Harry Potter Harry raised by Magneto

Dr. Strange, at one point, does imply that magic users have their own society, though.
And wouldn't it be ironic if Harry turned out to be a mutant whose 'power' is to defuse potentially lethal situations, kinda like Longshot? Totally passive, and not overly powerful, but you just can't kill him. :lol:

Actually, I'm doing something similar with my planning of my HP/Pokegirls story. (But without it being a mutant power.) Snape actually was right when he dissed Harry to Bellatrix and Narcissa (in Half-Blood Prince): Harry's just naturally lucky and charismatic.
Of course, Snape does underestimate how useful Harry's "power(s)" can be. Does it really matter that you can't do something, as long as you have a loyal friend/minion who can? And are lucky enough that the individual in question is nearby when you really need them?

I'm extemely far from being an expert (or even mild fan for that matter) on all things X-men, but I can't help but love this idea :yay: Even a plebian such as myself knows that Magneto is a total badass with a strong set of morals/sense of right and wrong.
Leaving the problem of what Magneto is doing in the HP world (or the HP world doing within the Marvel-verse); exactly what would the master of magnetism be doing for the young mage? Beyond rescuing him from abusive mundanes? Would Harry adopt many/all of his mannerisms and sense of whats good and just in the universe? Would he find uses for his wizard abilities that Rowlings wizards could only gawk at? And so on and so forth.
Any snippets from someone at least? :hail:

Not quite that bad. Apparently, the tracking wards are on the kids houses (possibly only the houses with no adult wand-users in residence, so that the Muggleborns can't practice as much as the purebloods can), not the wands or the kids themselves, and is (supposed to be) removed on their seventeenth birthdays.
There are at least two major differences that Magneto might see between the MRA, and the Underage Magic detection.
Unlike the MRA, Underage Magic detection is done by his own kind. The MRA was purely a means of controlling mutants by normal humans, with the possibility of it being used to destroy them. Magneto might see it more along the lines of Xavier's Cerebro, simply tracking them down to keep them safe.
Second, it's done only until the child reaches maturity, it's not a lifelong thing.
Though Magneto would probably hear about the Death Eaters, and start thinking DE=Nazis.

There was a retcon in the 90's that revealed that Erik Lehnsherr was a cover that he used so people couldn't find him. The alias he used was "Erik Lehnsherr the Sinte gypsy". That was obviously fake as he was never a gypsy.
Underage magic detection might have been formed with the intent to benefit those with magic, but the actual application leaves a lot to be desired. When Dobby used magic they thought Harry did magic. Despite the fact it was done through the use of non-human magic, and didn't even use a wand. There was no investigation, just a warning. It couldn't even tell that there was no wand involved. So someone with a bad case of accidental magic problems would be proscecuted.

Last I knew anything about Magneto he was in the concentration camps for being Romani aka a gypsy, not for being Jewish. Which also made the Wanda + Kurt to give eventual birth to Nocturne angles a little more credible. Rom are naturally more inclined to stay within their own society because they are so easilly shunned and persecuted by others. Kurt is almost an ideal boyfriend or husband for Wanda in Magneto's mind. He Romani, he's an obvious mutant, he painfully chivalrous, and he's fiercly loyal. Granted, it's to Professor X, but still.
Once angle you could take here, although I'm reluectant to suggest it, is to make it the X-Men: Evolution Magneto that finds Harry. He was evil through most of the series but the visions of the future Professor X got from inside Apocalypse's mind show him teaching at the Xaview school for the gifted with the likes of Iceman, Wolfbane, and some of the other younger mutants laughing and carrying on with him in the Danger Room. Basically his apparent change of heart from fighting Apocalypse took root and he became the guy that was Xavier's best friend again.
Now picture Harry raised in that environment. Wanda and Agatha Harkness to guide his study of magic, a shit-ton of older brother, sisters, aunts, and uncles to give him some kind of happy childhood, and freaking Magneto teaching him how to not take crap from anyone.
Just as interesting as the comic versions, but with one extra advantage... there was never enough of Evolution to retcon, so Magneto is consistent. That alone makes it an attractive alternative IMHO.

Um, Kurt is technically GERMAN. At his time of birth, Raven Darkholme was posing as a German, so he's registered as such, and given his heritage, you can't call him a gypsy anyway. If anything, gypsies would AVOID a German... especially one who looks like a demon, and according to the most recent retcon, IS half demon. *stabs the Azazel angle*
Technically speaking there ARE German Romani tribes, including the one that ran Kurt's circus and adopted him. He's still Rom in the eyes of the Romani people. And depending on what version of Magneto you use Pietro and Wanda's mother was either Polish or GERMAN Rom herself. Magneto would have no problem with Kurt. Neither would his tribe. Romani are Romani no matter where they choose to wander. And the Romani in Germany were persecuted as badly if not worse than Jews during the Holocaust. He may have been born to a German Count or Baron (I choose to ignore the crappy reality of Azazel and substitute my own earlier version that made more sense), but he was still adopted into the Romani and raised as one of them. In thier eyes Kurt is one of them.
