Snape has a very cold and aloof personality. This makes it hard for Harry to approach him or form any kind of positive relationship. In fanfiction, this is often emphasized. Harry is a warm - hearted person in general, and Snape's coldness is like a barrier.
Snape is known for his sarcasm and biting remarks. In fanfiction, this can be even more pronounced when directed at Harry. His personality is so prickly that Harry has a tough time getting along with him. Snape's bitterness from his past experiences, especially regarding Harry's father, colors his interactions with Harry, making it difficult for Harry to have a normal conversation or relationship with him. For example, Snape might make snide comments about Harry's performance in potions class, which can really get under Harry's skin. And because Snape doesn't easily show his softer side, if he has one, Harry is left to deal with this difficult personality all on his own.
Harry could react with anger. He is a strong - willed character. So, he might confront Snape about his hatred. He would demand to know why Snape is treating him this way when they should have a father - son relationship. This could lead to a series of intense arguments between them.
One reason could be Snape's teaching style. He is often portrayed as a strict and unforgiving teacher in fanfiction as well as in the books. Harry, being a student, has to face this difficult side of Snape. Moreover, Snape's own internal struggles and his past traumas can spill over into his interactions with Harry in fanfiction, making it hard for Harry to understand him and get along with him.
Snape would likely become more nurturing. Instead of just being the strict and often cold Potions master, he would have to show a softer side to take care of Harry. He might be more patient as he guides Harry through his magical education and daily life.
Well, at first Harry might be very suspicious. But as Snape shows consistent care, Harry could start to see him in a new light. Maybe he realizes that Snape has more layers than he thought. He might begin to understand that Snape's past actions were more complex than just being mean to him.
Harry might struggle and try to break free. He is a brave character and doesn't like being restrained, so he would likely use his physical strength and magic skills, if possible, to get out of Snape's hold.
He might be initially suspicious. Snape is a cautious man, and he may think that Harry has some ulterior motive, like setting him up. But after realizing Harry's sincerity, he could be grudgingly grateful.
His personality would be a blend of Snape's cynicism and his own inherent goodness. He might be more introverted, spending more time in study and self - reflection. Harry would also have a deeper understanding of the darker side of magic and the wizarding world, which could make him seem a bit more brooding. He'd still be brave, but his bravery would be more of a quiet determination rather than the brash kind we see in the original books.
Harry is likely to be angry at first. He has always had a tense relationship with Snape, and this act of spanking would seem unjust and humiliating to him.
Another way Snape could comfort Harry is by standing up for him in certain situations. Maybe when other teachers or students are being unfair to Harry, Snape steps in and defends him. This act of protection can be a great source of comfort for Harry, as it shows that someone is on his side even if they have had a rocky relationship in the past.
In some fanfictions, Snape might use his advanced knowledge of potions to brew a special healing elixir for Harry. He could also use his magic skills, like a complex spell specifically designed to mend Harry's wounds, whether they are physical or emotional.
