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.
Another possible reason is that Harry could be feeling a sense of betrayal. He may think that if Snape was his father, why didn't he tell him sooner? This feeling of betrayal could lead him to isolate himself as he tries to sort out his emotions and figure out how to move forward.
Perhaps in this fanfiction, Snape shows a side of himself that is completely different from what Harry has known. He might be more open and honest with Harry, sharing secrets that make Harry believe he can be trusted. Like Snape might disclose some long - held information about Harry's parents that only he knew, which makes Harry think Snape has been on his side all along.
One reason could be that the creators of such fanfiction are die - hard Snape fans. They might feel that Snape is the most interesting and underappreciated character in the 'Harry Potter' series. So, they create fanfiction where Harry Potter, who they may see as getting too much attention in the original, is not as great, to put more focus on Snape.
One possible reason could be copyright infringement. If the fanfiction uses too much of the original 'Harry Potter' material without proper authorization, J.K. Rowling (or those in charge of the franchise) might take legal action. Another reason could be if the fanfiction misrepresents the characters in a way that goes against the intended spirit of the original work.
Well, if such a fanfiction exists, one possible reason could be a huge misunderstanding. Maybe Harry discovers something about Snape that he misinterprets and then hounds Snape with accusations and guilt - tripping until Snape can't take it anymore. Another reason could be if dark magic is involved in some way, like Harry is under the influence of a dark spell that makes him act out of character and target Snape relentlessly.
One reason could be that he realizes Harry has a lot of potential and wants to nurture it. He sees that Harry is in a difficult position, being the target of Voldemort, and decides to help him despite their past differences.
It could be that in the context of the fanfiction, Snape believes Harry has been disrespectful towards him or other teachers. For example, if Harry were to talk back or show disobedience in class, Snape would likely punish him as a way to assert his authority.
One possible reason could be Snape's lingering resentment towards James Potter, Harry's father. Snape might see Harry as a reminder of the bullying he endured from James during their school days. So, he takes out his anger on Harry.
One reason could be the complex relationship between them. Snape's mixed feelings of resentment and a strange sense of protectiveness towards Harry in the original series can be explored more deeply in fanfiction through fantasies. Another reason might be the popularity of both characters. Fans want to see different interactions between them that were not fully shown in the books.
Maybe Harry Potter is tired of the unrealistic portrayals of Snape in fanfiction. Often fanfictions can exaggerate characters' traits, and Harry, who knew Snape in real life, might find these interpretations too far - fetched.
It could be due to the trauma he has experienced. Losing friends and facing Voldemort multiple times has surely left deep scars. Isolating himself might be his way of dealing with the post - trauma stress. He needs time alone to heal and come to terms with everything that has happened.
