The most interesting angles in this type of fanfiction include the alteration of Harry's personality. He would likely be more self - assured and less prone to self - doubt. The family dynamic is also fascinating. Lily and James could be actively involved in Harry's life, teaching him magic and values. This could lead to a different perception of the wizarding world by Harry. For example, he might not be as quick to judge certain groups or individuals as he was in the original story. Moreover, the way the prophecy would play out could be different. With his parents' help, Harry might be able to face Voldemort in a more strategic way, rather than relying solely on his own instincts and the help of his friends.
One interesting angle is how Harry's relationships at Hogwarts would change. Without the trauma of his upbringing at the Dursleys', he might be more outgoing and make friends more easily. Another angle is how the story of Voldemort's return would be affected. Harry, with the support of his parents, might be more proactive in dealing with Voldemort from the start. Also, the relationship between Harry and Dumbledore could be different. Dumbledore might not need to be as much of a guiding figure as Harry already has his parents' influence.
Well, if Lily and James regretted disowning Harry in fanfiction, it could completely shift the whole dynamic. Harry would likely grow up with a very different mindset. Instead of being the underdog at the Dursleys', he might be trained in magic from a young age by his parents or their friends. This could make him more confident and perhaps even a bit cocky. He might also have a stronger sense of family and belonging right from the start, which could influence his relationships at Hogwarts. For example, he might be more open with his friends about his family and not feel that sense of isolation that he had in the original story.
For me, 'Lily's Last Goodbye' is very emotional. It shows the moment when Lily realizes she has to sacrifice herself for Harry. The way it's written makes you feel all the love she has for her son and the pain of leaving James.
Another theme is the continuation of the magical legacy. These fanfictions might show James inheriting the special abilities or facing the same kind of challenges that Harry did, with Ginny and the memory of Lily as guiding forces. For example, James might have to deal with a new dark threat, and he looks to his father's heroism and his grandmother's sacrifice for inspiration.
In this fanfiction, a time - travel accident could occur. Harry is sent back in time to when his parents were still alive. Lily and James initially mistake him for someone else, but as they interact, they start to sense a strange connection. Eventually, Harry reveals who he is. They then spend some time together, with Lily teaching Harry some family - specific spells, and James showing Harry some of his Quidditch moves. This encounter changes Harry's perspective on his family history and gives him newfound confidence.
One interesting fanfiction could be about James and Lily's time at Hogwarts before they got together. It might explore how their relationship developed from initial dislike to love. For example, a story could show James maturing from a prank - loving boy to someone worthy of Lily's love.
Some fanfics have the plot where James and Lily travel back to their school days. It's interesting to see how they handle seeing their younger selves and friends. They can also try to prevent certain events that led to bad things in the future. For example, they might try to stop a particular argument between friends that later had far - reaching consequences. It's full of character growth and self - discovery.
Well, an interesting idea could be that Lily discovers she has some new, pregnancy - related magical powers. Maybe she can communicate with the baby in the womb through magic. It would be a really unique and heart - warming concept, seeing her and James have little magical conversations with their unborn child.
One possible plotline could be that James and Lily return and have to deal with the changed wizarding world. They might be shocked at how much Voldemort's actions have affected society even after his defeat. Another could be that they return to help Harry face new threats that are emerging from the shadows of the old war.
One common theme is family love. Since they are family, many fanfictions explore the deep love between Lily, James and Harry. Another theme is sacrifice. Given James and Lily's sacrifice for Harry, it's often explored further in these stories. For example, how their sacrifice influenced Harry's character and actions.
Well, it could lead to a very different story. Harry's childhood and upbringing would be completely changed, and the dynamics of the wizarding world might shift.
