History Characters / StealingHarry

* {{ADogNamedDog}}: Harry has a stuffed frog named Frog, but also has two pet snakes named Snake. Since Harry can talk to snakes, he can confirm that snakes don't have names.
* {{BadassBookworm}}: Having been raised by Remus and Sirius, who run a bookstore, Harry develops a love for books. That doesn't stop Harry from jumping into action when his friends need help.

* {{BadAssBookworm}}: Partly where Harry gets it from.

* {{BerserkButton}}: His loved ones being hurt. Also, Severus Snape.

* {{HotBlooded}}: He's much more prone to losing his temper than Remus and is not shy about making his displeasure known.

* {{RedOniBlueOni}}: Red to Remus' Blue.

* {{BadassBookworm}}: Also an influence on Harry.

* {{RedOniBlueOni}}: Blue to Sirius' Red. Remus is not as given to outbursts of emotion as Sirius and usually remains calm in a crisis. However, when he ''does'' [[BewareTheQuietOnes get angry...]]

* {{LeeroyJenkins}}: He's not totally reckless, but is more likely to charge into a situation without a solid plan than the others. Fitting for a Gryffindor.
* {{ShrinkingViolet}}: When he first moves in with the Tonks. He gets more confident after living with them for a while.

* {{BadassBookworm}}: A given, being in Ravenclaw.

* {{TheSmartGuy}}: As a Ravenclaw, Padma is very intelligent and logical. She also tends to be a voice of reason for the group.

* {{ShrinkingViolet}}

* AffectionateNickname: Sirius calls him 'Pup'.

* [[LittleMissBadass Little Mister Badass]]: [[spoiler: He's the one who saves Sirius, Remus and Snape from a super-empowered Peter using the cruciatus curse on all three of them at one by hitting him with a broken piece of gravestone.]]

* SecretSecretKeeper: Like Hermione in canon, Harry works out that Lupin is a werewolf without anyone telling him. He keeps this knowledge to himself but eventually reveals that he knows Remus's secret a few chapters later.
* {{Sssssnaketalk}}: As in canon, Harry is a Parstletongue.

* GreenEyedEpiphany: Realizes that he's in love with Remus after getting jealous of the 'book-collectors' that would often drop by the bookshop to see Remus.

* TookALevelInKindness: As stated earlier, he's way shyer and quieter than his canon counterpart. Draco is much nicer, especially to house elves.

Snape is given the responsibility of teaching young Harry of the wizarding world. To that end, Snape brings Harry to Hogwarts, disguised as Snape's nephew 'Parvus Rana'. After spending time with Harry, Snape begins to care for Harry and takes it upon himself to look out for the boy.

* ImportantHaircut: Sports a shorter haircut than in canon. He got the haircut when making a deal with young Harry, who refused to get a haircut unless Snape did the same.
* OddCouple: With clumsy, cheerful Nymphadora Tonks. No, I'm not joking.

* {{BadassGay}}

* SecretSecret-Keeper: Like Hermione in canon, Harry works out that Lupin is a werewolf without anyone telling him. He keeps this knowledge to himself but eventually reveals that he knows Remus's secret a few chapters later.

* TookALevelinKindness: While still a grouch, Snape is nicer and more patient with Harry. It helps that Snape had a chance to bond with a young, impressionable Harry.

Like in the original series, Harry is the main protagonist of the story. He begins the story as a scrawny 8-year-old boy living with his abusive aunt and uncle. Harry befriends Sirius and Remus, who kidnap him from the Dursleys and decide to raise him on their own. He lives a much happier life with his new parental figures, although he's still in constant danger from Voldemort's followers. At Hogwarts, Harry is sorted into Slytherin and forms a group with Neville, Draco, and Padma.

Neville's parents were tortured into insanity by Bellatrix Lestrange and his grandmother was murdered sometime after. Neville was going to be sent to his Uncle Algernon (the same guy who dropped Neville out of a window), but ends up living with Ted and Andromeda Tonks instead. He is sorted into Gryffindor and becomes part of Harry's group of friends.

* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Neville is much more cheerful and outgoing. It's amazing how having supportive parental figures can boost one's self-esteem.

Harry doesn't befriend Hermoine in SH, but meets Padma instead. Padma wants nothing more than to be Sorted into a different House than her sister, Parvati. She gets her wish when she's placed in Ravenclaw and her sister in Gryffindor. Padma is part of Harry's group of friends.

Like in the original series, Harry is the main protagonist of the story. He begins the story as a scrawny 8-year-old boy living with his abusive aunt and uncle.

Harry befriends Remus and Padfoot against his aunt's wishes. He's eventually taken into Sirius and Remus' custody after Sirius finds out how Harry has been treated.
