The story could explore how Harry copes with his blindness in a wizarding world. With Sirius by his side, he might have access to magical aids that could help him navigate. For instance, there could be spells or magical devices that Sirius discovers or invents to assist Harry. This fanfiction could also show how Harry's other senses develop more acutely, like his hearing or sense of smell, and how he uses these enhanced senses to his advantage, perhaps even in magical duels.
One possible aspect of this fanfiction could be how Sirius's unique personality shapes Harry's upbringing. Sirius is known for his rebellious and loyal nature. His influence might lead Harry to be more daring and less afraid of breaking the rules when it comes to fighting against the Dark Arts. For example, he could teach Harry some unorthodox defensive magic techniques that are not taught at Hogwarts.
Well, Sirius would surely focus on making Harry as self - sufficient as possible given his blindness. He might train Harry to use his wand in a more instinctive way, relying on muscle memory and his other senses. Maybe Harry would learn to sense the presence of dark wizards through vibrations in the air or changes in temperature that normal wizards might not notice.
In the Harry Potter series, Sirius did not raise Harry. Although Sirius was Harry's godfather, he was unable to bear the responsibility of raising Harry due to the many changes that happened during his growth. Sirius had been imprisoned in Azkaban for being a traitor, barred from Hogwarts after his escape, and only able to provide some help outside the school. He had died under Bellatrix Lestrange's Death Curse. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is not enough. Please click to read the novel!
It could lead to a very different dynamic. Harry might have grown up with more freedom and a stronger sense of family.
In Harry Potter, Sirius and Lupin did not raise Harry. Harry had been brought up by his aunt and uncle, and Dumbledore had done so for two main reasons: to prevent Harry from being infected by fame and fortune too early, and to prevent Voldemort or his henchmen from finding him. Although Sirius and Lupin were close friends of Harry's father, James, and played an important role in protecting and guiding Harry as he grew up, they did not take responsibility for raising Harry.

Often, these fanfictions highlight a strong bond between Sirius and female Harry. The stories might focus on how Sirius imparts his own rebellious and protective nature onto her. For example, he could teach her how to stand up to authority in the wizarding world, like the Ministry of Magic.
One popular 'female Harry raised by Sirius fanfiction' is 'A Different Sort of Magic'. It beautifully explores the relationship between a female Harry and Sirius, showing how he imparts his knowledge and love. Another great one could be 'The Girl Who Lived with Sirius'. It delves into the unique challenges and adventures that a female Harry would face under Sirius' guardianship.
In many Harry Potter fanfictions, the concept of being 'raised by darkness' can take various forms. It might involve a character being brought up in an environment influenced by dark magic or dark wizards. For example, a character could be raised in a family that secretly practices the Dark Arts. This could lead to the character having a different moral compass compared to those raised in the light. They may struggle with the line between right and wrong, as their upbringing has exposed them to unethical magical practices.
One possible storyline could be that Bellatrix, despite her dark past, has a change of heart due to some magical influence or a deep - seated love for the Potter family. Sirius, of course, would be a positive influence. They might raise Harry in a more unorthodox way, teaching him both light and dark magic in a balanced way so he can understand the full spectrum. This could lead to Harry being a more powerful and empathetic wizard, able to bridge the gap between different magical factions.
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.
In this kind of fanfiction, Harry would likely grow up with a more hands - on and perhaps wilder form of parenting. Sirius was brave and impulsive. He might teach Harry some of his more unorthodox magic skills earlier. Harry would also be surrounded by Sirius' loyalty to his friends and family, which could shape Harry's own values in a different way compared to growing up with the Dursleys.
