One possible motive could be a misunderstanding. Maybe Snape is framed for something really bad, like a dark magic plot against Hogwarts. Harry, in his haste to protect the school and his friends, believes Snape is guilty and takes drastic action. Another reason could be if Snape accidentally endangers someone Harry loves dearly, like Ginny or Ron, and Harry's emotions get the better of him in the heat of the moment.
In the original 'Harry Potter' series, the relationship between Harry and Snape was one of mutual dislike but also a certain level of respect in the end. However, in this fanfiction, it's a complete break. The fanfiction might change the power dynamics at Hogwarts as well. Snape was a key figure in the school's hierarchy, and his death at Harry's hands would send shockwaves through the staff and students, unlike anything in the original story where his death was a heroic sacrifice.
The 'Snape kills Harry' fanfiction would shatter the relationships that were built in the original series. For example, the friendship between Harry, Ron, and Hermione would be left in tatters. Hermione and Ron would be devastated and likely seek revenge. Also, Dumbledore's plan, whatever it was that involved Harry, would be completely ruined. The whole balance of good and evil in the wizarding world would be thrown into chaos.
One possible motive could be that Snape is still deeply influenced by his loyalty to Voldemort in this fanfiction. Maybe Voldemort has some hold over him that forces him to do the unthinkable. Another reason could be a misunderstanding. Snape might believe that Harry has turned to the dark side or is about to, and he decides to take preemptive action to stop what he thinks will be a great evil.
Yes, it is a somewhat common theme in some fanfictions. One reason could be the complex relationship between Harry and Snape in the original series. Snape was often cruel to Harry, so in some alternate universes, writers explore the extreme scenario of Harry killing Snape. It also allows for exploring darker aspects of Harry's character and the consequences of such an act within the wizarding world.
In some fanfictions, Snape might use his advanced knowledge of potions to create a special concoction to heal Harry. He could draw on his skills in Herbology as well to find rare ingredients for the potion.
Well, it completely flips the dynamic. In the original series, Snape was a complex character with a lot of hidden motives that were ultimately revealed to be on the side of good. If Harry kills Snape in the fanfic, it makes Harry seem more impulsive and less of the heroic figure we know. It also undermines the redemption arc that Snape had in the original story.
There could be. Fanfiction writers love to take the original story and twist it in different ways. In a 'Harry Potter Kills Goblins' fanfiction, it would be a very dark and different take on the world J.K. Rowling created. It might explore different themes like power, prejudice, and the consequences of extreme actions. You can search for it on popular fanfiction platforms, but keep in mind that the quality and content can vary greatly.
No. It's more of a metaphorical statement. Harry Potter, as a character in the books, doesn't actually go around killing fanfiction. It's about how the official 'Harry Potter' franchise might impact the existence or popularity of fan - created stories.
Yes, there are likely some fanfictions with such a concept. The 'Harry Potter' fandom is vast and creative, and some fans like to explore extreme or alternate storylines. However, not all of these fanfictions may be high - quality or follow the original spirit of the series closely.
