In some fanfictions, Snape might rescue Harry Potter by using his knowledge of the Dark Arts to counter a dark spell aimed at Harry. For example, if Voldemort or his Death Eaters were about to cast a fatal curse on Harry, Snape could step in and deflect it with a powerful counter - curse. He is a very skilled wizard, after all.
In certain fanfictions, Snape's love for Harry's mother, Lily, drives him to rescue Harry. He might have been secretly watching over Harry all along. So when Harry gets into trouble, like being captured by a group of rogue wizards, Snape could use his influence and skills to infiltrate the group and free Harry. His complex relationship with Harry in the original series gives a lot of room for creative rescues in fanfiction.
Well, it could be that Snape rescues Harry Potter in fanfiction through his deep understanding of Hogwarts' secrets. Maybe there's a hidden passage or a magical artifact that only Snape knows about, and he uses it to save Harry from a dangerous situation. Like, if Harry was trapped in a part of the castle that was collapsing, Snape could lead him to safety through a secret tunnel.
In some fanfictions, Snape might use his advanced knowledge of potions to create a special concoction to heal Harry. He could draw on his skills in Herbology as well to find rare ingredients for the potion.
Harry could also outwit Snape by using his quick thinking and ability to improvise. Suppose there is a situation where Snape is trying to catch Harry doing something wrong. Harry might use the chaos around him, like a commotion caused by other students, to his advantage. He could blend in with the situation, making it seem like he's innocent while actually achieving his own goals, like getting access to a restricted area for a noble reason that Snape doesn't initially understand.
At first, Harry might be extremely suspicious. Snape has always been cold and mean to him in the past. He would wonder what Snape's true motives are. Harry is used to being on his own and not relying on Snape for help, so this sudden rescue would be very unexpected.
In some fanfictions, yes. Writers often explore the complex relationship between Harry and Snape. They might create scenarios where Harry discovers Snape's true loyalties and motives earlier than in the original books, leading to a new level of trust.
In this kind of fanfiction, Harry often becomes more proficient in potions and other areas that Snape is good at. His relationship with Snape also makes him more empathetic towards Snape's past and the Slytherin house in general. He may not be as quick to judge people based on their house. Also, he might develop a more complex view of the wizarding world's politics, as Snape is deeply involved in some of the darker aspects of it.
As the story progresses, they might start to work together more closely. Snape could be teaching Harry some advanced magic that no one else knows, and through this process, they build a bond. Harry begins to understand Snape's past better and realizes that they have more in common than he thought, like their love for Lily Potter in different ways.
Another way Snape could comfort Harry is by standing up for him in certain situations. Maybe when other teachers or students are being unfair to Harry, Snape steps in and defends him. This act of protection can be a great source of comfort for Harry, as it shows that someone is on his side even if they have had a rocky relationship in the past.
Snape's character often develops from a cold and aloof figure to a more caring and father - like one. He starts to see Harry not just as James Potter's son but as an individual he is responsible for. His protective instincts grow, and he becomes more patient. For example, he might initially snap at Harry for small mistakes but over time, he learns to guide him gently.
In the original 'Harry Potter' series, the relationship between Harry and Snape was one of mutual dislike but also a certain level of respect in the end. However, in this fanfiction, it's a complete break. The fanfiction might change the power dynamics at Hogwarts as well. Snape was a key figure in the school's hierarchy, and his death at Harry's hands would send shockwaves through the staff and students, unlike anything in the original story where his death was a heroic sacrifice.
Well, regular Harry Potter fanfiction can cover a wide range of relationships and storylines. But 'Harry Potter and Severus Snape yaoi fanfiction' specifically focuses on a romantic and often homoerotic relationship between Harry and Snape. It's a niche within the fanfiction world that caters to those interested in this particular pairing.
