Harry Potter Alternate Guardians For Harry

Harry is raised by...

Inspector Gadget!

Okay, that would just be on paper cause it'd probably be Harry being raised by/growing up with Penny and Brain, but officially, Gadget would be his guardian.

I am not that much of a poster, but I just had a spectacularly weird idea after watching TF2's Meet the Medic video.

What if Harry...was raised by the Team...assume the Pyro is a woman. >.>

Any thoughts on how that would go? Would Harry be like a cross of Kirby and the Class Selection Screen?

Demoman Harry!

Scout Harry!

Medic Harry!

Soldier Harry!

Heavy Harry!

Spy Harry!

Pyro Harry!

Sniper Harry!

Engineer Harry!

What about a little of everything. He's not as good at one thing as a specialist, but is a jack of all trades.

And, I'll admit, I'm surprised at the lack of reaction to the Inspector Gadget idea.

Well...I do not know? :blink:

Hmm, that might be better.

Who would warp Harry the most?

Has 'Death' from discworld been mentioned? I mean the idea that Dumbledore hands the boy who lived over to the manifestation of Tom Riddle's greatest fear strikes me as poetic justice. Even better, since being around death lends you some portion of his abilities, it'd be fun to see how Harry's talent for magic and his nature as Deaths apprentice interact.

Imagine how Goblet would end if Harry allowed some of his 'Death side' to manifest while their wands were locked in battle. Heck if Harry had learned to stop time (as Susan did in Hogfather) Cedric might survive that encounter.

Thoughts?

Speaking of death, What if Harry was raised by Greg, the Grim Reaper.

Harry shows up to Hogwarts as a cynical, cockney accented boy with a grudge against cats.

Hmmm that's going to make him becoming friends with Hermione more difficult as she's rather fond of her cat Crookshanks.

She didn't get Crookshanks until the early parts of book three...

I kinda wonder what his reaction to McGonagall would be.

Ooh, there's an idea, what if it turned out feline animagi had nine lives?

Point, still McGonagall's entrance might cause him some consternation, which should alert Hermione to his distaste for felines. How that eventually would play out is a question that should be answered.

Harry raised by Elwood Blues.

Shows up to Hogwarts in a black suit and shades.
 

Neko Hibiki

Cute Snow Princess
Harry raised by Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the mane cast, and Spike too.^_^
 

Prince Charon

This may have been mentioned, before: Harry survived an attack by Fenrir Greyback at a young age, and thus was raised by Remus Lupin.

Also, if the public knows, would probably fuel efforts to find a cure for lycanthropy.

Harry raised by a time travelling Garrus Valkarien... who then raises Harry to be a bit like Commander Shepard.

Voldermort is fucked.

I actually kicked around an idea of Harry ending up raised during the timeskip by Simon and Nia, and somehow saves Nia.

Oh god, Harry raised by Simon... and then ends up becoming the pilot for Gurren for Simon!

Forget what I said before, lets see Voldemort take down Gurren Lagann... Scratch that, Gurren or Lagann, Gurren Lagann would own him too quickly.

The Power The Dark Lord Knows Not is...
The power of Tracing.
Harry Potter has been raised in Fuyuki CIty by Emiya Shirou and Pendragon Arthuria/Saber.
Cue Blinky the Basilisk be transformed in minced meat with EXCALIBUR (Mom's birthday's gift).
i whole heartily agree with this idea. it must be written.
<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6763234/1/Herwald_von_Einzbern_and_the_Philosophers_Stone' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>"Herwald von Einzbern and the Philosopher's Stone"</a> is the story you may be looking for. This is Harry Potter if he'd been adopted by Emiya Kiritsugu and then the Einzberns subsequently. He was involved in the Grail war as the master of Assassin, most probably Jack the Ripper. The story also cameos Hoenheim and Trisha Elric as Mr. and Mrs. Flamel. Oh, and the Einzbern's specialty, alchemy, plays a major role. Herwald has Scar's alchemical arrays.

On another note, I'd like to see a Harry that received a visit earlier in his life and an offer to go to boarding school in America on a scholarship. The school is Xavier's School for Gifted Youth. Harry is a Mutant. And his power...is Love. He can make a person or people in a certain proximity feel love, joy, and affection. Yes, he has a Care Bear Stare. Given the emotional nature of most magic, that makes him a nightmare to duel. He also has combat training. Oh, and his guardian for his stay at the school, a recently reformed Professor Erik Lensherr (AKA Magneto). I'd love to see what Magneto would have to say about Voldemort. Hell, I'd love to see any Legilmens try to get into Harry's or Magneto's head. Charles notices the intrusion later on and pokes the intruder with a comment, "How cute, you think you can read minds."

What's with all this makes 'Harry's life better' crap. Bah and humbug. It's an insult to the orphan genre, I say. :angry:

What if Harry was 'raised' (and I use the term very loosely) by Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone of <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolutely_Fabulous' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Absolutely Fabulous</a> fame.

Already knowed.
Idea who I don't know if it's better or worse (for Harry, Dumbles and Voldypants): Harry has been raised by MATOU ZOUKEN!!!

Hm...

probably been tossed around a few times before, but what if Harry was raised by some of us?

Not with superpowers or anythign like that. Just us transported to the Harry Potter Universe, with the Will of the Universe keeping us from doing anything to extreme, like killing Harry to get out of raising him, or doing anything to really screw things up.

The most we get to bring with us is a backpack of items, but we get a free background courtesy of the Will of the Universe. Enough to get by with at least.

Might write a basic intro option if I can figure who would be most entertaining to be my co-pilot...
