Some fanfictions might explore a backstory for Uncle Vernon. Perhaps he had an encounter with a wizard when he was younger that made him so bitter towards magic. In these stories, Harry could discover this secret and it could change their relationship. Also, there could be a plot where Uncle Vernon is magically turned into a wizard for a short time. This would be a comical yet thought - provoking plotline as he would have to navigate a world he once despised.
In some fanfiction, Uncle Vernon develops by becoming more accepting. For instance, he may start to see Harry not just as a freak but as a person with unique abilities that can be useful. He might begin to tolerate the wizarding world a bit more, especially if he realizes that Harry can use his magic to protect the family from certain threats.
There might be a fanfiction where Vernon has to enter the wizarding world himself for some reason. It could be really funny to see how he copes with all the magic and strange things around him. He'd probably be very out of place and his typical gruff attitude would make for some interesting interactions with the wizards.
In this kind of fanfiction, perhaps Harry, out of fear or some form of coercion, starts to obey Uncle Vernon's every order. Maybe Vernon uses threats about expelling Harry from the house or withholding food to make him submit. This could lead to a very different dynamic in the Dursley household, with Harry being more submissive and not showing his usual defiance.
One possible plotline could be that Harry uses his magic in self - defense and this leads to a whole new set of challenges as he tries to hide it from the wizarding world while dealing with Vernon's continued abuse. Another could be that the Dursleys finally get caught by the wizarding authorities for their mistreatment of Harry, especially Vernon's torture.
Some writers might create this type of fanfiction to explore a different side of Harry's character. By making him submit, they can show his vulnerability in a new way. It could also be to create a more complex relationship between Harry and his Muggle relatives, adding a new layer of drama.
In this kind of fanfiction, perhaps Vernon is driven by jealousy. He sees how much attention Harry gets, even if it's often negative attention within the household. This jealousy festers until he decides to take drastic action. It could also be related to some long - held family secrets or grudges that are finally brought to the surface, leading Vernon to try and kill Harry.
One interesting fanfiction could be about Vernon Dursley having to face a magical threat in the Muggle world on his own. He might have to rely on some of the little knowledge he has about the wizarding world through Harry. Another could be a story where Vernon and Harry are forced to work together during a crisis that affects both the Muggle and wizarding communities, changing their relationship completely. There could also be a fanfiction exploring Vernon's past and how it might have influenced his treatment of Harry, and then how things could have been different if certain events in his past were changed.
One interesting fanfiction could be about Vernon Dursley's perspective during the time when Harry first received his Hogwarts letter. It might explore his extreme reactions and the inner turmoil he felt at the thought of magic being real. Another could focus on a situation where Vernon has to interact with the wizarding world in an unexpected way, like when he accidentally stumbles into Diagon Alley.
Often, there are plotlines where Harry uses his newfound knowledge from Hogwarts to outwit Vernon. He could use potions to make Vernon see things differently, or use charms to make his life at the Dursleys' more bearable. Also, some fanfictions might explore how Harry's relationship with the wizarding community as a whole helps him in his struggle against Vernon's hurtful behavior. For example, a kind wizard from the Ministry might step in to protect Harry after hearing about Vernon's actions.
One interesting story could be where Vernon Dursley has a sudden change of heart towards Harry Potter due to some magical influence in the fanfiction. Maybe he starts to see Harry's value and tries to protect him from other dark forces in the wizarding world. This would be a great twist on their usually antagonistic relationship.
