In this fanfiction, Harry's character development could shift towards being more self - aware of his own motives. The Slytherin side emerging might make him question his previous actions and reactions. For example, he might realize that he has been too hasty in some battles, and the Slytherin - like caution could be a new addition to his character. Also, his relationships with other characters, especially Slytherins, would likely change. He may find common ground with them and form new friendships or rivalries based on his new traits.
Harry's character development in this fanfiction would likely involve a transformation in his decision - making process. As he shows his Slytherin side, he may start to consider long - term consequences more carefully. He might also become more adaptable, like Slytherins are often portrayed. Instead of always charging head - first into danger, he could start to look for alternative ways to solve problems, which would be a significant departure from his traditional Gryffindor - led approach. This change in his character could lead to a whole new set of adventures and challenges within the wizarding world.
In this fanfic, Harry's character development could be triggered by interactions with Slytherin characters. Their way of thinking and acting rubs off on him. He gradually becomes more ambitious and less impulsive. For example, when facing challenges, he no longer charges in head - first but instead thinks about the long - term benefits and consequences, just like a Slytherin would. His appearance might also change subtly to reflect this internal shift, perhaps his eyes taking on a more calculating glint.
It makes Harry more complex. He has to deal with the darker side of his new identity. He might become more reserved as he tries to figure out what it means to be the heir of Slytherin.
Well, he might show Slytherin traits like cunning. For example, he could use clever manipulation to outwit his enemies, much like Slytherins are known for. He might also be more ambitious in this fanfiction, setting goals for himself that are self - serving rather than just for the good of all.
In the fanfiction, a key event could be Harry's interaction with the Slytherin students. He might start to adopt their ways of thinking and acting. For example, he could be involved in a plot with some Slytherins to undermine another house in a competition. This shows his ability to work with those who have Slytherin - like ambitions. Also, if he is seen hoarding knowledge or resources for himself, like a Slytherin would, during a difficult time at Hogwarts, such as a time when there are shortages of certain magical items. This would be a strong indication of his Slytherin side.
Harry may become more cunning as he is in Slytherin. He might be more guarded in his actions and words.
In the fanfiction, Harry may show his Slytherin side by being more politically astute within Hogwarts. He could form alliances with some Slytherin students based on mutual benefits, similar to how Slytherins often do.

In the 'harry shows his slytherin side fanfic', it could be that Harry is influenced by Slytherin - related magic or a Slytherin - minded character. So he begins to value power and status more, and his actions become more devious. For example, he might manipulate situations to his advantage in a way that is more typical of Slytherin students. He may also form alliances with characters who have Slytherin - like qualities and distance himself from his Gryffindor friends.
His character becomes more calculating. In Slytherin, he has to adapt to the house's values of cunning. So, he might think twice before acting, unlike his more impulsive Gryffindor self. For example, in a duel, he would strategize more instead of relying solely on courage.
Well, it could make Harry more confident. With Snape as a father - figure, he might learn magic in a different way. Snape is strict but highly skilled, so Harry could become more disciplined in his studies. Also, having a mother - figure in Snape's wife could give Harry the emotional support he lacked in the original story. He might grow up to be less impulsive and more calculating in his actions, as he would be influenced by Snape's way of thinking.
It makes him more cynical. Harry, after experiencing abuse, is less trusting when sorted into Slytherin. He uses the house's cunning to protect himself from further harm.
