Summary
Harry Potter has honestly enjoyed his four years as a Gryffindor. He loves the friends, the camaraderie, the cozy feeling of Gryffindor Tower – oh, and getting to be the Boy-who-Lived, wizarding superstar, isn't bad either. The House of Lions helped him to become the friendly, warm, fun-loving kid he is today – and set aside his past as the terror of Little Whinging Primary, the cold, angry boy who hurt Muggles with magic.
But it's not that simple. He hates being in danger every year. He hates the way he underperforms in classes. He can't quite let go of the manipulative ways of his childhood, still lurking beneath the surface. And after watching Lord Voldemort murder Cedric Diggory, he's absolutely petrified. He wants out. He wants to stop being Harry Potter.
When the wards protecting Harry fail, Professor Dumbledore offers him the chance to go into hiding: to adopt a new name and a new face, placed with the family of an Order member so he can return to Hogwarts incognito. Harry accepts, and lets his childhood self come rushing back in the persona of the cunning, dark, and ever so Slytherin Miss Iolanthe Snape.
She finds it all too easy to change. The question is, will she ever want to change back?

"You were born into a turbulent time, and brought that turbulence with you too, and lived within it, and caused it, an eternal cycle. A harbinger of changing days, that’s what a cast like this means. The axis on which the world will turn.” - Theodore Nott.

Summary
There is a picture in one of the books of a worn young man, heavily scarred with gentle eyes. Remus Lupin, he is identified as. The man who was watching Charles, and presumably Harry. The man who died defending them. Harry traces his fingertips over the man’s face and wonders.
And then he stops, and reels all those thoughts into a tangled knot and tucks it away.
They didn’t want him; that’s fine. He doesn’t want them either.

Alternatively; Harry James Evans is Sorted Slytherin, desperate to stay hidden from the family that gave him up so many years ago. Severus Snape owes debts to a child presumed dead and the child's tormented godfather; and now he has a cunning, paranoid snake to charm all without tipping anyone else off to the boy's true identity.
