Harry Hartford and the Years of Misfortune by MothMagia
Fandom Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
In the grand scheme of things, one single person isn't much. They are a grain of sand in the vast desert, and they are lost without a trace, only to be briefly rediscovered when one looks at their family tree, or finds their gravestone hidden beneath the dirt and grass that cover it.
But, for some unlucky people, the world seems to focus on their single grain, and gives them every bit of pain and suffering that it can.
And for Harry Hartford, formerly known as Harry Potter, he is that grain of sand.
But god, how he wished he wasn't.
A retelling of the Harry Potter story which, while it generally hits the same story beats, falls off the wagon rather quickly. Where Harry grows up knowing he is loved, and he finds a new set of friends, and yet, at the same time, quickly learns that the world has it out for him for circumstances outside of his control.
And because of that, he must find a way to survive without completely losing himself in the process.

Summary
They say life isn't fair. For Harry Potter, it's a brutal fact.
After nine years in a cupboard, suffering from neglect and abuse, he finally snaps and runs away. But the streets are just another kind of dangerous. Found not by a gentle giant, but by a different kind of family, Harry is forged into something new.
By the age of ten, he's not a wizard; he's a rising star in the Sicilian Mob.
How will this hardened, street-smart boy react when a man named Hagrid finally shows up to tell him he's a wizard? The Wizarding World thought the Boy-Who-Lived was a savior. They're about to get a kingpin.
