This is a community for all those stories, long or short, complete or incomplete, in which Harry finds a mentor in one form or another, be it Snape, Dumbledore, Lupin, Sirius, McGonagall, a Weasley, or even an OC. Some of the stories have the mentor relationship as the main theme, but others cover wider issues such as abuse, parent/son relationships, and the little matter of defeating an evil and powerful Dark Lord.
