The influence on Harry's character is also important. He often becomes more rebellious in a good way. He's not as afraid to break the rules if they are unjust. For example, he might be more outspoken against Snape's unfair treatment compared to in the original books. Also, his magical abilities may develop differently under Sirius' training and guidance.
One key element is the strong bond between Harry and Sirius. It's a father - son like relationship that is central to the story. Sirius imparts his knowledge of the wizarding world, including things about Harry's parents, which gives Harry a different perspective.
One key plot element could be Harry growing up with a different set of values. Remus and Sirius, being outcasts themselves, might teach Harry to question authority more. He'd likely be more in tune with the magical world's underbelly from an early age. Also, his relationship with Hogwarts could be different. Instead of the sense of wonder and discovery as in the original, he might approach it with a more jaded view, having heard stories from Remus and Sirius about their own school days.
One common theme is family. These fanfictions often explore the idea of what a real family could be for Harry, with Sirius as a loving father figure. Another theme is the exploration of Sirius's character. Writers like to show how he overcomes his past traumas to be a good parent to Harry.
One great fanfiction could be 'The Marauder's Influence'. In this story, Sirius raises Harry with all the love and values of the Marauders. Harry grows up to be confident and strong, and he has a great bond with Sirius. He also gets to learn a lot about his parents through Sirius' stories, which helps him in his journey at Hogwarts.
One key element is their mutual admiration. Sirius sees Hermione's intelligence and courage, much like he saw in James. Hermione, on the other hand, respects Sirius for his loyalty and his fight against the dark side. Another element is the generational gap. They come from different times in the wizarding world, but this actually enriches their bond as they learn from each other.
It could lead to a very different dynamic. Harry might have grown up with more freedom and a stronger sense of family.
Character development is a significant element. Harry may start off as a bit naive in some fanfictions, but through his interactions with Sirius, he becomes more confident and self - assured. Sirius, on the other hand, may start as a bit reckless but learns to be more responsible for Harry's sake. Also, the theme of loyalty is often explored. Sirius is fiercely loyal to Harry, and this loyalty is tested in various situations in the fanfiction, such as when Sirius has to choose between his own freedom and protecting Harry.
