We'll add that one to the handbook on how to de-snarkify folks. My snark quotient dropped at least 0.8% from that alone.
Hmm. Harry Potter is so huge that this question encompasses roughly half a million stories and possibly hundreds of archives. The archives tend to be character or pairing specific, not gen or slash. If you'd asked for a particular character or het between particular characters....
The Sugar Quill (http://www.sugarquill.net/) only has low-rating fics (and even the R-rated fics are very mild) and only allows Remus/Sirius slash fic. 99.9% of those fics are Gen. I've posted my longer Gen stories there (http://www.sugarquill.net/index.php?action=profile&id=544) but I've never explored the rest of the site.
Another option is to create an account at Fiction Alley (http://www.fictionalley.org/) and ask people in this forum (http://forums.fictionalley.org/park/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=19) to recommend great Gen stories.
I recommend this, actually. The trouble in HP is not in finding Gen stories. The trouble is sorting through the massive quantities of Gen stories.
