In this fanfic, Dobby's character evolves a great deal. He goes from being a servant - like figure to a parental figure. He starts to think more about Harry's future and development. He might become more patient as well, since raising a child like Harry requires a lot of patience. He also may develop a more strategic mind, planning how to keep Harry safe and educated in the wizarding world.
Dobby becomes more confident. Instead of being a meek house - elf, he has to take on the role of a caregiver. So he has to be more assertive in making decisions for Harry. For example, when it comes to protecting Harry from potential threats, he won't hesitate like he used to.
His loyalty to Harry could intensify. Knowing that Harry is his owner in this fanfiction, Dobby would likely double down on his efforts to protect Harry. This could lead to him making sacrifices he wouldn't have considered before. He might even put himself in more dangerous situations to ensure Harry's safety.
At first, Harry might be a bit annoyed by Dobby's antics. But as the story progresses in the fanfiction, he could notice Dobby's good intentions. Dobby's eagerness to serve and protect Harry could touch Harry's heart. Maybe Dobby saves Harry from a particularly dangerous situation that makes Harry see Dobby in a whole new light. Harry then starts to admire Dobby's tenacity. He may also be intrigued by Dobby's strange habits, like his obsession with odd - looking socks. This new - found admiration could lead to Harry becoming a big fan of Dobby.
Dobby's character could be developed further by showing his growth in confidence. After being freed, he could become more assertive in his actions and decisions, not just relying on his loyalty to Harry but also on his own sense of right and wrong.
One interesting plotline could be how Dobby's unique house -elf magic and knowledge influence Harry's upbringing. For example, Dobby might teach Harry some secret elf - made spells. Another could be how Harry's relationship with the wizarding world changes since he is being raised outside of the traditional Hogwarts -centric environment. He might have a different perspective on things like pure - blood supremacy.
In some fanfiction, Dobby helps Harry Potter by using his house - elf magic in unique ways. For example, he might create secret passages for Harry to escape danger. Dobby's loyalty drives him to do whatever it takes to keep Harry safe, like magically disguising Harry so his enemies can't find him.
There's also 'Harry Potter and Dobby: The Unlikely Alliance'. This one focuses on how Harry and Dobby team up against some dark forces that are trying to infiltrate Hogwarts. It's full of action and really showcases Dobby's bravery.
Well, Dobby often helps Harry Potter in fan fiction through his loyalty. He'll do things like spy on the bad guys for Harry. Since he can move around Hogwarts without raising too many eyebrows (being a house - elf), he can gather important information. He might overhear conversations among the Death Eaters or other villains and then report back to Harry.
Often through acts of kindness. Harry might give Dobby a gift, like a new pair of socks, which is a big deal for Dobby. This simple act can start to build a bond.
Another way their bond develops is through shared secrets. Maybe Dobby knows something about Harry's past that no one else does, or vice versa. They keep each other's secrets and in doing so, become closer. This bond in fanfiction can be really heart - warming and add a new dimension to the Harry Potter universe.
Perhaps Dobby uses his magic in a creative and unexpected way to get Harry out of a tight spot. This display of resourcefulness could make Harry admire him. Also, if Dobby were to share some of his personal stories about the hardships of being a house - elf, it could make Harry respect him more and become a fan. For example, Dobby's tales of how he was treated poorly by his former masters but still remained kind - hearted could be a turning point.
