Summary
*Updates Weekly*
After Molly Weasley reports shocking abuse on the part of Petunia and Vernon Dursley, Albus Dumbledore makes an official decision to Turn A Blind Eye. After all, the Dursleys *are* the key to Harry's Blood Wards. Though McGonagall is appalled, she is ultimately unwilling to take a stand against Albus.
Enraged at this dual neglect, Severus Snape decides to take matters into his own hands. Little does he know that his attempts to modify Harry's Blood Wards will result in *accidentally adopting* The Boy Who Lived. Shocked and horrified, Severus is left with no choice but to move forward as best he can. After all, there's no use crying over spilled potions. . .
This fic is set just after the Weasley siblings rescue Harry from the barred window/canned soup/cat flap situation in Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets. It is broadly inspired by many of my favorite Snape/Harry Adoption Fics, which I have gathered into the collection Snape_Harry_FoundFamily. Thanks, all y'all, for creating such delightful fics.

Summary
Harry Potter was done waiting.
After years of beatings, neglect, and being treated like an inconvenience in his own home, Harry runs away from Privet Drive in the middle of summer—tired of the Dursleys’ cruelty, the silence from those who were supposed to protect him, and the strained, carefully-worded letters from friends who feel increasingly out of reach.
In the heart of Diagon Alley, Harry discovers something that should have been impossible: he is not only the Heir of House Potter, but also the Heir of House Black. Two ancient lines of magic awaken within him—fire and ice, honour and control—binding themselves to him in ways he is only beginning to understand.
When legal magic confirms his emancipation, Harry is offered something he has never truly had before: choice.
Taken in under the protection of a certain Weasley connection—someone far from the Ministry’s reach and far closer to Goblin law than most wizards realize—Harry begins to rebuild his life from the ground up.
And if that so happened to be him resorting himself into a certain green and silver Hogwarts house? So be it.Series

Summary
When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.
Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.
Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!

Summary
The Dursleys have had enough and decided well, since Harry is now a teenager surely he can work for his own keep and sent him off to get a job as they will no longer be providing him with his needs (not like they did that anyway) and surely he can start helping pay the bills. Harry fortunately found a job that is nearby, a grocery store. As Harry settles in on this new routine he gets used it until one day on the checkout line he runs into the last person he wants to see.
"P-professor Snape?"
"Potter!"
For Harry it appears to be that things seem to be getting worse but finds that perhaps this is the start of something good.

Summary
At four years old, Harry Potter learned that humans hurt, but snakes just hide. So he stopped being human.
Now he's eleven—technically. In reality, he’s a python with PTSD, a Parseltongue-only vocabulary, and a neurological inability to remember how legs work. When Hagrid kicks down the door, he finds not a boy, but a traumatized reptile who hasn’t walked, spoken English, or been warm in seven years.
Enter Severus Snape, who did not sign up to be the foster guardian of a dissociated snake, and yet here he is: setting warming charms, prying Harry out of ventilation shafts with Wingardium Leviosa, and discovering that his new ward communicates exclusively in hisses that sound suspiciously like insults.
Year One: Harry learns to walk again, befriends a Draco Malfoy who smells like "food" (and friendship), refuses to play Seeker, and saves the day via strategic biting.

Summary
After the incident with Aunt Marge, Harry escapes Privet Drive, bruised and aching but determined not to return. But instead of the quiet summer at the Leaky Cauldron he had hoped for, Dumbledore has other plans. Whisked away to the home of none other than Severus Snape, Harry quickly learns that surviving the summer will mean navigating harsh lessons, unexpected vulnerabilities, and a man who seems determined to be both guardian and tormentor. Between grudging respect, uneasy trust, and the smallest sparks of understanding, Harry discovers that sometimes the safest place is the one you never expected.

Summary
Harry Potter has spent his whole life with his awful relatives, limited communication abilities, and a room under the stairs. But suddenly he discovers something rather exciting. He has magic!
His life's been turned upside down, with new friends who are willing to learn to speak with him, and a school willing to try and accommodate him, but also fame? Not too thrilled with that last bit.
Not to mention, there seems to be something... a bit weird going on. Banned corridors and mysterious packages.
That'll be fine, right?Series

A Hufflepuff Harry reimagining of the Philosopher's Stone.

Summary
Severus looked down and came face to face with a miniature version of himself. The boy’s big green eyes, Lily’s eyes— Severus made the connection without meaning to— peered up at him through dark, wet lashes. He was covered in bruises, his clothes stained with blood. They looked like rags the way they hung off his bony frame. It was the middle of summer, arguably one of the hottest mornings so far; the boy was still trembling.
Aunt Petunia makes a nasty comment about Lily, a lie meant to make herself feel better about her own life. Harry believes it. His dad didn’t die in a car crush with his mum, he’s still alive! And his name is Severus Snape.
Magic is belief. Magic is intention. Magic is love— Harry Potter really wants to be loved. He really wants a dad too.
Magic decides to make it true.

Summary
Harry Potter stopped talking when he was six years old.
But when his Hogwarts letter comes by way of a half-giant crashing through his door, how is he meant to navigate a world of wizards and witches, of hideous beasts and wondrous feats beyond all imagination, without his voice? How is he meant to make friends, when no one will bother to figure out what he's trying to say? How will he defeat the dark lord?
