In the fanfiction where Harry is raised by his grandfather, how would his magical abilities develop differently?

His magical abilities might develop with a greater emphasis on intellectual magic. Since Rowena Ravenclaw is associated with knowledge and wisdom, Harry could be more inclined towards spells that require deep understanding and study. For example, he might master complex transfiguration spells earlier because Ravenclaw would encourage him to study the theory behind them thoroughly.

His magical abilities might be influenced by the Norse magic system. He could have a more primal and elemental approach to magic, perhaps being able to control natural forces like thunder (associated with Thor) or ice (linked to some Norse entities).

He might be more confident. Since his grandfather has more life experience, he could instill in Harry a sense of self - assurance from an early age.

He'd probably be more refined in his manners, as French culture often emphasizes politeness and etiquette. His accent would be different, of course. And he might be more confident in expressing his emotions, as the French are generally more open about feelings. Also, his view of magic might be more influenced by French magical aesthetics, which could be more about elegance and style.

He would likely be more confident. Growing up with his grandparents, who presumably love and support him, he wouldn't have the self - doubt that came from living with the Dursleys. He would be more self - assured in his magical abilities from the start.

Since Vegeta has a very different upbringing compared to the Dursleys or the wizarding world in general, Harry's magic would be shaped by Saiyan values. He might be more inclined to use magic in ways that enhance his physical abilities, like using spells to increase his speed or strength during combat. This would make his magic development more about augmenting his body's natural capabilities rather than just learning traditional wizarding spells.

If Harry Potter was raised by Odin, his magic would take on a whole new dimension. Firstly, his connection to the magical world would be through a very different lens. Odin's knowledge and power are vast, and he would likely train Harry in a much more rigorous and perhaps less structured way than Hogwarts. Harry's magic could be more in tune with nature and the cosmos, as Odin has strong ties to such elements. His ability to communicate with magical creatures might also be different. He could have a more dominant and assertive approach, as Odin's leadership style is quite forceful. His magical skills might not be as refined in the traditional Hogwarts sense, but they would be more adaptable and powerful in a different context.

His magic might develop with a more physical aspect. Since Kushina was a ninja, she might encourage Harry to use his magic in more combat - related ways, like combining spells with physical movements, rather than just relying on the traditional wand - waving.

Since McGonagall has a strong sense of justice, Harry would probably have an even more acute sense of right and wrong. He would grow up with her values of fairness and loyalty deeply ingrained. This could lead to him being more proactive in standing up for others who are being wronged, not just because of his own experiences, but because of the values he was taught by McGonagall.

He might be more refined. The Delacour family seems to have a certain elegance about them. Harry could be more sophisticated in his speech and mannerisms. He may also be more confident in social situations as he would have grown up in a family used to high - society magical events.
