Summary
In the sterile, cookie-cutter world of Privet Drive, Harry Potter is a "freak" whose only refuge is the dirt beneath his fingernails.
While his relatives, the Dursleys, view his forced gardening as a menial chore, Harry finds a rare, rhythmic peace in the soil. This quiet obsession leads him to the school library, where he bypasses children’s stories for heavy tomes on Botany, Eastern Medicine, and Toxicology. He begins to see the world not as a suburban wasteland, but as a vast, living pharmacy of potential cures and lethal secrets.
Or where Harry learns to harness and develop his potential earlier, with the assistance of an old lady who has just moved into the peaceful neighborhood of Privet Drive.

Summary
Yes yes, Harry is the twin of the Boy-Who-Lived. Yes, he is a Potter. Yes, he was there when You-Know-Who tried to kill his twin. No, he does not remember. And you know what, he doesn't care. All of that drama is for Ben, and he can keep it to himself. What he does care about is his mum, learning about magic, curse-breaking, and perhaps finding a nice boy to spend the rest of his life with.
