Preaching to the choir
Though I suspect that everyone has already read this and it's only me who's behind the times, I'm going to pimp this here anyway. If you've not yet checked out
ntamara's Choosing Loyalties (scroll down past the Fractured Fairy Tales), then you're missing out! It's a highly believable AU in which Voldemort snatches Harry up just moments before Hagrid arrives to take him to Hogwarts. His feet set on a different path, Harry develops into an understandably different person. (And, in my opinion, a much much more interesting character than canon-Harry.)
Choosing Loyalties did two things that I would never have believed possible:
1) It made me go 'awwww, so cute!' over a snake. (*twitch* I don't like snakes.)
2) It made me grin and believe that Tom and Harry were meant to be together. And yes, that's totally insane. I've never, ever read Tom/Harry before because it seemed like *the* most impossible pairing in the whole series, but wow, it just really worked here.
And man, the second snake sure was cute. :)
