Words that rhyme with Potter
For lyric work, potter behaves as a workaday word. Sound-wise: two-syllable, vowel on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, finally it spills out through a liquid consonant. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Pool data: perfect-rhyme territory is narrow, family rhymes come up empty, and the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. Assonance is where the modern songwriting toolkit lives for this one.

Why potter rhymes the way it does
Potter sits on the /ษหr/ vowel, transcribed /ษหr/ in our engine, and flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 19 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 45, assonance 6,736, and consonance 1021. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for potter tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
