bolsonI hereby link for you and share this Harry Potter fanfic I have enjoyed reading: "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality". The premise is that Aunt Petunia didn't marry Mr Dursley but instead a philosophy professor and Harry was brought up to love Science and Reason and turns out to be exceptionally bright (in an Ender Wiggin sorta way). It may occasionally get a little longwinded and preachy and pedantic about Rationality, but I found it to be more amusing and acceptable than certain libertarian screeds (Ayn Rand, Terry Goodkind's finale in book 13 of his series) and it seems to have a genuine Humanist appreciation for the general goodness and worth of people rather than the colder view of those other things.
It's been serialized out a chapter or so at a time over the last several months and it's not done yet (now at the end of January in this alternate version of Harry's first year at Hogwarts), but there is 1.5MB of html there to read so far and I'll be going back for more every couple weeks.
