Yes, there might be some. Some fanfic authors may write about Snape's harsh treatment of Harry in a more nuanced way that focuses on the underlying reasons and character development rather than pure torture in a very dark sense. For example, they might explore Snape's complex emotions towards Harry as he was James Potter's son, but still show some restraint in how he deals with Harry at Hogwarts.
One popular one might be 'The Dark Prank'. In this fic, Harry, under the influence of a dark spell, starts to torment Snape in ways that are out of character for him. It shows how a simple spell can change the dynamics between the two characters. However, such fanfics often deviate from the original positive themes of the 'Harry Potter' series.
Well, they might be exploring the darker side of the 'Harry Potter' universe. In the original series, there are a lot of complex emotions between Harry and Snape. Writers of these fanfics could be interested in what would happen if those emotions turned really negative. Also, it can be a way to show how characters can be corrupted or make bad decisions even in a magical world like Hogwarts. For example, if Harry had been more influenced by the dark side, how would that change his interactions with Snape? That's what these fanfics might be exploring.
There's a fanfic called 'Snape's Harsh Lessons'. It's good because it portrays Snape's actions towards Harry in a complex light. It shows how Snape's past and his loyalty to Dumbledore play into his relationship with Harry. Also, 'Harry's Endurance' is a well - written one where Harry's response to Snape's torture is the main focus, showing his strength and growth in the face of adversity.
Well, first of all, he would lose his moral high ground. Harry has always been seen as a hero, and torturing the Dursleys would change that perception. In the wizarding community, he might be ostracized. People would fear him and his power. And it could also lead to a downward spiral of his own character. He might start to justify other unethical actions, which would be a very sad transformation for his character in the fanfic.
Yes, there are some fanfics with such wild and out - of - canon concepts in the Harry Potter fanfiction community. However, these often deviate greatly from the original storyline and themes of the official series.
In some fanfics, Snape might punish Harry because of his perceived insolence in class. Harry has a rebellious streak, and Snape, being strict, wouldn't tolerate any behavior that he deems disrespectful to his authority as a teacher.
Perhaps it's related to Harry's association with his father, James Potter. Snape had a long - standing grudge against James, and seeing Harry might bring back those bitter memories. So, whenever Harry does something that reminds Snape of James, like being overly confident or a bit of a troublemaker, he yells at him.
In some fanfics, Snape might hurt Harry out of his long - held grudges. Snape was in love with Harry's mother, Lily, and Harry being a reminder of James, who bullied Snape in school, could trigger his negative emotions. Also, Snape's loyalty to Voldemort in the earlier days in some fan - created scenarios might lead him to target Harry, who was seen as a threat to Voldemort's plans.
One example could be 'The Dark Mark's Torment' where Voldemort subjects Snape to various forms of psychological torture due to suspected betrayal. The author vividly describes Snape's inner turmoil and his attempts to hide his true loyalties from Voldemort.
