  Definitely something to add. I do this same thing, and haven't read any
  fanfic so as not to get muddled.

I understand your abstention from any type of fanfic, my own husband refuses to read my fic from the same reason, but i think it is a little too global.

There are fics out there, good ones, that do not occur during Harry's Hogwarts years, and have almost nothing in common with the canon plot. Take PoU for instance, there is no chance it would get you confused about the HP main-stream. And when i say 'take PoU' i mean it literally. It's not just a good fic, it's a great work of art. After that, you can start on ASA and STNE, both fit into the same 'wonderful but harmless' categories.
