Foster by Kitsune-chan

Summary: Inspired by all of those stories where Harry is severely abused but either nobody notices, or he tells and then isn't believed. In this one, a teacher/ school nurse/ neighbor notices Harry's poor condition, and the abuse (please don't make it too extensive) is revealed. Harry is removed from the Dursleys, they're arrested, and Harry ends up adopted by a nice Muggle family (possibly even changing his last name). Because his new family doesn't have a problem with Harry's magic, Hagrid doesn't take him to Diagon (and he probably goes at a different time, therefore not meeting Draco), Harry's far more confident in himself, etc. Up to you whether Dumbledore and the others realize that Harry is in fact Harry Potter, or if Harry's thought to be a muggleborn. I would like it if Harry's Sorted into a different House. Up to you how Harry and Severus interact; maybe they discover that Severus is Harry's father, but Harry doesn't want to leave his foster family. The foster family can be complete OC's, or the family of one of the canon muggleborns.
