Well, for Harry, he might grow up with a sense of abandonment. In some fanfictions, this could lead to him having trust issues or a longing to find out about his real parents. For example, he might struggle with his identity, not knowing why his parents gave him away.
For the wizarding world, it could change the course of the fight against evil. If Harry is raised in a different environment, his skills and values might be shaped differently. He might develop unique magical abilities or a different perspective on magic, which could either strengthen or weaken the fight against the dark side.
In some fanfics, James and Lily giving Harry away might be due to a prophecy that requires Harry to be raised away from them for a certain power to develop. So they make the heart - wrenching decision to give him to a family that has some special connection to an ancient magic that can safeguard him.
Maybe they were forced to. Some fanfictions could depict a situation where an external power, perhaps a more powerful dark wizard or a corrupted magical organization, compels them to give Harry away. This could add a layer of tragedy and helplessness to their story.
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.
One great fanfiction could be 'Lily and James: A Love Beyond'. It delves deep into their relationship before Harry was born. It shows how they met at Hogwarts, their initial dislike which gradually turned into love. The story also includes their adventures as members of the Order of the Phoenix and how they fought against the Dark forces side by side.
One consequence could be that the fanfiction community would lose a significant source of inspiration. Since Harry was the main character, his departure from the fanfiction world might lead to a decrease in the quality or quantity of new works.
They could have adventures exploring different realms of heaven. Maybe there are places full of magical creatures they've never seen before. They might be on a quest to find a special kind of magic that can help Harry in some way, even from the afterlife.
One common theme is family. Since they are related, many fanfictions explore the family bonds between them. For example, how James and Lily's love created Harry, and how that love still has an impact on Harry even though they are gone. Another theme is sacrifice. James sacrificed himself for his family, and Lily did too in a way. Fanfictions often expand on these selfless acts.
Love is a very common theme. It shows how James and Lily's love developed, from their initial meeting to falling deeply in love. Another theme is sacrifice, like how they were willing to sacrifice themselves for Harry. And family is also important, as they were about to start their own family when tragedy struck.
One great 'Harry Potter Lily and James Fanfiction' is 'All the Young Dudes'. It delves deep into their time at Hogwarts, their relationship development, and how they became the people we know from the main series. It's well - written with great characterizations.
One possible fanfiction could focus on the moments leading up to their death. It might show James trying to protect Lily and Harry until the very last moment. He could be shown using his wand to fend off Voldemort as long as he could, while Lily was huddled in a corner with baby Harry, praying for a miracle.
