After two years of murder attempts and terrible summers, ominous letters from the Ministry and adults who act like they care but never actually do anything, Harry decides to grab the basilisk by the horns. In the few weeks he has before school begins, Harry learns more about himself, his family, and his role in the magical world. When third year starts, he just hopes he's ready.
[A canon retelling starting in PoA through DH, with a Harry that's just a bit more perceptive, a Sirius with changed priorities, and a caring Theo]

Summary
"Yer a wizard, Harry..."
"You are mistaken, sir," Henry said firmly. "I’m aware of what my parents were. But I am not… that sort of person. I’m normal."* * *
"I'll be a dentist in a year," Hermione replied with a pleasant smile when Petunia asked. The woman's eyes sparkled, and she shot a look at Henry.
"I'm delighted you joined us, Miss Granger," she said with visible pleasure.
"Hermione is just fine," the young witch assured quickly.
Henry knew what his mother was thinking. He didn't correct her. Not that he would engage in a relationship with Hermione. Well... if she were a dentist, he could, but a full-time witch? Not a chance.OR
Harry Potter quickly adjusted to living with the Dursleys. He quickly adapted their norms as his own.
Hogwarts? No, thank you. I'll be an Oxford-educated lawyer, let's be serious.

Summary
Questions are the basis of all curiosity and it takes only one to start many more. A few changes in the years leading up to fourth year make a lot of difference. He starts questioning Dumbledore and the circumstances surrounding the events in his first three years. He seeks advice, reluctantly, from an unconventional source and finds that things are not as they seem. In fourth year, well, let's just say, Harry's not happy with the lack of answers. Dumbledore has rolled the die. Now, it's Harry's turn.
