In the fanfiction, Snape's impression might make him more protective of Harry. He could start to subtly look out for Harry's well - being, whether it's in the face of other students' bullying or more dangerous threats from the dark side. This would be a significant change from their usually strained relationship in the original story.
On the other hand, it could also lead to a strange kind of understanding. Maybe Harry realizes that Snape is under a great deal of pressure and that the punch was a momentary lapse. This could make Harry more empathetic towards Snape, although he might still be angry about being punched.
The relationship would become more complex. Snape would have a certain level of control over Harry as his familiar. This would force Snape to be more responsible for Harry's well - being. Harry, in turn, would have to rely on Snape in a new way.
In a fanfiction scenario, Harry's actions could cause a complete breakdown in any potential for a positive relationship between them. Snape's loyalty to Dumbledore and his role in protecting Harry from the shadows would be put at risk. Harry would have to face the fact that he may have made a huge mistake. And Snape, who has sacrificed so much already, would be in an even more precarious position, both with Voldemort and in the wizarding world in general. This could lead to a chain of events that completely alters the course of the wizarding war, with far - reaching consequences for both Harry and Snape.
The relationship would become extremely strained. Harry would likely go from having some level of respect or at least tolerance for Snape to feeling intense hatred. He might avoid Snape at all costs and even start to plot revenge in his head.
At first, Snape would be extremely suspicious of Harry. But as Harry proves his intentions by actually helping him, Snape would gradually start to trust him. Their relationship would become less antagonistic. Snape might even start to see Harry as an ally rather than just James Potter's son.
It often shows a power - imbalanced relationship. Snape, being in a dominant position, can bring out both fear and respect from Harry. Harry may initially rebel against Snape's dominance but gradually learn from it.
At first, it's likely to be very tense. Snape has always had a grudge against Harry because of his father. But as they live together, they start to see each other's true selves. Harry might see Snape's vulnerability and intelligence, while Snape might see Harry's courage and determination that are different from James's arrogance.
Often, it starts with intense dislike. Snape is constantly critical of Harry in class, deducting points for the slightest mistakes. Harry, in turn, sees Snape as a bully. As the story progresses, there might be small moments of grudging respect, like when Harry realizes Snape's intelligence in potions, but the overall hatred remains for a long time.
At first, it could be very tense. Harry might be reluctant to submit, but as time goes on, he starts to see Snape in a different light. This could lead to a grudging respect. For example, Snape might show Harry some advanced potions techniques that no one else has taught him, which makes Harry realize Snape's value.
In this fanfiction, the relationship between Snape and Harry might become more intertwined. Harry could initially be resentful of Snape for the spanking, but over time, he might come to understand Snape's motives. And Snape, on the other hand, might start to see Harry not just as James Potter's son but as an individual in need of guidance. This could lead to a transformation in their relationship, from one of hostility to a more nuanced connection where they both learn from each other.
