In the fanfiction, Draco might become more independent in his thinking. With Snape's focus on him rather than Harry, he has a different kind of spotlight. This could make him less influenced by the pure - blood supremacy ideas that his family adheres to. He may start to interact more with other houses, especially if Snape encourages it, and develop a more inclusive view of the wizarding world, which is a huge departure from his rather narrow - minded character in the original series.
Draco could become more empathetic. Snape's own experiences of being an outcast in some ways can be shared with Draco. This may make Draco more understanding of those who are different, like Muggle - borns. He might start to question the prejudices he was brought up with.
Draco becomes more empathetic. Adopting Harry makes him look beyond his old pure - blood supremacist views. He starts to understand the struggles Harry has faced.
One possible reason could be Snape's long - standing dislike for James Potter, Harry's father. Since Draco is from a pure - blood family like Snape himself, and Snape has a certain affinity for the pure - blood traditions and values, he might choose Draco. Also, Draco was in Slytherin, Snape's own house at Hogwarts, and he might have felt a stronger sense of loyalty to his house and its students.
Well, in the original, Harry is very much guided by the values of the wizarding world. However, as a demon lord in fanfiction, he often rebels against those values. His character development may involve him forging his own path, which might not always be a positive one in the eyes of the traditional wizarding community. He could be more self - serving at times, focusing on his own power and survival rather than the greater good of all wizards. Also, his relationships with other characters like Hermione and Ron can change drastically. Instead of relying on them, he may view them as either allies he can use or obstacles in his way.
Well, in the original story, they are rivals. But when they go back in time, they might start off as allies out of necessity. Since they are in a different time period, they have to rely on each other. This could lead to a slow - burning friendship that gradually turns into something more. For example, Draco might see Hermione's intelligence in a new light as they face challenges in the past together.
His character arc can be very different. In the books, his development was somewhat limited, but in fanfiction, he could have a complete transformation. He might start to oppose the dark side more actively and become a hero - like figure, which is a big contrast to his original role.
He could also develop a better understanding of the 'light side'. Taking care of Harry, who represents so much of what the 'light side' stands for, even in his deaged state, makes Draco question his own alignment with the 'dark side'. This internal struggle can lead to significant character growth.
Draco's character often develops by becoming more open - minded. In the Muggle world, he's forced to confront ideas and ways of life that are completely different from what he knew in the wizarding world. This can make him more empathetic towards others. For example, if he meets a Muggle who is struggling financially but still has a positive attitude, it might make him re - evaluate his own values.
In these fanfictions, Draco's character development can be quite diverse. He could initially be resistant to his new family, but as he gets to know them better, he begins to soften. His experiences with his new family might expose him to different magical cultures or ideas that he never considered before. This could lead to him becoming more open - minded and less arrogant. He may also develop new skills or talents under the guidance of his new family members.
Draco's character development in this fanfiction is likely to be significant. Living with the Weasleys, he's exposed to a whole new set of values. He starts to see that blood purity isn't everything, as the Weasleys value people for who they are. This makes him question his own upbringing. He may become more empathetic towards those he previously looked down upon. For example, he could start to understand the struggles of Muggle - borns like Hermione. His arrogance may gradually fade as he experiences the warmth and acceptance of the Weasley family, which is very different from the cold environment of Malfoy Manor.
