How does the 'Dumbledore failed Harry fanfiction' re - imagine the relationship between Dumbledore and Harry?

The relationship would become very strained. Harry's rejection would likely make Dumbledore re - evaluate his actions and how he has interacted with Harry. Dumbledore might be shocked at first, since he probably thought Harry was on the same page as him most of the time.

As the story progresses, Dumbledore might try to make amends. He could start revealing some of his secrets to Harry in an attempt to regain his trust. Harry, on the other hand, would be hesitant at first but gradually start to listen and understand Dumbledore's reasons.

The power dynamic also shifts. Usually, Dumbledore is seen as a mentor and a figure of authority. But when Harry denounces him, Harry is challenging that authority. In some fanfic, this could lead to a power struggle within the wizarding community as others take sides. It can also cause Harry to seek new allies who share his view of Dumbledore, changing the social fabric of the story.

The relationship turns into one of opposition in some fanfics. Harry, now independent, may be working towards goals that Dumbledore doesn't approve of. Dumbledore may see Harry as a loose cannon and try to control him from a distance, while Harry resents any such attempts. Their interactions become tense and full of unspoken accusations.

It could create a rift. Harry might feel betrayed or not understood by Dumbledore. If Harry is starting to explore his own identity and Dumbledore is against it, Harry would likely be hurt and this could lead to a strained relationship. He might start to question Dumbledore's wisdom and guidance that he has always relied on.

Among the students, Harry's action would make him a very polarizing figure. Some students would see him as a hero for taking a stand against the all - powerful Dumbledore, while others would view him as a troublemaker. This would completely change the social dynamics within the school. The younger students might look up to him with a mix of awe and fear, while the older students might be more critical of his actions.

One possible reason could be Dumbledore's over - reliance on his own grand plan. He might have been so focused on the big picture of defeating Voldemort that he overlooked Harry's individual emotional and psychological needs. For example, Harry constantly had to face dangerous situations alone, and Dumbledore didn't always step in to protect him directly. This could have led to Harry feeling abandoned and having to grow up too fast without proper guidance in some aspects.

Harry might initially be confused. He has always looked up to Dumbledore, so when he realizes Dumbledore is trying to control him, he could start to question everything he thought he knew about their relationship. He may become more rebellious as a result, trying to break free from Dumbledore's influence and make his own decisions.

He might give Harry detention. Harry could be made to clean the trophies in the trophy room or help Hagrid with some difficult tasks in the Forbidden Forest under strict supervision.

It might make Harry more confident. With Dumbledore's training, Harry gains more knowledge and skills, which gives him the confidence to face challenges.
