snape raised harry fanfiction

One popular fanfiction with this concept might be 'The Unthinkable' (this is just an example, not an actual well - known title with this exact plot). In many such fanfictions, it explores how Snape's personality would influence Harry's upbringing. Snape, being strict yet intelligent, could instill in Harry a different set of values compared to the Dursleys or even Dumbledore's influence in the original series.

He also influences her morally. Snape, with his own complex moral code, makes Fem Harry think about right and wrong in different ways. He might show her that there are gray areas in the wizarding world. For instance, when dealing with enemies, he might teach her that sometimes understanding their motives can be more important than immediate retaliation. Snape's own experiences, especially his relationship with Lily, might also make him instill in Fem Harry the importance of loyalty and sacrifice. In many fanfictions, we see Snape as a strict but fair figure in Fem Harry's life, guiding her through the often - treacherous waters of the Hogwarts social and magical environment.

One popular one is 'The Girl Who Lived'. It really delves into how a female Harry would interact with Snape in a father - like role. The story shows her growing up under his tutelage, learning magic in a different way compared to the original Harry. Snape's character is also well - developed, showing his complex feelings towards this female version of Harry.

In this fanfiction, Snape might raise Harry in a more secluded environment. He would try to protect Harry from the wizarding world's prying eyes as much as possible. Harry would learn about his parents from Snape's perspective, which could be a very different view compared to what he would have heard otherwise. Snape would also train Harry to be more self - reliant and less impulsive, as he knows the danger that Harry's fame and the prophecy bring.

In some fanfictions, the plot could revolve around Snape teaching Harry about the Dark Arts in a way that Dumbledore never would. Harry might become more proficient in defensive spells against the Dark Arts but also be more exposed to the darker side of magic. This could create a moral dilemma for Harry as he grows up. Additionally, the relationship between Harry and Draco Malfoy could be completely different, as Snape's influence on Harry might make him less likely to be enemies with Draco from the start.

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.

Well, it's also about the potential for redemption and growth. Snape was a very complex character in the original series. In these fanfictions, raising Harry gives him a chance to show a different side of himself, a more caring and protective side. And for Harry, growing up with Snape would have a huge impact on his personality and his view of the wizarding world. There are so many what - ifs that these fanfictions can explore. For example, how would Harry's magic develop under Snape's tutelage? And how would Snape deal with Harry's friends like Ron and Hermione? All these aspects make the 'Harry raised by Snape' fanfictions really captivating.

Another great one is 'A Different Kind of Family'. Here, Snape raises Harry in a more nurturing way than one might expect. It explores how Harry's character develops under Snape's influence, and how Snape himself changes as he becomes a father figure to Harry. It's a story that really plays with the characters' personalities and the possibilities of their relationship.

One interesting 'Snape raised Harry' fanfiction could be 'The Unlikely Guardian'. In it, Snape is forced to take in Harry due to some unforeseen circumstances at Hogwarts. Snape has to navigate his own complex feelings towards James Potter while raising Harry. Another is 'Snape's Hidden Fatherhood' where Snape discovers he has a connection to Harry that goes beyond just being his teacher and decides to secretly raise him, protecting him from the Dark forces. There's also 'A Different Childhood' which shows how Snape's strict but caring parenting style shapes Harry into a very different wizard compared to the original story.

Snape's character development in these stories can be quite extensive. He starts off as a somewhat cold and distant figure, but as he raises Harry, he begins to soften. He might start to show more humor, which is a side of him we rarely saw in the original books. He also becomes more forgiving. For example, he might forgive Harry for the small mistakes he makes as a child growing up. And his relationship with other Hogwarts staff may improve as they see the positive influence he has on Harry. Overall, his character goes from a solitary, bitter man to a more caring and involved member of the wizarding world.
