Just an other take on the Harry raised by someone other than the Dursleys idea.
In this idea, Harry is raised by someone that would get labeled Dark by the wizarding world, but is not (too) evil, relatively. Preferably one that has a different form of magic so that we can make this Harry feel even more off (and be a little less of a weakling).
So, perhaps we have a Harry raised by Elric of Melnibone, or Lejes Rimuels, or even Blue.
Edit: or your average Euthanos.
Done a million times, in other forms, I know.
Edit #2: Psychic Harry as an alternate idea.
