Over time, Harry could start to understand Snape's intentions, especially if he sees positive results from the discipline. He might grow to respect Snape's tough - love approach, although it would be a difficult and gradual process given their history.
Harry is likely to be angry at first. He has always had a tense relationship with Snape, and this act of spanking would seem unjust and humiliating to him.
Harry could react with anger. He is a strong - willed character. So, he might confront Snape about his hatred. He would demand to know why Snape is treating him this way when they should have a father - son relationship. This could lead to a series of intense arguments between them.
In this fanfiction, the relationship between Snape and Harry might become more intertwined. Harry could initially be resentful of Snape for the spanking, but over time, he might come to understand Snape's motives. And Snape, on the other hand, might start to see Harry not just as James Potter's son but as an individual in need of guidance. This could lead to a transformation in their relationship, from one of hostility to a more nuanced connection where they both learn from each other.
Snape could initially be skeptical. Given their long - standing enmity, he might not believe that Harry's apology is sincere at first. He might respond with a cold glare or a sarcastic comment, like 'Potter, your apologies are as empty as your head.'
He may also get angry. Harry has a strong sense of justice and self - worth. Snape's rejection could be seen as unfair in his eyes, especially if he has started to develop some sort of positive feelings towards Snape. So, he might lash out at Snape or even try to prove him wrong by becoming more independent and successful on his own.
At first, Harry would be confused. He has always seen Snape as a complex figure, and the idea of being rejected as a son would be a shock. He might start to question his own self - worth, thinking that if Snape doesn't want him, there must be something wrong with him. As time passes, he could grow bitter towards Snape, but also use this as motivation to become stronger. He might focus on his friends and the positive relationships in his life, trying to move on from Snape's rejection while still carrying the pain deep inside.
Harry might struggle and try to break free. He is a brave character and doesn't like being restrained, so he would likely use his physical strength and magic skills, if possible, to get out of Snape's hold.
He might be initially suspicious. Snape is a cautious man, and he may think that Harry has some ulterior motive, like setting him up. But after realizing Harry's sincerity, he could be grudgingly grateful.
Well, Harry is a brave character. So, he would probably be full of anger and disbelief. He might start yelling at Snape, demanding an explanation for such an inappropriate act. He would also be thinking about how to escape and report this to his friends or the proper authorities in the wizarding world, like Dumbledore.
However, as the story progresses, Harry may start to understand the reasons behind Snape's actions. He could become more resigned and accept the punishment as a part of his growth. He might use the experience to become more cautious in his actions and more respectful of the rules.
He would probably be in shock. Snape has spent so much time around Harry in one way or another throughout his years at Hogwarts. His immediate reaction could be disbelief. He might stand there frozen for a moment, unable to process what he's seeing. Then, the full weight of the situation would hit him, and he could break down in a rare display of raw emotion.
