It's also possible that Dumbledore has been misinformed or is under the influence of a dark spell himself. In the wizarding world, there are many forces at play. He could have received false information that made him think this was the best course of action for Harry. Another aspect could be that he is trying to teach Harry a lesson in a very extreme way. Maybe Harry has been too reckless, and Dumbledore wants to make him understand the seriousness of the situation.
One possible motive could be protection. Dumbledore might tie Harry to the bed to keep him from running off into danger. He has always been protective of Harry and perhaps in this fanfiction's unique scenario, he believes this extreme measure is necessary to safeguard Harry from some immediate and unseen threat.
Perhaps there are safety concerns for the students that Dumbledore is not addressing adequately. Harry, having a strong sense of responsibility for his fellow students, may feel that the only way to ensure their safety is to remove Dumbledore from his position. He might believe that Dumbledore's actions or inactions are putting the students at risk, and thus he takes matters into his own hands.
Well, it could be that Harry has a different view on how to handle the war against Voldemort. Dumbledore is often very strategic and sometimes keeps things from Harry for what he believes is the greater good. But Harry might think that full transparency is necessary. Also, Harry may have formed new alliances or friendships that give him different perspectives, and these new ideas conflict with Dumbledore's. He might feel that Dumbledore's approach is too old - fashioned or risky in a new context.
Perhaps Dumbledore foresaw some sort of prophecy that was related to Harry and his parents. In order to fulfill the prophecy in the right way or to avoid a greater catastrophe, he kept Harry from his parents. He was always thinking about the greater good of the wizarding world and might have believed this was a necessary step.
One possible reason could be Dumbledore's over - reliance on his own grand plan. He might have been so focused on the big picture of defeating Voldemort that he overlooked Harry's individual emotional and psychological needs. For example, Harry constantly had to face dangerous situations alone, and Dumbledore didn't always step in to protect him directly. This could have led to Harry feeling abandoned and having to grow up too fast without proper guidance in some aspects.
One possible reason could be a misunderstanding. Maybe Harry overheard something that made him think Dumbledore was planning something against him that he didn't understand. For example, if he heard Dumbledore discussing a dangerous mission for him without his full knowledge.
It could also be that Harry has his own ideas about how to deal with the situation at hand. He might think that Dumbledore's approach is too cautious or too risky. For instance, if there's a threat from Voldemort, Harry might believe that a more direct and aggressive strategy is needed rather than following Dumbledore's more calculated and long - term plans.
Harry could also be angry. Despite understanding Dumbledore's generally good intentions, being tied to a bed against his will is a violation of his freedom. He might struggle against the restraints and demand to be released immediately, especially if he feels that Dumbledore is overstepping his boundaries.
One reason could be a change in Dumbledore's personality. If he's depicted as being cold or distant in fanfiction, Harry, who knew him as a mentor figure, might not like it.
One possible reason could be that Dumbledore is worried about how the wizarding world would react. The wizarding society might be quite traditional and conservative, and homosexuality could be seen as something different or not accepted. So Dumbledore, being a figure who has to think about the overall stability and reputation of Hogwarts and the wizarding community, might be afraid of the potential backlash that could come if Harry, a very important figure, were to be openly gay.
