Summary
One year after Voldemort killed Lily and James Potter, Severus Snape pays a visit to Number 4 Privet Drive. He has a duty to Lily Evans, the best friend he ever had, and therefore to her son and her sister. He finds himself assuming the role of the child's uncle. As it happens, the friendship between Severus Snape and Petunia Dursley changes both of them, both of their lives, Hogwarts, and their world's future for the better. (It's so much easier to be a good person when you're not clinically depressed, afraid for your family, or stuck in your past trauma).
This is a lengthy story meandering through Harry's childhood, with eventual plans to see it through his Hogwarts years and a very different resolution to canon. But in the meantime, the goal is cuteness and exploring a world with better-adjusted adults in it.

Summary
Soon to be eleven year old Harry Potter has his first trip to Diagon Alley, and while it is fun, he spends most of it figuring out how to have a second one, without the encumbrance the ever so nice Hagrid turned out to be!
Or:
Severus Snape had a few errands to run and had no idea his entire life was about to be turned upside down, but then again, it wasn't the first time his life was overturned so why fuss.
Or:
Harry needs help, Severus has a heart, and maybe together they can forge a brand new life together.
Worth a try anyway!

Summary
After the blood wards collapse and Harry is cast out by the Dursleys, he’s left without a guardian—just as Fudge circles, eager to seize custody.
With little time and even less options, Dumbledore proposes his grand solution; Snape as Harry’s new legal guardian. But a simple adoption on paper won’t satisfy the determined Minister. To avoid Fudge’s grasp, Harry and Snape must set aside their mutual hatred and act as though they’re a devoted father and son.
When he goes undercover with his life on the line and the Ministry watching for any misstep, Harry finds himself wrestling with unexpected emotions and begins to wonder, how long can a lie be told before it begins to feel like the truth?
