His perception might become more positive. If he discovers great deeds his family has done in the past, he could feel a new sense of pride.
Perhaps Harry starts to see his family as more relatable. Before, he might have felt like an outsider, but after learning about their experiences, their struggles, and their triumphs, he realizes that they were just people, with all the same emotions and challenges as he has. This could make him feel a deeper connection to his family, both the ones he knew and the ones he discovers through the fanfiction.
It could also become more complex. Learning about family secrets or darker aspects of his family history might make him view his family as a more multi - faceted entity. For instance, if he finds out that some family members had made mistakes in the past but also had good intentions, he has to grapple with this new understanding.
He might learn about hidden magical talents in his family. For example, perhaps there were ancestors who could communicate with magical creatures in a unique way that was lost over time.
Well, it makes him seem more complex. In the original stories, Harry is often seen as a family - oriented person. But in this fanfiction, it shows that he can be a character with flaws and different emotions. It gives him a more human side, not just the hero who always loves and protects his family.
At first, Harry probably sees Snape as a cruel and unfair teacher. But as he learns the truth, he starts to view Snape as a hero. He realizes that Snape was on his side all along, despite the way he treated him.
It completely flips the usual narrative. In the original story, Harry has a sense of longing for his family, especially his parents. But in this fanfiction, the hatred changes the emotional core. It makes Harry a more complex and perhaps darker character. The relationships that were once sources of strength, like his connection to his parents through their sacrifices, now become sources of bitterness.
His learning of etiquette might initially cause some strain. His Gryffindor friends are used to his more laid - back ways. But as he becomes more refined, he starts to interact better with students from other houses. For instance, he could have more civil conversations with some of the Slytherins who value proper behavior. This could slowly change the dynamic in the common rooms and in classes, as people start to see Harry in a new light.
In some fanfictions, Harry's friends might take on more of a protective role. They see how broken Harry is after Sirius' death and they become more vigilant about his safety. They might also encourage him to open up more about his feelings. Harry, on the other hand, could initially resist their efforts but eventually come to appreciate their friendship more as he realizes they are just trying to help him through this tough time.
Some members of the family might get angry. They may feel that Harry is being ungrateful for all they've done for him. They could start to spread negative things about Harry within the family circle or even outside to their friends.
This revelation would likely shatter Harry's previous idealized view of his father. He might start to question all the stories he had been told. For example, if he was told his father was a hero, now he has to grapple with the fact that he was a bully. It could make Harry feel conflicted, angry, or even a bit lost. He may wonder if he has any of those bullying tendencies in him too.
Discovering the family portraits could make Harry feel less alone. He has always felt like an outsider, but seeing his family members in the portraits, hearing their voices and stories, could give him a feeling of being part of something bigger. He might start to think of himself as not just Harry Potter, the boy who lived, but also as a member of a large and important wizarding family with a rich history.
Harry grows by becoming more self - reliant. Learning Black family magic is likely not an easy task and he has to figure things out on his own. He becomes more confident in his abilities as he masters new spells and magic techniques.
