Living in the Malfoy household could also make Harry more self - reliant in different ways. He's in an environment that's not entirely friendly, so he has to fend for himself more, both magically and socially. This could strengthen his confidence and his ability to stand up for himself in a more sophisticated manner.
His relationship with Draco could force him to be more empathetic. Instead of just seeing Draco as an enemy, he has to live with him daily. This could lead to Harry developing a more nuanced understanding of people, and his character could become more forgiving and less impulsive in his judgments.
In 'fem Harry adopted by Malfoys' fanfiction, fem Harry's character development is complex. Initially, she is a vulnerable character, having lost her previous family or situation. When adopted by the Malfoys, she is exposed to a world of luxury and strict pure - blood values. At first, she might resist some of these values, but gradually, she starts to understand the reasons behind them, at least to some extent. Her relationship with the Malfoy family members, especially Draco, can be a catalyst for her growth. She may learn to be more diplomatic, as she has to navigate the often - tense relationships within the family. Also, her magical abilities might develop in new ways as she is exposed to different magical teachings and resources available in the Malfoy household. This all combines to transform her from a somewhat naive character into a more worldly and self - assured one.
Fem Harry's character might develop by becoming more cunning. Growing up with the Malfoys, she would be exposed to their manipulative ways. So, she could use this to her advantage in difficult situations. Also, she may become more aware of the politics in the wizarding world earlier than in the original story.

He could be more politically astute, understanding the power dynamics within the wizarding world better. And his relationship with magic would change. Instead of using it for pure altruistic reasons like before, he might use it to gain an edge in certain situations, at least in the beginning before he fully matures and reconciles his two different sides.

Snakes in the wizarding world are often associated with cunning, and Harry might use this to his advantage in a more morally ambiguous way at times, but also learn to balance it with the values he inherits from the wizarding community.
Harry might start off as a bit naive about the darker aspects of magic. But as he is trained by Grindelwald, he becomes more aware of the grey areas in the wizarding world.
