In some fanfics, he might be saved by his latent magic power that suddenly bursts out when he is in extreme danger. For example, it could create a protective shield to fend off the Dursleys' attacks.
In the fanfic, Snape might use his knowledge of the Dursleys' house layout. He may enter the house unnoticed, find Harry, and then use a Portkey to quickly get them both out of there. He could also have some sort of charm or potion that he uses to counter any magic the Dursleys might have used to keep Harry there, like a spell - breaking potion. And he may have planned the whole rescue very carefully, choosing a time when the Dursleys are least likely to notice, like in the middle of the night.
Well, in some fanfic scenarios, Voldemort might have made a deal with someone who has access to the Dursleys' house. For example, he could have bribed or threatened a neighbor or someone who works in the area. Then, when the time is right, he enters the house under the guise of this person's help and rescues Harry. It could also be that Voldemort has some sort of inside knowledge about the protective spells around the Dursleys' place. He finds a loophole in those spells and slips in to save Harry.
In some versions, Harry might be saved by his magical abilities emerging in a crucial moment. Maybe he uses magic to make food appear for himself, defying the Dursleys' cruel intentions.
Maybe he gets help from his friends. For example, Ron and Hermione could come up with a plan. They might send him a magical object that can help him escape, like a flying broomstick that he can use to fly away from the Dursleys' house without being noticed.
Perhaps Snape uses magic to create a distraction at the Dursleys' place. He could make strange noises or apparitions that scare the Dursleys, and while they are in a panic, he grabs Harry and disapparates. This would be a quick and efficient way for him to rescue Harry.
Maybe Percy uses his magic skills to create a distraction. He could conjure up some strange creatures outside the Dursleys' house. The Dursleys, being afraid of all things magical, would be distracted long enough for Percy to sneak in and get Harry out.
Jealousy could be one motive. They might be jealous of Harry's special status as a wizard. They see him as different and a threat to their 'normal' family life, so they want to get rid of him.
The abuse makes Harry more cautious. He has learned from the Dursleys that the world can be cruel, so he's careful about who he trusts. For example, he might be hesitant to open up to new people he meets at Hogwarts.
Well, he could use his magic skills secretly. Maybe he casts a spell on the Dursleys to make them docile or distracted long enough to get Harry out. For example, he might use a Confundus Charm on them so they don't notice Harry leaving.
In this fanfic, the Dursleys may be depicted as being in over their heads. Vernon Dursley, for example, might be shown as constantly angry and trying to assert his authority in a situation where he has none. Petunia Dursley could be portrayed as being torn between her dislike for magic and her sense of family obligation towards Harry. Dudley might be shown as being bullied or affected in the Muggle world because of Harry's presence in their family.
