How does the relationship between Harry and other characters change in 'Harry Potter son of Severus Snape' fanfiction?

Well, in some fanfictions, their relationship becomes almost like a father - son bond. Snape, having lost Lily, starts to see Harry as someone he can protect and guide. Harry, on the other hand, who has always lacked a proper father figure, starts to look up to Snape. This change is really heartwarming in stories where it's well - written. They start to trust each other more, share secrets, and work towards common goals, like fighting against the dark forces in the wizarding world.

The relationship would start off rocky. Snape would be resistant to Harry's kindness as he has always seen Harry as James Potter's son. But Harry's persistent efforts to understand and help Snape would gradually break down Snape's walls.

Snape's character changes in his relationship with others too. He becomes more involved with the Hogwarts community as he is now responsible for Harry. He might start to collaborate more with other teachers, like McGonagall, who he previously had a rather cold relationship with. His attitude towards the students also changes as he realizes that they are just kids trying to find their way, much like Harry. This is a big shift from his usual strict and often unforgiving self.

On the other hand, it could also lead to a strange kind of understanding. Maybe Harry realizes that Snape is under a great deal of pressure and that the punch was a momentary lapse. This could make Harry more empathetic towards Snape, although he might still be angry about being punched.

Harry in this fanfiction might be a lot more complex. His identity is no longer that of the Boy Who Lived in the traditional sense. He has to come to terms with the fact that his parents are two very different and controversial figures. He may become more of an outcast, even among his friends at Hogwarts. His sense of right and wrong could be more blurred, as he has the influence of Bellatrix's dark ways and Snape's own morally ambiguous actions. He might be constantly questioning his own nature and whether he is destined to follow a path of good or evil.

Snape's relationship with Harry could become more complex. He might start to see Harry as more than just Lily's son. As headmaster, he has to ensure Harry's safety and development. This could lead to some awkward but necessary conversations between them. Snape may also use Harry as an example to show the other students what it means to be brave and stand up against evil, which in turn makes Harry see Snape in a different light.

Another way is if there was a magical accident that forces Harry and Snape to rely on each other. For example, they are trapped in a magical realm where only by combining their unique magical abilities can they escape. During this time, they have to put aside their differences and work together. Harry learns about Snape's past traumas and Snape sees Harry's courage and determination up close, which changes their relationship for the better.

In some fanfictions, Snape's relationship with Harry is shown as more of a father - son relationship. For example, in 'A Different Kind of Bond', Snape takes Harry under his wing early on, and they develop a mutual respect. This is very different from the strained relationship in the books.

Well, it would be a lot more complex. Instead of the animosity that exists in the original story, there could be an underlying bond. Snape might be more protective of Harry from the start, but still struggle to show it in a positive way. Harry, on the other hand, might be more curious about Snape and try to understand him better.

Yes, in certain fanfictions. Fan writers like to play with the established relationships in the original 'Harry Potter' series. They might decide to make Harry Snape's son to add a new layer of drama and mystery. For example, it could change the way we view Snape's actions throughout the series, as his protectiveness towards Harry could then be seen as a fatherly instinct.
