--> '''Voldemort:''' Bow to death, Harry.

--> '''Harry:''' [[BrassBalls I'll bow to Death when it bows to me.]]

* CrazyIsCool: ''Harry''. The other characters even think of him as this in universe.

* HilariousInHindsight: The joke of Draco being the love child of Narcissa and Snape takes on a new dimension of fun when you learn that in ''[[Theatre/HarryPotterAndTheCursedChild Cursed Child]]'', his son would eventually be declared the love child of Astoria and Voldemort.

** Surprisingly ''Gilderoy Lockhart''. Here, he's not ''quite'' as delusional as he is in canon, and the fact that he knows how to work the media makes him a valuable ally to Harry. It's actually played very well how Lockhart can help Harry and vise versa. It's surprising when this interpretation made Lockhart ''a fan favorite''. This reaction even shocked the author, enough to eventually write another story where Lockhart raises Harry entitled [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6635363/1/When_In_Doubt_Obliviate "When In Doubt, Obliviate!"]], which now has its own [[FanFic/WhenInDoubtObliviate trope page]].

* AntiClimaxBoss: Invoked. Harry spends a lot of time making sure that, once he goes to the graveyard, the scales will be tipped in his favor as much as possible and Sirius helps him preemptively sabotage the body reconstruction ritual by replacing Tom Riddle Sr.'s bones with that of a more distant male relative. When the time finally comes, [[spoiler:Harry deliberately dies to one of Voldemort's curses to get rid of the bit of soul inside him, immediately comes back due to the same circumstances of his blood being used in the ritual tying him to the world as long as Voldemort lives, and hits a shocked Voldemort with a Killing Curse at the same Sirius arrives and also curses Voldemort, which happens just after Cedric and Fred hiding under the Cloak of Death and silenced by a muffliato charm kill Nagini using Basilisk fangs, while Aurors who had been waiting with Sirius immediately ambush the shocked Death Eaters and incapacitate all of them in short order, only Lucius escaping before the anti-apparition ward is placed]]. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools It's very cathartic.]]

** In canon, one of Snape's biggest KickTheDog moments is when he responded to Neville screwing up a potion by saying he'd feed it to Neville's pet toad at the end of the class. If Neville got it wrong, which everyone expected him to do, the toad would probably ''die'', making this an absurdly cruel thing to do to a student. But in ''this'' timeline, Neville has a lot more self-confidence. So, what does he do when Snape makes the threat this time. Says, "Okay," and then, without missing a beat, [[spoiler:knocks his potion over and spills it everywhere]].

** Neville's family (namely his Great-Uncle Algie) was technically trying to ''kill'' him to see if he had magic powers

* NightmareFuel: Due to the deconstructions, a lot of the first few chapters reveal this from the original first book book now that Harry's looking at it though older eyes instead of just being an awed eleven year old. Examples include:

* MagnificentBastard: Harry during his second year, after Lockhart teaches him to merchandise using his natural charisma.

* CrazyAwesome: ''Harry''. The other characters even think of him as this in universe.

** InUniverse, Harry wonders if Madame Hooch is a Squib, noting that he's never actually seen her do magic.

* UnfortunateImplications: An unintentional one in Chapter 6 "...I've learned that people in turbans are not to be trusted." He's referring to Quirrel in this case, but out of context this reeks of Unfortunate Implications...

** The fact that even the Weasleys have engaged in some subtle anti-muggle racism, though Ron doesn't seem to notice it (see the main page).
