What kind of relationship do Harry and Dumbledore have in 'Dumbledore is Harry's guardian' fanfiction?

Dumbledore, as Harry's guardian in the fanfiction, would probably use his influence in the wizarding world. He could make sure that Harry is taught by the best teachers at Hogwarts. He'd also be there to offer advice and guidance, especially when Harry faces challenges like dealing with Voldemort or other dark forces. For example, he might teach Harry some advanced defensive magic privately to better protect himself.

One reason could be that Dumbledore had too many other responsibilities in the wizarding world. He was the headmaster of Hogwarts and was constantly involved in dealing with the threat of Voldemort on a larger scale. He might not have been able to give Harry the individual attention and care that a true guardian should provide.

One possible reason could be that Dumbledore wants Harry to have a more normal upbringing away from the spotlight of Hogwarts and his own influence. So he deliberately steps back from the role of guardian.

Dumbledore might give Harry advanced spellcasting training. He could teach Harry some of the more complex and ancient spells that are not commonly taught at Hogwarts.

The relationship would become very strained. Harry's rejection would likely make Dumbledore re - evaluate his actions and how he has interacted with Harry. Dumbledore might be shocked at first, since he probably thought Harry was on the same page as him most of the time.

As the story progresses, Dumbledore might try to make amends. He could start revealing some of his secrets to Harry in an attempt to regain his trust. Harry, on the other hand, would be hesitant at first but gradually start to listen and understand Dumbledore's reasons.

Well, it could show that their relationship was based on false pretenses. Harry might find out that Dumbledore had ulterior motives for taking him under his wing. In the fanfiction, this would completely change the dynamic. Instead of the warm, if somewhat distant, relationship in the books, it could be a relationship where Harry feels used and deceived. This new view of the relationship would likely drive Harry to break away from Dumbledore's influence and forge his own path more determinedly.

He might be motivated by a desire to protect Harry's reputation. Fanfiction can be full of wild and untrue stories, and Dumbledore doesn't want Harry to be misrepresented.

Well, in some fanfictions, Harry might attack Dumbledore if he discovers that Dumbledore has been using him as a pawn in a bigger game all along. This feeling of betrayal could drive him to lash out. Also, if there is a prophecy that he misinterprets to mean Dumbledore is a threat to his future or the future of his friends, that could be a motive.

Well, it might be a fanfic where a new dark wizard emerges with a unique power to manipulate memories, and they target Dumbledore's memories of Harry Potter. Or it could be a story where Dumbledore gets caught in a complex web of magical experiments gone awry, leading to this memory loss.
