A great example is 'A Clockwork Orange'. Alex is a character with a very violent and amoral side, but society tries to reform him in a rather extreme way, and his internal struggle between his old self and the 'new' self has Jekyll and Hyde - like qualities. Also, in the TV show 'Jessica Jones', Kilgrave has this ability to make people do his bidding, and Jessica has to deal with the part of herself that is affected by his control and her own sense of justice. Another story could be 'The Invisible Man' by H.G. Wells. Griffin's descent into madness and immoral behavior while being invisible is like a different kind of Jekyll and Hyde transformation.
Well, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' can be considered in this category. Dorian's inner decay while his outer appearance remains beautiful is like a form of duality. Then there's 'American Psycho'. Patrick Bateman is a character who has a normal - seeming exterior but harbors extremely violent and deranged thoughts and actions, much like the Jekyll and Hyde idea. And 'Secret Window' also has elements of this, as Mort Rainey seems to have a split in his personality that leads to some disturbing events.
For young readers, 'The Werewolf Girl' has some elements of duality. The main character has to deal with her wolf - like side. Another could be 'The Dark - is - Rising' series. Will Stanton discovers he has powers and there is a struggle within him between his normal self and his new, more powerful self. Also, 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' in a way. Edmund has his bad side when he is tempted by the White Witch, and then he has to overcome it, which is like a mild form of Jekyll and Hyde concept.

A Jekyll and Hyde - like separation in a Harry Potter fanfiction might involve a character other than Harry too. For instance, Severus Snape could be a great candidate. He already has this complex nature, being a double agent. The separation could make his two loyalties - to Dumbledore and to the Death Eaters in the original story - become two distinct personalities. One side could be fully dedicated to protecting Harry and Hogwarts, while the other is still drawn to the dark side's power and ideology. This would add a new layer of mystery and intrigue to his character and the overall story.
