In the Harry Potter fanfiction where Harry Potter isolates himself and Snape is his dad, how does this change Harry's character development?

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.

Harry in this fanfiction might be a lot more complex. His identity is no longer that of the Boy Who Lived in the traditional sense. He has to come to terms with the fact that his parents are two very different and controversial figures. He may become more of an outcast, even among his friends at Hogwarts. His sense of right and wrong could be more blurred, as he has the influence of Bellatrix's dark ways and Snape's own morally ambiguous actions. He might be constantly questioning his own nature and whether he is destined to follow a path of good or evil.

Well, it could make Harry more confident. With Snape as a father - figure, he might learn magic in a different way. Snape is strict but highly skilled, so Harry could become more disciplined in his studies. Also, having a mother - figure in Snape's wife could give Harry the emotional support he lacked in the original story. He might grow up to be less impulsive and more calculating in his actions, as he would be influenced by Snape's way of thinking.

Well, Harry's character would grow in new directions. His self - discovery journey would be more about understanding his Snape - related heritage. He might be more secretive like Snape and have a different approach to friendships. His anger towards Snape in the original story would turn into a more complex mix of emotions, including confusion and a sense of betrayal at not knowing the truth earlier. This would also affect how he deals with the challenges against Voldemort, as his motivation would be tied to this new family revelation.

Harry's self - confidence could be both bolstered and challenged. On one hand, as he masters new skills under Snape's tutelage, he'll feel more capable. But Snape's critical nature might also make Harry doubt himself at times. This internal struggle could lead to Harry becoming more resilient in the face of self - doubt and more confident in his own abilities in the long run.

It can lead to a completely different dynamic. Harry might have a new perspective on Snape and the magical world.

Snape's character in Harry Potter fanfictions often changes in terms of his relationship with Harry. Sometimes he is written as being less bitter. He may be more understanding of Harry's situation, especially considering Harry has lost his parents. In certain fanfictions, Snape might even be the one to help Harry with his emotional turmoil over his parents' death. He can also become more collaborative, working with Harry instead of against him. This could be due to different interpretations of his true nature that were not fully explored in the original series. Fanfiction writers often take the hints of his good side from the books and expand on them, making him a more rounded and sympathetic character in relation to Harry.

In this type of fanfiction, character development often takes a darker turn. For example, Hermione might not be just the studious and rule - following witch. She could be tempted by the power of the demonic elements in the story and start to question her own moral compass. Harry, too, instead of being the pure - hearted hero, may struggle more with his inner demons (literally in this case) and his path to becoming a hero could be filled with more self - doubt and moral dilemmas as he tries to resist the demonic influence on his magic.

He might become more in tune with nature. Since the Phoenix is a symbol of rebirth and nature in the wizarding world, Harry could develop a stronger sense of environmental magic. For example, he could be able to communicate with other magical creatures more easily, not just the Phoenix.

One reason could be the shock of the revelation. Harry has always thought his parents were James and Lily. Discovering Snape is his father would be a huge shock, and he might isolate himself to process this new information.
