The concept in fanfiction can be really interesting. Harry's act of squinting at Tom Riddle can be a metaphor for his attempts to understand the roots of evil. He might be looking at Riddle's past, his family history, or his academic achievements in a different light. For instance, in some fanfictions, Harry might discover that Riddle's thirst for knowledge was not as pure as it seemed. His squinting could lead to revelations about Riddle's early experiments with dark magic, which other characters might not have been aware of. This not only deepens the relationship between Harry and Riddle in the fanfiction but also gives readers a new perspective on how Voldemort came to be.
In fanfiction, it often plays out as Harry being hyper - aware of Tom Riddle. For example, he might notice small details about Riddle that others miss. This could be things like the way Riddle interacts with certain magical objects or how he treats other students. Harry's squinting is like his way of trying to penetrate the mystery that is Tom Riddle.
Well, it can play out in various ways. Sometimes, Harry's squinting at Riddle is a sign of his mistrust. He has seen the destruction Voldemort (who was once Tom Riddle) has caused. So, in fanfictions, he might be constantly looking for signs of the same evil in Riddle during their time at Hogwarts. He might analyze Riddle's actions in the Chamber of Secrets, for instance, and wonder if there were earlier signs of his dark nature. This adds a layer of tension and mystery to the story.
