OP probably not looking any longer, but appears OP took photo in the morning.
Tree going for the afternoon sum, was in shade when small.
Would guess the OP also just recently moved into the house, and original owners trimmed the branches off the house side.
Also guessing one of the first houses in the neighborhood, as all the other trees are much smaller, possibly an original tree that the developers did not clear cut?
Leave it be. Trim house side branches in the future only when it gets big enough for squirrels to jump over into your eaves and attic .
I also have a leaning tree, i kind of like how it looks, but don't want it to lean any further. There is a sturdy tree right next to it, if I don't mind aesthetically (which i dont) how it looks, is tying a heavy duty rope to the sturdy tree an option to not have it lean more?
What kind of tree is it? How much is it leaning?I also have a leaning tree, i kind of like how it looks, but don't want it to lean any further.

Looks like a Pin Oak... It's not blowing anywhere ... I'd also want to see if it not leaning towards the sun??? The comment about standing on the ground a few feet from the tree when the wind is strong into the lean is the way to know if you have a root issue. The ground will lift a few inches. That main root pointing at the camera can be looked at in a wind storm... I bet it doesn't move at all.

Just curious how deep is your topsoil there? Looks like none of the bigger roots are actually in the ground... mearly under the sod... try avoiding any lawnmower damage to those roots and looks like the weed Wacker may have gotten a couple good licks in too.
