Summary
Since Harry could remember, living with the Dursleys had meant learning to read their faces, their tells, the smallest signs that he was about to be in trouble. Like his uncle’s moustache would twitch when he got angry. His aunt’s lips would go thin when she found Harry particularly annoying. His cousin’s eyes would go wide when he was planning to attack him.
But to survive, instinct alone had never been enough. Since he had begun to observe, he had found that knowledge came in many forms and shades, not just from books. Knowing how to read a face was knowledge. Learning about himself was knowledge. Learning of the world outside was knowledge. Even knowing how to drop the right hint to soothe Dudley’s temper was knowledge, and knowledge had saved his arse time and time again.
So when Harry was thrust into a world full of magic. He decided he could do a lot with knowledge alone.

Getting into Ravenclaw had been planned, challenging traditions entirely deliberate, and loving Draco… inevitable. The rest followed almost on its own. The attention of the entire wizarding world, stumbling into trouble, and the chaos that came with it… well, blame Draco for that last one. -

Summary
One year after Voldemort killed Lily and James Potter, Severus Snape pays a visit to Number 4 Privet Drive. He has a duty to Lily Evans, the best friend he ever had, and therefore to her son and her sister. He finds himself assuming the role of the child's uncle. As it happens, the friendship between Severus Snape and Petunia Dursley changes both of them, both of their lives, Hogwarts, and their world's future for the better. (It's so much easier to be a good person when you're not clinically depressed, afraid for your family, or stuck in your past trauma).
This is a lengthy story meandering through Harry's childhood, with eventual plans to see it through his Hogwarts years and a very different resolution to canon. But in the meantime, the goal is cuteness and exploring a world with better-adjusted adults in it.

“Can you take us to a late showing of —"
Steve bites his lip, sighing and preparing for inevitable backlash, “I can't, I'm babysitting."
“What!?” Dustin screeches, “How!? You’re not with any Party members?”
“Yeah I’m babysitting other kids.” Steve sighs, looking back at Beth and Annie bickering over one of their teddy bear guests.
“Other kids?! Kids that aren’t us? You’re cheating on us?”
Steve rubs at his temples, “It’s not like I have a secret family Henderson! Calm down.”
“You may as well have!” Dustin retorts something like hurt colouring his tone.
