It is inappropriate because the Harry Potter series is a source of inspiration for many, especially young readers. Depicting a main character like Harry in such a self - destructive act can have a bad influence on those who look up to him. Also, self - harm is a very personal and often traumatic topic that doesn't belong in a fictional world that is supposed to be a form of escapism. The Harry Potter world is about magic and adventure, not self - harm.
One possible reason could be extreme stress. Peter Parker has a lot on his plate, being Spider - Man and having a normal life. If in the fanfiction he faces a series of really tough situations like failing to save someone important or being hunted by a very powerful enemy, the stress might get to him and lead to self - harm as a way of coping. Another reason could be feelings of isolation. Even though he has friends, he might feel like no one truly understands the dual life he leads, so in the fanfiction this could drive him to such a desperate act.
Well, it could lead to a major turning point. Snape might be shocked and try to help Harry get the support he needs.
Most likely not. Self - harm is a very serious and disturbing topic, and it goes against the positive and magical spirit of the Harry Potter series. The official Harry Potter works are about friendship, courage, and fighting against evil, not about self - harm. And J.K. Rowling would not likely support such a dark and inappropriate fanfiction.
Well, it could be that he has lost all hope. In the fanfiction world, if the situation becomes so dire that he sees no way out for himself or the people he loves. For example, if Voldemort manages to gain complete control and Harry Potter thinks his sacrifice by taking his own life might be the ultimate solution to break Voldemort's power. He might also be suffering from post - traumatic stress after all the battles and losses, leading him to this extreme decision.
In the fanfiction, Harry Potter might live by himself because he is tired of the spotlight. After being in the public eye for so long, he desires a private life. He may also feel that living alone allows him to better understand himself and his powers. It could be that he has a prophecy or a personal quest that requires solitude. For example, he might be trying to master a very difficult and dangerous spell that he doesn't want anyone else to be in danger from if something goes wrong. Also, he could be exploring some dark corners of magic that the wizarding world might not approve of, and living alone gives him the freedom to do so without judgment.
It could be the pressure of being 'The Boy Who Lived'. Harry has so much expected of him all the time, and it might just be too much to bear.
One possible reason could be his self - loathing. He has a complex past and has made many difficult choices. In fanfiction, the authors might explore his inner turmoil through self - harm as a way of expressing his pain. He may feel that he doesn't deserve any better because of his actions and mistakes.
It could be due to the trauma he has experienced. Losing friends and facing Voldemort multiple times has surely left deep scars. Isolating himself might be his way of dealing with the post - trauma stress. He needs time alone to heal and come to terms with everything that has happened.
One possible reason could be to hide his true identity. In the world of fanfiction, there might be threats or situations where he doesn't want to be easily recognized as Harry Potter. Maybe he wants to start anew, away from the fame and the constant danger associated with his name.
There might be some extremely dark and non - canon fanfictions out there with such a disturbing plot. However, this goes against the general spirit of the Harry Potter series. In the official story, Harry is a hero who overcomes great challenges. In a fanfiction with this idea, perhaps it could be due to extreme despair from losing too many loved ones or feeling an overwhelming burden of his destiny that he snaps and takes his own life. But again, this is a very unorthodox and sad take on the character.
