comment
Voldemort's Children is an ongoing Harry Potter fanfic webcomic by Eli Dupree, set in an Alternate Universe where... well...The story starts with Hermione Granger, the Head of Auror Office, interrogating Harry Potter, who has been arrested for killing a lot of people. It quickly becomes clear that this version of Harry hasn't escaped the effects of ten years of abuse. And that's only the beginning...The author describes Voldemort's Children as "A reimagining of the Harry Potter series from a neurodiversity and social-justice perspective", and their annotations often begin with a question about a moral or philosophical issue.The art style is unique in never using panels; each page is a continuous flow of images and dialogue.As a story comic with its own continuity, it should be read from the beginning.On indefinite hiatus since July 24th 2012, though according to the author's update on 2016, the story is 80% complete and that they've already scripted out and sketched the remaining pages for the comic but are unsure if they'd ever finish it due to their hand problems.

comment
Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: Harry certainly believes this to be the case, because most of the people he killed were people who keep and own slaves.

Cold-Blooded Torture: When Draco reasonably chooses not to sit next to Voldemort on the bed, Voldemort then grabs Draco by the hair and uses a combination of Silencio and Crucio to torture Draco while keeping him silenced.

Painting the Medium: Each character gets a distinct text style for their speech. For example, Harry's is sharp and ragged, Luna is a sort of nebular green, and Dumbledore talks in script.

comment
Our Time Travel Is Different: The Time-Twister. In this story, it allows the user to travel back in time by 1 hour. Hermione used hers to study more during her time at Hogwarts and she still has it, even years later., Voldemort is seen wearing one around his neck, and is mentioned to have used his so often that he's done a lot of damage to spacetime, and may also explain his rather bored demeanour.

comment
Fake Memories: During a tutoring session on Legilimency, Snape challenges Harry to read through Snape's memories. Upon asking what Harry saw, Snape then asks Harry what Snape had said in the memory. When Harry points out that Snape only asked what he saw, Snape tells Harry that he saw nothing because he altered the memory so that Harry would see what Snape wanted him to see.

Morality Kitchen Sink: Almost every stripe and shade of hero, anti-hero, bystander, anti-villain, and villain imaginable, from the (usually) morally upstanding Hermione Granger and zir assistant and close friend Tonks to the murderous yet ethically-deliberate Harry Potter to the seemingly incomprehensible Luna Lovegood and the cruel yet possibly broken Voldemort. The work excels at providing characters of a veritable rainbow of moralities.

Adaptational Nice Guy: While Severus Snape is still a cold and strict teacher, the authors notes mention that he's far less petty than his canon self. This is supported by Snape mentoring Harry after discovering the boy using Legilimency to answer a question in one of his classes.

Deconstruction
 Voldemort's Children (Webcomic) / int_8ae880f7
comment
Deconstruction: This comic goes with the idea that Dumbledore's idea to send Harry to be raised by his remaining biological family was horribly misguided, leading to Harry living in an abusive household for 10 years. His time at Hogwarts and learning memory reading magic in addition to school bullying and learning revelations about his past and Voldemort's influence over the lives of everyone causes Harry to go down a dark path. The authors note for Page 91 points that International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, a system that basically forces new Hogwarts students not to tell anyone about their new lives and leave their friends behind is rather similar to abusive relationships. It also mentions that the system is discriminatory towards Muggle-born students simply because they lack the innate advantages that a magic-born child possesses, and are expected to adapt to a social system they have no proper understanding of.

 Voldemort's Children (Webcomic) / int_a2e84479
comment
Slowly Slipping Into Evil: The first five chapters involve Harry telling Hermonie and Tonks about how he became a Dark Lord. It involves him discovering that Dumbledore lied to him, a meeting with Luna Lovegood, dealing with school bullies, a toxic atmosphere and liberal use of Legilimency for him to go down the dark path.

Irony

comment
Irony: The authors notes for Page 89 mentions that Dumbledore used mind magic to shut down Mrs Cole's questions about Hogwarts, which tends to be in line with how a good chunk of Harry Potter fanfiction tends to make Dumbledore far more morally ambiguous, and gives him a hefty case of Good is Not Nice. As the author points out, they find it ironic that they had to make Dumbledore a nicer person for their story to work when other Harry Potter fanfics goe the opposite direction.

Telepathy: Harry discovers early on that he is a Legilimens, prompting Snape to mentor the boy. Later on, Snape chides Harry for his lack of subtly after using it to discover that Draco fears him, before Snape tells Harry to use Legilimency on him. During a fight with Draco Malfoy, he uses this to discover that Voldemort had a far happier childhood before he met Lord Voldemort.

Despite swearing to himself that he would kill Dumbledore for forcing him to live with the Dursleys for 10 years, he cannot bring himself to kill Dumbledore and ends up sparing him anyway.
