The concept can be developed by introducing a new magical element that makes Harry question his connection to his parents. Maybe a spell that shows him an alternate reality where his parents were different. This would shock him and cause him to distance himself from their memory. He might then try to rewrite his own story, independent of the Potter family narrative.
A simple way is to change Harry's perception of his parents. For instance, if he finds out that they were involved in some not - so - noble deeds in their past, it would give him a reason to ignore them. He could then start to look for role models elsewhere, like among the outcasts in Hogwarts.
One way to develop this concept is through the exploration of Harry's emotional state. If he feels suffocated by the expectations placed on him because of his parents, he might choose to ignore them. He could start to focus on his own desires and dreams. For example, instead of following in his father's footsteps as a Quidditch star, he could pursue a different passion like potion - making or ancient runes study, all while trying to break free from the shadow of his parents.
It can be developed by focusing on how his daily life at Hogwarts changes. For instance, the staircases that move could be a huge obstacle. So the fanfiction could explore how he and his friends come up with solutions like using magic carpets or levitating charms. Also, his broom - flying might need to be reimagined. Maybe he gets a special broom that can be attached to his wheelchair and he can fly around in a different but still exciting way.
One way is through his relationships. For example, if he's been let down by his friends, he might start to feel numb towards them. He could start to distance himself and not feel the same emotions he once did. Another way is through his experiences with the wizarding world's politics. If he feels constantly used or manipulated, it could lead to this numbness.
The concept can be developed by exploring the emotional turmoil of the character stuck as an Animagus. For example, they might feel isolated or frustrated. They could also face challenges in their daily life at Hogwarts. If it's Harry, he might struggle to attend classes or interact with his friends properly. Another way is to create a mystery around how they got stuck and what needs to be done to reverse it. This could involve searching for ancient spells or magical artifacts.
One possible 'Harry Potter ignored parents' fanfiction could be one where Harry, after learning some dark secrets about his parents, decides to distance himself from their memory. In this fic, he might focus more on his own identity independent of what his parents were like. He could start exploring magic in a way that doesn't rely on the legacy they left behind.
It could start with Harry hitting a really low point due to his alcoholism. Maybe he fails a major exam or loses a close friend because of his drinking. Then, he realizes he needs to change. He could go on a journey of self - discovery, perhaps traveling to a far - off wizarding place to detox and learn new magical skills. This new environment would help him start fresh and build a new identity for himself.
It could be developed by making his eyes a symbol of his unique identity. For example, they could be the reason he has a special connection to certain magical creatures. Maybe he can communicate with a rare beast because of his eyes.
Well, it likely makes him more independent. He has to rely on himself more without parental support. He might grow up quicker, learning to fend for himself and make his own decisions earlier than he would have with loving parents.
One popular 'Harry Potter Ignored by Parents' fanfic could be 'The Forgotten Boy'. In this fic, the author delves deep into how Harry copes with the emotional turmoil of being ignored by his parents. Another might be 'Alone in the Magic World' which shows his struggles in Hogwarts while constantly feeling the lack of parental support. There's also 'The Orphan's Struggle' that focuses on his journey to find his own identity despite the void left by his parents.
One common plotline is Harry finding a surrogate family. It could be his friends like Ron and Hermione who become like his true family. They support him and give him the love and care he didn't get from his parents.
Another way to develop it is through his relationships. For example, Hermione could be initially skeptical but then help him research. Ron, on the other hand, might be a bit grossed out but still support Harry. Their interactions could add depth to the story as Harry tries to master his insect - controlling abilities.
