* GoldDigger: The Weasleys in this fic were only interested in Harry so they could get their hands on his Gringotts vault, despite having been far too proud to take his money in canon.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Dumbledore and the Weasleys.
* KnightFever: Harry is now Lord Potter. See MoralDissonance.
* LovePotion: The Weasleys had a plot, which was apparently two years in the making, to dose Harry and Hermione with one so that they'd fall for Ginny and Ron.
* ManipulativeBastard: Dumbledore is even more manipulative here than he is in canon, but [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain less effective]].
* MenActWomenAre: Most of the plot of the fic seems to be driven by the male characters, with even Hermione being relegated to a supporting role even though she's named in the header.
* MoralDissonance: As in [[Fanfic/InThisWorldAndTheNext some of the author's other works]], the canonical "pureblood supremacy is bad" message clashes severely with how the reader is supposed to be cheering for "Lord Potter" as he gleefully boasts about being better than everyone else because he had the right ancestry. Oops.
* MugglesDoItBetter: A running theme throughout the fic is how wizards underestimate {{Muggles}}, culminating in Mrs Granger shooting Mrs Weasley. Which MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext.
* MythologyGag: As is customary for the author, Mr and Mrs Granger are called [[Creator/DanielRadcliffe Dan]] and [[Creator/EmmaWatson Emma]].
* ObligatorySwearing: There's a lot more of it than in the books, even allowing for Creator/JKRowling's famed NarrativeProfanityFilter.
** ClusterFBomb: ... a ''lot'' more.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Every antagonist in the fic is a pureblood supremacist, regardless of how little sense it makes from their canon portrayal.
* PeggySue
* PerfectSolutionFallacy: As far as this fic is concerned, the fact that Dumbledore's plan to defeat Voldemort had some flaws makes him as evil as Voldemort himself.
