This situation could have a major impact. Harry and Dudley might gain a new perspective on magic and grow in unexpected ways. They could also face challenges adjusting to Severus' personality and rules.
It could lead to a big change. Maybe Harry and Dudley would learn more about Severus and develop a different relationship with him.
Well, it would likely be a huge shift. Both Harry and Dudley might find a sense of family and belonging they never had before. And it could even shape their future paths and decisions in the wizarding world.
They might become closer friends. Cedric could be grateful to Harry for trying to save him during the Triwizard Tournament, and Harry would be glad that Cedric survived. They could start sharing their experiences and knowledge about magic more often, and perhaps even train together to become better wizards.
First of all, Harry could offer the orphans protection. If there were any threats from the wizarding world or even from the Muggle world like bullies or bad caretakers, he could step in. He would also introduce them to a world of magic, which would be a huge change. They might start to see things in a different way, with more wonder. He could also use his influence to get better resources for the orphanage, like new clothes, better food, and educational materials. This would not only improve their living conditions but also give them a better start in life. And on an emotional level, his friendship and support would mean a lot to orphans who might not have had much of that before.
It changes the setting completely. Instead of Hogwarts or other known places, he's in a tree. This would mean different interactions, like with forest creatures instead of classmates.
Well, if Harry and Dudley became friends, it would drastically change the whole dynamic of the early Harry Potter story. For one, Harry might not have felt so alone at the Dursleys' place. Dudley could have protected Harry from Vernon's wrath. Also, they could have shared secrets about the wizarding world with Dudley being a Muggle. This new friendship might even have led to Dudley developing an understanding and acceptance of the magical world much earlier, and perhaps he could have been an ally to Harry in the fight against Voldemort, instead of a bully.
His personality also becomes more open. He has to communicate with Harry in a more honest and open way. He can't keep all his thoughts and feelings bottled up like he used to. He has to share his wisdom and experiences with Harry, which in turn makes him more approachable and less of the brooding, closed - off person he was before in the official story.
Harry might become more open and less guarded. Since he now has a brother in Dudley, he might feel more at home in the Muggle world. Dudley, on the other hand, could become less of a bully. The knowledge that he has a wizard for a brother could make him more humble and empathetic.
Well, it changes their relationship in that they become closer. Dudley's overprotective nature means he starts to see Harry as someone precious to him. This could lead to them sharing secrets. Harry might tell Dudley more about the wizarding world, and Dudley could confide in Harry about his insecurities. They might even team up against common enemies, like those who look down on both of them for different reasons. Overall, it makes their relationship more complex and interesting.
Snape's character changes in his relationship with others too. He becomes more involved with the Hogwarts community as he is now responsible for Harry. He might start to collaborate more with other teachers, like McGonagall, who he previously had a rather cold relationship with. His attitude towards the students also changes as he realizes that they are just kids trying to find their way, much like Harry. This is a big shift from his usual strict and often unforgiving self.
It changes the emotional landscape. In the original, deaths created a lot of grief and motivation for the characters. But in this fanfiction, that's gone. So the characters' actions might be driven by different things like exploring new magical abilities or building better relationships.
Well, in some fanfictions, their relationship becomes almost like a father - son bond. Snape, having lost Lily, starts to see Harry as someone he can protect and guide. Harry, on the other hand, who has always lacked a proper father figure, starts to look up to Snape. This change is really heartwarming in stories where it's well - written. They start to trust each other more, share secrets, and work towards common goals, like fighting against the dark forces in the wizarding world.
