Taking fanfic cliches and making something worthwhile!

Powerful!Harry stories (like Jeconais' Hope or Philo's The Apple Tree)

Well conceived 7th year stories (following HBP, like Vorabiza's Secrets)

Magical inheritance stories (like v v c's Raspberry Jam)

Original Manipulative!Dumbledore stories

Apprentice-ship stories or training stories (like Draco664's Apprentice Potter and Journeyman Potter or Taking Control, where Harry is trained by the ghost of Sirius Black, or Ishtar's Fidelius, where Harry is trained by house elves and the ghost of Peter Pettigrew)

Very, very good retellings of the Year 1 through 7 canon (have looked at quite a few bad ones, but I really enjoyed the multi-book Midnight Guardian series)

Well-done slash

The rare, well-crafted crossover (see Ishtar's Family Values, with Harry Potter growing up in the Addams Family!)

Well-done Dark Harry stories (like Naia's Anarkia)

Unusual experiments that seem to work (like the second-person telling of Jbern's Bungle in the Jungle and its sequel Let Me Loose)
