* IfIWantedYouDead: At one point, Harry bluntly asks Lucius Malfoy whether he had had been responsible for several somewhat ostentatious attempts on Harry's life over the past year. Offended, Lucius (who says he is "not a fan of the Grand Guignol") states that if he'd wanted Harry dead, he'd have just used the Imperius Curse on Harry's uncle Vernon and ordered him to murder Harry in his sleep before burning the house down in a way that would make it look like an accident. Harry, a Slytherin, finds this answer acceptable.

* FalseConfession: When George is framed for a prank that nearly kills several Slytherins, Fred confesses to protect his brother. The staff aren't fooled but are forced to suspend him until [[spoiler: Lockhart]] confesses months later in an uncharacteristically unhinged rant to the Aurors trying arrest him. [[spoiler: Also, falsely, it turns out. The true perpetrator was a Voldemort-possessed Ron, but Lockhart, actually a disguised Regulus Black, made his own FalseConfession to protect the students he'd become fond of.]]
* FantasticRacism: Played with in regards to werewolves. While initially just people suffering from a curse once a month, there is documented evidence that they all gradually lose their humanity and become true, sadistic monsters. Remus Lupin is simply an unexplained exception who has retained his humanity, but the existence of an exception raises the question of if it's truly universal.


Added DiffLines:

** Similarly, [[spoiler: Harry]] is the subject of an unknown curse that causes Muggles to instinctively view him with fear and suspicion. The magic is unknown to the degree that Snape, who effectively has Mastery level knowledge of Dark Arts, has never even heard of such a thing.

** Meanwhile, the other main point of divergence aside from Jim's birth is that Peter Pettigrew is far more intelligent than in canon, closer to a mastermind than a cowardly stool-pigeon; he willingly sold out the Potters, framed Sirius when it backfired, and has been steadily working his way into a more advantageous position ever since.

** Despite being smarter then canon, [[spoiler:this Harry is no less blind: did not realize the son of a presumed Black Widow Countess and the son of a definitive psychopath dark wizard might already have Occulumency shields and experience; did not realize sooner that he should summon a snake and have it act as a way to speak with the silent Hydra (Theo had suggested it instead)]]

* HatePlague: The Oath of Enmity forces members of two families to magically have an instinctive dislike and mistrust for each other. It's revealed that there has been an Oath of Enmity between the Malfoy and Weasley families for generations, but it is possible for people affected to work together and even get along in spite of the curse.
** The Sanctumen Ultimo works like the Oath of Enmity on a larger scale: a family member can be disowned for treason, and the rest of the family as well as all families with reciprocal oaths will magically hate that person. Unlike the Oath of Enmity, only a highly trained Occlumens can resist the Ultimate Sanction's compulsion. Poor [[spoiler:Theo No-Name]] discovers this first-hand. Then turned UpToEleven when a magically-compelled mob starts hunting for him to burn him alive.

* MamaBear: Lily.

She then gets revenge on the Dursleys for having abused Harry.]] However, she has made [[ParentsAsPeople big mistakes]] in regards to Harry that have most likely permanently soured their relationship.

Events of the past four years are alluded to, such as a brief period where Harry and Jim were like actual brothers and the school' poor treatment of Theo "No-Name", but nothing is spelled out. Then, after the second prologue shows how Peter framed Sirius, the story properly starts just before Harry's first year at Hogwarts.

** Why, yes, James, [[spoiler:treat the son you thought was a squib as a stain upon your families name when he gets sorted into Slytherin and be clearly favoring your other son, only to switch gears when the favored son has called a muggleborn a ‘mudblood’ and can speak Parseltongue – the two things that even the Slytherin son doesn’t do – and try to butter up to the oldest boy, while a prophecy clearly states that whoever ends up as the Last Potter will be the Prince of Slytherin start the apocalypse. I’m sure THAT will go swimmingly when the time comes!]]
