More than Magic

Disclaimer: I own neither Charmed nor Harry Potter, if I did this would be part of the real TV or book story, not just posted on the internet.
This is being done answering to a Challenge of "Brilliance of the Moon". The details are as follows:
Harry's parents are alive and Harry has a twin that is hailed as the boy-who-lived. Harry becomes a lonely child until he discovers some dormant whitelighter blood in his veins with the help of a whitelighter. He learns to orb etc... and fight demons mean while hiding this from his parents.
Rules:
1. Harry works against Voldemort
2. Remus and Sirius also ignore Harry.
3. The whitelighter character is female and becomes a mother figure to Harry. (This could be Paige if you want.)
4. Be creative.
5. Wyatt and Chris can be involved but as teenagers, they could be honorary big brothers to Harry.
.---.
Now, in the summary you can see what I made out of that:
Harry has a twin, who's called the 'boy who lived' instead of him; Prue's unborn daughter was given a chance to live; two evils ally to destroy the world; and the only hope of salvation rests in a couple of teenagers who have no idea of what destiny has in store for them.
So, let's begin with this story!
Prologue.
Harry and Harvey, the twin sons of James Potter and Lily Evans-Potter, were inside their crib that night, it was late but due to some noises they had awakened. Just some minutes later an awful-looking man entered. He was covered in a dark cloak and holding what looked like a wooden stick in his hand, he pointed it to the boys.
"I've heard the prophecies; I know one of you one day might wield a power greater than mine, even if I don't know which." The man hissed evilly. "That's why I won't let either of you live to that day. Avada Kedavra!"
It all happened too fast for any of them to really notice, a sort of shield of a glowing sky-blue appeared in front of the older twin: Harry, as he got in front of Harvey. The green flash of the curse rebounded in the glowing shield, hitting the one who had cast it. The consequences were immediate and quite evident, there was a shrieking scream as the body of the evil man turned into dust and what looked like a shadow left the room through a window.
Some seconds later Lily Potter entered the room yelling for her children and what she found inside confused her greatly: Harvey was in his crib, sobbing in a mix of fear and confusion for the situation he had just gone through, while Lily's eldest son: Harry, was sitting on the floor, below the crib, no one really knew how he had gotten there.
.---.
The following morning the news were official: Lord Voldemort had disappeared, hopefully for good, and it was all thanks to the 'boy who lived' as the people named him. The only one who had ever survived a direct attack from the Dark Lord: Harvey Potter.
At least that was what everyone believed, they had no idea that the real hero had been in fact Harry, and it's not like anyone there would have been able to explain the fact to them.
And so the Potters became famous, for being the parents of the boy to whom the whole magic community owed their peace. Lots of people would go see them, or invite them over to their homes, always with the hope of meeting the 'boy who lived'.
Lily and James seemed very happy with what was going on, as well as Harvey's godfather: Sirius Black. They were all very proud of little Harvey.
And somehow, apparently without any of the adults even noticing, ever so slowly they began pushing Harry away. Almost as if he didn't exist anymore, Harvey seemed to be the only one who mattered and Harry…he had become a no one in his own family.
