Talking to the Horcrux might strengthen his resolve. The Horcrux may try to discourage him or tell him he can't succeed, but this only makes Harry more determined to prove it wrong and continue on his quest to destroy all Horcruxes. For example, if the Horcrux taunts him about his friends being in danger, it could fuel his determination to protect them and defeat Voldemort. Also, through this conversation, Harry might gain a deeper understanding of the nature of evil. He sees how the Horcrux is a concentrated form of Voldemort's malevolence, and this knowledge could help him better recognize and combat evil in the future.
His conversation with the Horcrux could also lead to self - discovery. Harry might see parts of himself that he didn't like or was afraid of. The Horcrux could play on his insecurities, but in the process, Harry could learn to face and overcome them. This would make him a more mature and self - aware character, better equipped to handle the challenges ahead in his fight against Voldemort.
It could make him more cautious. After talking to the Horcrux, he realizes how devious Voldemort's magic can be and becomes more careful in his future encounters with dark magic.
It can make him more independent. Without his parents' protection, Harry has to learn to fend for himself, which can lead to him becoming more self - reliant. He'll have to figure out how to solve problems on his own.
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.
The neglect can lead to a sense of distrust in Harry towards family - like relationships. He might be more hesitant to form close bonds with others at first. However, as he grows, he learns to distinguish between those who truly care for him and those who don't. This experience also gives him a deep well of empathy for others who have been through similar situations, which shapes his character into a more understanding and kind person in the long run. He has to face many challenges alone, which toughens his mental state and makes him a more resilient wizard.
The new uniform can symbolize growth. If it's more elaborate or has new features, it can show that Harry is becoming more important or recognized at Hogwarts. For example, if it has special markings that signify his achievements, it reflects his development as a wizard.
The abuse can also make him more empathetic. Harry has known pain, and in this situation, he could use that pain to better understand others who are suffering. This could lead to him becoming a champion for the underdog in the wizarding world, using his experiences to fight against all forms of injustice.
It might make him more empathetic. As he reads different stories, he gets to experience different characters' feelings and situations, which can shape his own understanding of others.
Well, it could be that Dumbledore, in some fanfic versions, figures it out first and then reveals it to Harry. Dumbledore is often portrayed as having a deep understanding of magic. He might have noticed some strange magical patterns or behaviors related to Harry that led him to suspect and then confirm that Harry was a Horcrux. And then he would tell Harry about it, which is how Harry comes to know.
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.
He might be more distrustful. The feeling of being abandoned could make it hard for him to trust others easily. For example, when he first meets Dumbledore or his new friends at Hogwarts, he may be hesitant to open up completely because he's been let down by the most important people in his life - his parents.
It makes him more relatable as a teenager. Pranks are a common part of youth, and showing Harry as a prankster in fanfiction gives him a more human side.
