** The entire plot is kicked off because, instead of being thrown into Azkaban without a trial, Sirius is put on trial, and able to get himself acquitted of betraying James and Lily, therefore allowing him to raise Harry.
** Because of Barty Crouch Sr was transferred out of the DMLE over the fallout of Sirius' trial, Barty Jr chose not to participate in the assault on the Longbottoms, and without his aid Frank and Alice were able to fight their attackers off.



* SelectiveObliviousness: With the exception of Flitwick, everyone refuses to accept any evidence that Sirius is not a Death Eater, including the fact that even after Voldemort returns, Harry is alive, safe, happy and not Dark aligned, to the extent that it can come of a IRejectYourReality.

Despite being believed to be a Death Eater, Sirius Black was acquitted and obtained custody of his godson. What will people expect from Harry Potter when they think he's being raised by Voldemort's right-hand-man?

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In canon Harry looks up to Dumbledore for most of the story, even following his instructions after his death, here, because of Dumbledore's treatment of Sirius, Harry is significantly more hostile and distrustful of him. Similarly his relationships with the Order of the Pheonix and Ron and Hermione are more hostile, given that they also believe Sirius guilty.
* AdaptedOut: Given the entire premise that, having avoided Askaban, Sirius raises Harry, his canon guardians, the Dursleys are naturally, absent from the story.

* DramaticIrony: Barty Jr doesn't participate in the Longbottom raid because, owing to his recent demotion, his father would not be in a position to get him out of trouble if he's caught, unaware that, as readers know from canon, Barty Sr wouldn't have saved him, even if he could.

This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected, or something is just an innate aspect of the setting or character that has a logical reason for being present); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: When many Death Eaters were bribing their way to freedom at the end of the war despite the public knowing that they were guilty, it was unfortunately inevitable that legitimately innocent people like Sirius end up being painted with the same brush.
** At the same time it is equally inevitable that no, a decade of calling your former friend a criminal, shunning and slandering him at every opening is not going to be suddenly forgotten by him because irrefutable evidence that he ''was'' innocent all along has come to light.

!! ''Raised By a Death Eater'' contains examples of:

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Inverted, while the both get put through a fair amount of grief, Harry and Srirus are in a far better situation than their canon counterparts.
** Also inverted for the Longbottoms, because Frank and Alice are spared their canon fate Neville grows up far happier.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Luna, while technically present throughout books 2 onwards, first becomes known to the cast and the readers in book 5, here she appears in year 2, justified since she and Harry share a house.
* ArmorPiercingResponse: When, after Sirius is finally vindicated, Alice Longbottom tries to defend she and Frank believing Sirius was guilty all these years by claiming that it was hard to believe that such an unassuming wizard as Pettigrew was that dangerous. Sirius' response.
-->'''Sirius:''' But it's easy to believe when coming from someone from the Noble and Most Ancient House of lack, isn't it?
--> '''Alice:''' This is not what I meant, Sirius
--> ''Sirius:''' But that's what I understood.
* BrokenPedestal: Dumbledore's refusal to accept Sirius' innocence cause him to lose Sirius' respect.
* CassandraTruth: Until Peter is caught, no one will believe Harry when he claims Sirius' innocence.
* DemotedToExtra: Hermione and Ron have a substantially smaller role than canon, owing both to Harry being a Ravenclaw not a Gryffindor, and that they both supported the belief that Sirius is guilty.
* EasilyForgiven: Defied. Sirius makes it very clear that he has no intention of forgiving his former friends for refusing to believe in him for so long.
* ForWantOfANail: The entire plot is kicked off because, instead of being thrown into Azkaban without a trial, Sirius is put on trial, and able to get himself acquitted of betraying James and Lily, therefore allowing him to raise Harry.
** Because of Barty Crouch Sr was transferred out of the DMLE over the fallout of Sirius' trial, Barty Jr chose not to participate in the assault on the Longbottoms, and without his aid Frank and Alice were able to fight their attackers off.
* HeroAntagonist: Dumbledore and the Order of the Pheonix ''are'' heroically aligned characters working to protect the wizarding world from the Death Eaters, but their refusal to accept Sirius' innocence places them at odds to Sirius and Harry throughout the story.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Sirius is actively working against Voldemort and yet, until Pettigrew's capture, everyone believes him to be a Death Eater himself.
* InsaneTrollLogic: When told about the Marauder's map showed Pettigrew alive, Dumbledore claims that Sirius (who hasn't had access to the map since he was in Hogwarts) must have modified the map.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Dumbledore's reaction when Pettigrew is caught, the story stating that despite his advanced age, it was after getting Moody's message that he felt like an old man.
* OnlySaneMan: When Harry arrives at Hogwarts, safe, happy and clearly not prejudiced against Muggleborns, Filius Flitwick is the only one who realized that this likely meant that Sirius actually ''is'' innocent.
