What If Sirius Black Raised Harry Potter - Harry Potter Theory Fan-Fic

Welcome to Potter Theory. Today, we’re discussing what Harry’s life would’ve been like if he’d been raised by his godfather, Sirius Black.

But before we dive into how very different Harry’s life would’ve been, let’s first discuss how this scenario could’ve come to pass.

Our dear boy Harry was made an orphan at the mere age of one on the 31st of October in 1981, when Lily and James Potter were murdered by Voldemort at the Potter family cottage in Godric’s Hollow. The young family’s whereabouts were supposed to have been concealed by the Fidelius Charm, with only their chosen Secret Keeper knowing their exact location. As most of you will know, it was believed that Sirius, James’ best friend, was the Potters’ Secret Keeper. We obviously know this to be incorrect, however, as Sirius convinced James and Lily that he would be too obvious of a choice. And so, they changed their minds at the last minute to Peter Pettigrew, who, of course, betrayed them, giving up the Potters’ whereabouts to Voldemort.

From there, an enraged Sirius went after Peter to confront him on the shocking betrayal of their friend. Somehow, in this encounter, Peter – or Wormtail as he was also known – committed a mass murder, transformed into his Animagus form as a mouse, and scurried away, leaving a devastated young Sirius to blame for all of the death and destruction.

But what if Sirius hadn’t gone after Peter Pettigrew to exact revenge on behalf of James and Lily? What if he’d never confronted Wormtail, been framed for all those murders, gotten caught, and, ultimately, been sent to Azkaban Prison for the next decade?

Instead, what if he’d arrived on the scene at the Potter’s cottage in Godric’s Hollow, and rather than leave his bike with Hagrid to go after Wormtail, he’d been convinced to stay with his newly orphaned godson, Harry? Had Sirius been able to keep his cool in this moment and not rush off, he could’ve explained to Dumbledore and the others that he was never the Potters’ Secret Keeper – that Lily and James had entrusted Peter instead.

Having convinced a powerful and respected wizard like Dumbledore of the truth, the others in the Order likely would’ve also accepted Sirius’ testimony. ESPECIALLY, if Wormtail had still committed those other murders – you know the ones he used to fake his own death when Sirius confronted him? Because, of course, if Sirius never went to confront him – if he was never there, how could he have been framed?

With Sirius’ name cleared, at least in the eyes of the Order, the next obvious question would’ve been: Who would raise Harry? It’s possible that Dumbledore still would’ve thrown out the Dursleys as a possibility. But considering how unconvinced Hagrid and McGonagall were about this arrangement when Sirius wasn’t an option as guardian, it’s very likely that the idea of placing Harry in Petunia and Vernon’s care would’ve been shot down pretty quickly. Leaving Sirius as the obvious choice.
