Without more context, it's impossible to say who exactly these founders are. They could be founders of a small online Harry Potter fan community, or perhaps founders of a local Harry Potter reading group that also dabbles in fanfiction.
Helga Hufflepuff would probably be very touched to see how her values of hard work, loyalty, and kindness are often expanded upon in fanfiction. She might enjoy seeing the different ways her house is depicted, with students facing all kinds of challenges while still holding true to Hufflepuff ideals. However, she might also be a bit dismayed if her character is misrepresented as being overly meek or submissive when she was in fact a strong and capable founder.
Salazar Slytherin would likely have a complex reaction. Since he was known for his pride in pure - blood heritage. If the fanfic presented different views on blood purity, he might be angered or intrigued. He would probably analyze how the modern perspective has changed from his time.
It could mean that the people who started something (not clear what exactly from this statement) were fans of Harry Potter and also read the fan - created stories related to it. Maybe they were inspired by the creativity in fanfiction for their own work or just read it for entertainment.
It could be Harry Potter himself. Since he has so many special qualities and a deep connection to Hogwarts, he might be revealed as an heir. Maybe he has some latent powers related to one of the founders that haven't been discovered yet.
Well, if Godric Gryffindor read Harry Potter fanfiction, he might be amused by the brave deeds of Harry and his friends, seeing it as a continuation of the spirit he founded Hogwarts on. Salazar Slytherin, on the other hand, might be a bit critical. He could think some of the fanfiction misrepresents the cunning and ambition he valued. Helga Hufflepuff would probably be quite charmed. She'd enjoy seeing the elements of loyalty and hard work in the fan - made stories. Rowena Ravenclaw might be interested in the creative interpretations and the new magical concepts presented in the fanfiction.
Yes, in some fanfictions, Harry Potter is made out to be the heir to the founders. It's a creative twist on the original story that allows for new and exciting plot developments.
Rowena Ravenclaw would likely be intrigued. Fanfiction often delves deep into the magical world she helped create. She might be fascinated by the new spells, creatures, and magical concepts that fanfiction writers come up with. She would probably be eager to analyze and understand these new ideas, seeing them as a further exploration of the magical realm she adored.
Well, Helga Hufflepuff would probably be the most open - minded. She would likely appreciate the inclusivity that many fanfics try to promote. She might find the new stories about her House and its values heartwarming and see it as a positive expansion of the wizarding world she helped found.
In the context of the Harry Potter universe, the founders are Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hufflepuff. In this fanfiction, it's likely these are the founders who are training Harry.
