Summary
The morning of November 2nd, Petunia woke to discover her nephew abandoned on her front step with a letter explaining how Lily was killed by the magical supremacists she had been fighting.
Petunia knows two things: 1) the born magicals were going to put the rest of her family in danger by leaving Harry with her. 2) Harry would live a life hunted by these magical supremacists.
Sure, there were “wards” now set around her house, but Petunia had no faith in them. No, the only way to truly keep her nephew and family safe was for Harry to disappear into the broader world and be on the move. But who met that criteria? Who would be constantly on the move and where would born magicals never think to look? The Circus!
It just so happened Haly's Circus was on a world tour and had passed through Surrey.

Summary
The Elemental Lands were not the first place Kaguya went to; no, she had traveled to many different lands and one would suit Zetsu's needs perfectly. They needed a docile, vulnerable, and easily controlled Jinchūriki—what better way to achieve these outcomes than leaving the child among the peaceful, weak-willed hobbits of the Shire. His plan might have worked if any other hobbit had discovered the babe and Konoha wasn't so hard-pressed to recover their stolen Kyūbi Jinchūriki.

Summary
Living with the Dursleys instilled a desire for a big and loving family within Harry. So, when Harry encountered the Mirror of Erised first year, he not only saw his ancestors but also children of his own. When the Weasley family welcomed him into their fold, his dreams of a big family morphed into images of his friends standing alongside Harry and his children while their extended families smiled around them.
However, there were two problems facing his dream of a big family. One, none of his dreams ever featured a partner and everyone knows it takes two to have children. Two, he was starting to believe he’d die before he ever got the chance to start his own family.
Well, fourth year he was only partially right. Thanks Triwizard Tournament.

Summary
Assuming Cadmus' mad plan to ensure there would always be a Batman just spliced Warren McGinnis reproductive DNA with Bruce Wayne's DNA, then Terry McGinnis could have just as easily received an X chromosome instead of Bruce's Y chromosome. If so, would the Rebirth of Batman have started with Matt? But the world, Gotham in particular, needed a Batman again. The Jokerz overran the streets, and corrupt businesses were destroying the world through weaponry and ecological crimes. Pride and avarice were destroying Gotham, and Gotham needed its symbol of hope and justice again.
