serpant-sorcerer's Stranger in an Unholy Land is an example of the "Mirror Universe" cliche being pulled off right - and despite his userid, the only technical problems I noticed with his writing were generally spellchecker barfs, where even if he'd ahd the right word it would likely have been listed as wrong. It's a 6th year fic, but while there are the occasioanl references to HBP in mid to late chapters, the alternate universe is different enoguh that there is little impact, and some fundamental differences - I can say, as only very minor spoilers, that Snape2 is entirely Dumbledore's man, for example, and various people are dead or not dead. Heck, the USSR is still around, instead of having collapsed in 1991. Theres a small degree of SuperHarry, but he has to work and suffer for it. A recnt author's note metioned that the events of HBP are happening in the original world without Harry, or without the Harry we're following... it's billed as the first part of a trilogy, and some of the ... dammit, word's on the tip of my tongue, starts with an E ... as-you-know-Bob-ing has suggested the possibility of a trio of alternste Harrys having jumped one step to the left in conjuntion with that, but there is no information as such to be had.
There is also a YahooGroup called stranger_trilogy tat is kept one chapter ahead of FF.n and The Dark Arts - I don't have a link for TDA, but I imagine there's a search function there that could find it for those with philosophical objections to using FF.n or joining YahooGroups.
