In such fanfiction, Harry may develop a sense of self - reliance early on. He has to fend for himself in the orphanage, which makes him more independent than in the original story. His kindness might also be enhanced as he tries to protect the other orphans from the harshness of the orphanage environment.
Harry could be more distrustful of adults. Since he doesn't have a positive family figure in the orphanage, when he meets the wizarding world adults like Dumbledore, he might be more skeptical and less likely to blindly follow them. Also, his sense of loyalty might be more focused on the orphans he grew up with rather than just his Gryffindor housemates at first. He might have a harder time adjusting to the hierarchical and sometimes elitist nature of the wizarding world, coming from an environment where everyone was more or less on equal footing in terms of being an orphan.
His character would become more reserved perhaps. Sesshomaru is not very expressive, and Harry might pick up on that. He would also be more self - sufficient and less likely to rely on others easily.
Harry would likely be more confident in his Quidditch abilities right from the start. Since Krum is a Quidditch hero, he would train Harry well. So, Harry might be more cocky on the Quidditch pitch compared to the original story.
In 'Harry Potter raised by bears' fanfiction, Harry may develop a more solitary nature at first. Growing up with bears, he might not be used to the social interactions of humans. But as the story progresses, when he encounters the wizarding world, he has to learn to adapt. This process of adaptation would shape his character. He would learn to balance his bear - influenced instincts with the social norms of the wizarding community, which would make him a more complex and interesting character.
His character may become more independent. Since snakes are solitary creatures in a way, Harry might rely less on others. He could also be more secretive. For example, he might keep his snake - related abilities and knowledge hidden from most people at Hogwarts.
Harry might develop a more solitary nature. Since spiders are often seen as solitary creatures, he could be less inclined to form large groups of friends at first. But he would also be very self - reliant.
His character may become more reserved. Growing up with the Unspeakables, who deal with secret and often dangerous magic, he would learn to keep his thoughts and actions guarded. He might not be as quick to trust others as he was in the original series.
In this fanfiction, Harry's character development could be quite complex. Growing up with Firenze, he would be exposed to centaur wisdom from a young age. This could make him more philosophical and introspective. He may question the norms of the wizarding world more often. His view on power and authority would also change. Instead of blindly following the rules set by the Ministry of Magic or Hogwarts, he would evaluate them based on his centaur - influenced values. Additionally, his relationships with other characters, like Hermione and Ron, would be different. He might not have the same initial connection with them as in the original story, but instead form new and unique bonds based on his centaur - raised experiences.
His character might develop a sense of independence earlier. Since Arachne is not a human guardian in the traditional sense, Harry has to rely on himself more. He may become more self - sufficient and resourceful.
His character might develop a more aloof side. Because he's raised by a snake, he may not be as open and friendly as in the original story. He could be more cautious and calculating in his actions.
