different scenarios. The author does a wonderful job of showing his protectiveness and how Ginny responds to it.
