Harry Potter is the main character of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series.
Fanon
- Harry being oblivious/bad with names to explain inconsistencies in the canon (popularized by Maya)
- Harry having (uncanonical) psychological consequences of being raised in a cupboard (related: "Kathy/B. Bennett Therapy Theory" / Chain-smoking Harry[1])
- One step up from the above is Sexually Abused!Harry, who is sexually abused by the Dursleys, and frequently rescued by Snape
- Dark!Harry (e.g. Harry teaming up with or replacing Voldemort)
- Powerful!Harry (sometimes "Super Harry"), Azkaban!Harry, Slytherin!Harry
Shipping
Popular het ships including Harry are Harry/Ginny and Harry/Hermione, which caused some discussion and wank among fans over which of these two pairings would become canon[2]. Some people also wrote lengthy shipping essays on the topic[3].
Popular slash ships include Harry/Snape and Harry/Draco. Other common slash ships include Harry/Ron and Harry/Voldemort.
Additionally, the threesome ship Harry/Ron/Hermione is popular. Other threesomes or moresomes are also common (eg Harry/Snape/Voldemort, Harry/Draco/Snape), as are Harry/"Harem" stories in some fannish circles (FanFiction.net?).
