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.
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.
Yes, they might. Just like any other group of people, those who identify as Blacks or are part of the Potter family name (if we assume there are real people with that name) could be fans of the Harry Potter series and thus read fanfiction. Fanfiction offers a wide range of interpretations and extensions of the original story, and anyone with an interest in the magical world of Harry Potter could be drawn to it.
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.
One reason for Blacks to read Harry Potter fanfiction could be the representation (or lack thereof) in the original series. Fanfiction can sometimes address issues like better representation of diverse characters. For Potters, it could be the curiosity of seeing their name in different fictional scenarios within the Harry Potter world. Also, the popularity of the series means there is a vast amount of fanfiction available, and both Blacks and Potters could be attracted to the variety of stories, whether it's about new magical creatures, different relationships between characters, or alternative endings to the main story.
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.
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.
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.
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.
