There's a possibility that it could be an ancient wizard or a group of respected elders in the wizarding world. They might come out of seclusion to knight Harry as a symbol of the wizarding world's traditional values of bravery and honor being passed on to a new generation through Harry.
Maybe Dumbledore, if he were still alive in the fanfiction. Dumbledore was highly respected and had a great influence. Knighting Harry would be a way for him to publicly recognize Harry's achievements and heroism on a grand scale.
Well, it could be that the Queen has a special connection to the wizarding world in this fanfiction. Perhaps she has been secretly informed of Harry's bravery and selflessness all along. And as a symbol of the British monarchy, she knights him to show that the Muggle and wizarding worlds can have a positive relationship. So, she bestows this honor on Harry.
In the 'Harry Potter gets knighted' fanfiction, perhaps Harry is honored for his heroic deeds against Voldemort. He might be knighted in a grand ceremony at Hogwarts, with all his friends and professors present. The Ministry of Magic could finally recognize his great contributions to the wizarding world.
Snape could also be a possibility. If Harry did something that Snape considered a serious offense in Potions class, like using an ingredient in the wrong way that could have caused an explosion, Snape might send a howler to scold him. However, it would probably also be filled with his usual sarcasm and dislike for Harry.
Lupin could be a likely candidate. Given his experience and his role as a sort of mentor figure to Harry, he could give Harry the talk. It might involve Lupin sharing his own experiences with being a werewolf and how to deal with secrets and prejudices in the wizarding world.
Hermione would be a likely supporter. She is always loyal to Harry and if he presented her with evidence of Dumbledore's wrongdoings, she would probably side with him. She has the intelligence to help Harry strategize and find ways to expose Dumbledore. For example, she could use her research skills to dig deeper into Dumbledore's past.
He could meet other young wizards and witches who are also working summer jobs. Maybe some from other wizarding schools.
Hagrid could be a great help. He has a lot of connections in the wizarding world, especially with those related to magical creatures. He might introduce Harry to someone who needs help with taking care of or studying magical beasts, and thus get Harry a job in that area.
There's also a chance that Neville Longbottom could be involved in a cheating situation. He might have grown into a very different person in the fanfiction, and due to some complex emotional and social factors at Hogwarts, he cheats on his significant other. This would be quite a shock as Neville is usually seen as a very loyal character.
His friends from Hogwarts, like Ron and Hermione, are likely to help. Ron could bring his family's practical knowledge of wizarding homes and Hermione would contribute with her extensive research skills.
Well, Harry could marry one of the veelas. Given their beauty and allure, it would add an interesting dynamic to the story. Their relationship could involve Harry having to deal with the jealousy of other wizards and also the cultural differences of the veelas. Or he could marry a descendant of one of the founders of Hogwarts. This would tie in a lot of Hogwarts history into their relationship, and their wedding could be a grand event that unites different factions within the wizarding community who have ties to the founders.
