As for turning canon upside down, I think it can be done without actually breaking it. Most of Hijja's fics, apart from her overrating of Lucius Malfoy, stay well within canon. And have you had a look at some of mine? I like to think that something like The First Nymphadora really does something to make you look at several features of canon from a different viewpoint.
I haven't read the First Nymphadora yet, but I'll definitely have a look.
Recently, Not in the Hands of Boys, by Fourth Rose got my attention in that respect: there is unfortunately a slight pro-Slytherin bias (and it is H/D, which I think is not your cup of tea; anyway the "romantic" aspect of the fic is not the best handled nor what makes it truly fascinating), but it raises many questions on the Deathly Hallows and on Dumbledore, it's really thought-provoking. Its use of the epilogue in particular is a stroke of genius.
