Harry is a Boy's Name by Alexannah

Summary: Lily and James were in hiding when Harry was born, and as such had little or no visitors. Word spread that they had a baby called Harry, and the automatic assumption was that Harry was a boy.

The Boy Who Lived is left for the Dursleys, with a letter telling them the baby is their nephew ... but when Petunia first changes 'his' nappy, she discovers a niece instead. Harry is actually a Harriet.

Petunia being Petunia, she decides she doesn't care, it was the wizards' mistake, and raises Harry a boy anyway. Since Harry closely resembles her father, especially in glasses, all that is needed is to keep her hair cut short and dress her in Dudley's old clothes.

Harry does not figure out the truth until after she has started Hogwarts, and after the initial shock, decides she doesn't want anyone to know ...
