Here, have a hanky. I might possibly use a similar intro one day, but an actual potterfic? Not bloody likely.
Besides, I don't have any real idea on why he'd have been (smirk) made into a sleeper agent to begin with, nor how to have the peripheral cast - professors, Marauders, Weasleys, etc. - react... Presumably, the majority of the wazarding world is far less automatically upset about Slytherins than the Gryffindor-focussed canon cast, but Snapes reaction alone would need to be pure gold, and how Hagrid, already a solid Harry buddy before the sorting, would react would need some careful planning too.
Dumbledore... I think, despite what I wrote before, Albus would in fact (attempt, at least) to treat him exactly the same, given his professed beleifs about inter-house cooperation and school unity, and the fact that it's just one more congruence in what seems to be a big nature-vs-nurture exeriment comparing a Potter and a Riddle raised in circumstances as similar as feasible - thoguh again, I go for the interpretation that he truly is a well meaning person who does the best he can with some very good information sources, but still makes mistakes and has lived so long he's lost touch with the way kids feel about things, for all he tries to act like one himself when he has the option.

CROW: (hypnotized) A twisted man who wants to inflict his pain upon others.
