Alright this is based loosely off a thought after reading a few HP/Naruto fics out there. Almost all fo the ones I care for have Harry growing up as Naruto's cousin, or Sasukes cousin.
So I thought why not choose a different family just for kicks. Then I thought.. why not the Hyuuga's?
Which leads to a mental scene, of HAgrid handing over Harryt o DUmbledore. Except Albus notes that HArry no longer has any pupils, just a big green Iris. Yet the baby's eyes are obviously able to see.
Thus Dumbledore is forced to take Harry to a specilist first, and the only specilist he can think of with similar eyes is on the hidden ninja contient wherever that is.
Cue Dumbledore arranging a visit to the Hyuuga's, who quickly recognize that young Harry now has the Byakugen.... and pretty much force Dumbledore to let them rais ehim, lest their bloodline falls out of Hyuuga control. Of course Dumbledore is able ot arrange Harry is considered a Mainline member at least...
Now as to why Harry has the Byakugen... well I could go with a generic unexplained sideffect of the AK curse rebounding like his scar.
ALTERNATIVLY it could be that Lily and Petunia's mother/grandmother always wore sunglasses and had a really odd tattoo. Yes that individual was a Hyuuga who went to england to get married. As part of being allowed to go, she had to submit to a seal that would seal off the byakugen from her descedents. Except Voldermort's AK pretty much shattered this seal from HArry, awakening his dormant bloodline (This should not be immediatly apparant, but perhaps through some research a few months/years after Harry joins the compound.) Perhaps something to do with the seal affecting till death or whatnot.
Of course being raised as Hyuuga isn't going ot be all sunshine and roses, aside from ebing trained to be formal and stuff. Not only will Harry be considered a outsider, but also both BRanch and Main family will shun him because his iris's are bright emerald green, not the pale white of all the other Hyuuga's.
On the other hand Harry will be trained in the Byakugen and the Hyuuga Taijutsu style, albeit not as heavily as say Neji. Plus since he's shunned, he may have more chances to elarn other Jutsu's then more 'respected' members of the Hyuuga clan can.
Might be interesting to have Harry evolve a Big Brother/little Sister relationship with Hinata, who is in a similar boat concerning hwo the other Hyuuga's treat her. WOnder what a supportive big brother would do to HInata's charcter. OF course if this is true, than Harry moves to Konoha prior to the Kyuubi attack.
That might also define Harry's relationship with Naruto, as his LIttle Sisters crush. On the one hand it would make HInata happy, on the other hand that little brat isn't good enough for his little sister (For that matter NO ONE is, but thats another story)... And heaven help him should he hurt Hinata's feelings. So Harry might make friends with the Younger Naruto, if only to ensure he's appropiate for Hinata.
ON a side note, should Harry meet and be slightly corrupted by Jiraya? that way we could have a scene where Harry is ebing convinced to go to Hogwarts and
Jiraya mentions
"Look at it this way, hot nubile teen girls.... none of whom know exactly how your eyes WORK..."
Dumbledore: "Ummm.... Harry, your nose is bleeding..."*
