Well, it deepens his sense of responsibility. Harry already has a lot on his shoulders as 'The Boy Who Lived', but this event adds another layer. He now feels an even greater obligation to protect those he cares about, especially Hermione. It also makes him more aware of the risks associated with his actions and those around him.
It makes him more selfless. By taking a hit for Hermione, he shows that he values her life above his own in that moment. This act of self - sacrifice is a huge step in his character growth, as it highlights his ability to put others first.
One good example could be 'The Unseen Bond'. In this fanfiction, Harry's quick reflexes kick in when a dark spell is aimed at Hermione during a battle in the Forbidden Forest. It delves into the emotional aftermath of such a selfless act, exploring Harry's feelings of protectiveness towards Hermione and how it changes their relationship dynamics.
The experience could also deepen Harry's understanding of loyalty and trust. He has to trust Sirius' judgment in taking him away from Hagrid. And he also has to learn to be loyal to Sirius in return, as they are now more closely bound together. This new relationship dynamic could add more layers to Harry's character, making him more complex and mature in his relationships with others.
It could make her character development more of a journey of catching up. She might be constantly striving to match Harry's level of knowledge or skills. For example, she could be more studious in order to prove that age doesn't limit her abilities.
Well, if Snape is Harry's godfather in the fanfiction, Harry might become more complex. He could inherit some of Snape's cynicism and guarded nature. Snape, being his godfather, would likely influence Harry's view of magic, perhaps making him more studious in potions and more attuned to the darker aspects of magic. This could also lead to a more conflicted Harry, as he has to balance Snape's teachings with what he learned from his friends at Hogwarts.
Often, in such fanfiction, they become more resilient. For example, if they are physically abused by Death Eaters, Harry might become more determined to fight against Voldemort and Hermione might use her intelligence to find ways to protect themselves and others. Their experiences of abuse shape them into stronger characters.
Well, it could make Harry more independent. Without Dumbledore's guidance, he has to rely on himself more. He might become more cautious as he no longer has that safety net. He could also grow to be more distrustful of authority figures since the one he trusted most has left him.
Often, detention scenes in Harry Potter fanfiction provide opportunities for characters to show their true nature. If a character is normally seen as a troublemaker, during detention they might show a more caring side. For example, Draco might help a first - year student who is also in detention out of pity or a sense of fairness, which is a side of him that is not often shown in the regular storylines. This helps to flesh out the character and make them more complex and interesting.
Growing up with Remus would also expose Harry to a different side of the wizarding world. Remus has connections with various magical beings and outcasts. Harry would then be more open - minded about different magical cultures and species. He would not be as quick to judge based on what he has been taught at Hogwarts, but rather form his own opinions. This would shape him into a more well - rounded and worldly wizard compared to the Harry we know from the original series.
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.
Well, in some fanfictions, Snape's discipline makes Harry more determined. Harry, facing Snape's strictness, learns to be more cautious in his actions and words. It forces him to think twice before doing something, which in turn helps him grow into a more responsible wizard.
