One interesting story could be about the Potter family's daily life before Harry goes to Hogwarts. Maybe how James and Lily Potter raised Harry in his early years, their family traditions, and the magic they used around the house.
Obviously, Harry Potter himself is a main character. He's at the center of many of these fanfictions, whether it's about his growth within the family or his relationships with other family members.
Well, he could discover new relationships his parents had. Maybe his mother Lily had a close friendship with a character we don't know much about in the official story. Fanfiction often delves into uncharted territories of a character's life. So, Harry could find out about the Potters' early days at Hogwarts, like their first encounters with certain teachers or how they formed their own group of friends.
I'm not sure if the Potters (as in the characters in the Harry Potter series) would give away Harry Potter fanfic. In the official lore, there's no indication of them doing so. Fanfic is more of a creation by fans in the real world rather than something the fictional characters would be involved with.
Well, in such a fanfiction, a possible plot point is the way magic is taught to Harry at home by the Potters. It could be a more personalized and in - depth learning compared to what he would have received at Hogwarts. Also, the family's influence might lead to different friendships for Harry. For example, he might be closer to certain pure - blood families that the Potters are associated with from the start, which would change the whole dynamic of his social circle at Hogwarts.
In fanfiction, Harry's understanding of the Potters can expand. He might see his parents as more complex characters. For instance, if a fanfic shows James Potter as having a struggle with a certain type of magic, it makes him more than just the heroic figure Harry knew. This changes Harry's view of his father.
Perhaps there's a plot against Harry by some dark forces, and the Potters believe that only they can protect him properly. They might think that the people who have been taking care of Harry so far are not equipped to handle the new and more dangerous threats. Also, it could be that the afterlife in the wizarding world has some rules or opportunities that allow them to try and get Harry back into their family fold. They could have been given a second chance, so to speak, and are eager to take it.
There's no real reason for the Potters to give away fanfic. Fanfic is a fan - created content, and the Potters are fictional characters. They don't exist in the real world where fanfic is created and shared.
Well, in the 'Harry Potter raised by Potters' fanfiction, it really strays from the original in terms of family influence. In the books, the Dursleys' non - magical and often cruel treatment of Harry was a big part of his story. But here, with the Potters, he has a loving and magical family. This means his values and worldviews are likely to be different. For instance, he might be more open - minded about different magical traditions from the start. Also, the role of Hogwarts in his life might change. Instead of being a sort of refuge from the Dursleys, it could be more of an extension of his family's magical world. And his relationship with the Hogwarts staff, like Snape, could be very different. Since he has been raised in a positive family environment, he might be more able to handle Snape's initial hostility in a different way compared to the original Harry.
One possible motive could be that the Potters discovered some dark plot by the Malfoys involving Harry. Maybe they found out that the Malfoys were planning to indoctrinate Harry into their pure - blood supremacist ideology against his will. So, to protect Harry from that, they kidnapped him.
