The abuse makes Harry more cautious. He has learned from the Dursleys that the world can be cruel, so he's careful about who he trusts. For example, he might be hesitant to open up to new people he meets at Hogwarts.
It also toughens him up. He has to endure so much from the Dursleys that normal hardships at Hogwarts seem less daunting. He becomes more self - reliant as he couldn't rely on the Dursleys for anything. He has to figure out how to survive on his own, which gives him a sense of independence that other students might not have. This is shown when he faces challenges like dealing with bullies or difficult magical tasks. He is able to draw on his experiences with the Dursleys and use that strength to push through.
The abuse deeply affects his self - esteem. Harry may see himself as unworthy or a burden because of how the Dursleys have treated him. However, as the story progresses in the fanfic, he may start to realize his own worth through his friendships and magical abilities. His experiences with the Dursleys also fuel his determination to prove himself. He wants to show that he is not what the Dursleys made him out to be, and this drives him to excel in his studies and in magic, gradually building his confidence back up.
