Can a judge dismiss aggravated assault charges if the victim came to your home to harm you and you defended yourself?

It depends how serious the defence was. Say the person that was attacking was murdered than yes.
Another Perspective
You would need to prove that at trial by evidence, having the law on your side, and a good lawyer. If you threw the first punch, even if you felt threatened, then it may not go well for you. If you think a person came to your house to harm you but you attacked first, you would be considered the aggressor.

Sorry, but this is the classic case of 'he said' versus 'he said.' You're going to have to defend yourself by telling your story to counter-act the other party's story. If you have witnesses so much the better. If charges are brought against you don't run from them, it will only get worse from that point on.
