What if Professor Dumbledore had adopted one of the Hogwarts students? What if that kid went on to marry and name his family Dumbledore? What if he later had a kid and gave her the name Phoenix Dumbledore? What if she went to Hogwarts at the same time as Harry Potter? What if we had a different story, one where instead of Harry, Ron, and Hermione it was simply Harry, Ron, and Phoenix? What if Phoenix had a great influence over Harry?
What if Severus Snape married a muggle-born witch when Lily rejected him? What if they had a daughter and named her Lyra Snape? What if she was the same age as Phoenix? What if her best friend was Draco? And what if she had a hand in what he did and how he acted?
What if all these things came into play? How would the world of Harry Potter change? And most importantly, what would it change?
