It's a less "canon-like" girl!Harry, though, and it is more of a canon rehash (going through different paths to arrive to more or less the same canon climaxes of the books), but it's fairly decent.
Another one that looks interesting is Rose Potter -- The-Girl-Who-Lived by josephina_x
It's still too early to tell where it's going (plot and character-wise), but so far it's a little more, ah, I wouldn't say "dark", but it strikes me as less cheery than most fanfiction and even the books. A bit more poignant, at times?
The Harry in this one is a little more jaded and perceptive, but also even more quick to jump to conclusions and make wrong judgements.
It's a weird atmosphere (for me), but I've liked it so far.
It hasn't updated in a while, though, and I don't know if this is normal for the author or if they lost steam.
Re: really cool fem!Harry Potter fic
That's what sold me on it. Snape is not a good person, even if he ultimately fought on the protagonists' side.
(I am genuinely curious, in a wary sort of way, about how the author will go about developing Snape into someone who is at least decent.)
Good Girl!Harry fic is kind of a rare beast.
If you are interested in reading more later, I also recommend Girl in the War by astridfire
