Not to discourage you, but if you are interested in these themes,
Cassandra's fic "Draco Sinister" comes close to this theme of a
reconfiguration of the Hogwart's four in their descendants.  And Lori's PoU
and also independently Cassandra's Draco Dormien's introduces themes of
Harry (in PoU) and Harry and Draco (in Draco Dormiens) as a special types of
wizards with particular powers, which would explain Voldemort's particular
interest in Harry.  Give them a try...very well written, and they explore
these themes and conflicts in very interesting ways.
