Well, one reason could be to create a sense of vulnerability and drive for the protagonist. Another is to remove a potential source of comfort and support, forcing the character to grow on their own. Sometimes, it's just a way to add an emotional depth to the story.
No. Usually, more common tropes in science fiction are about robots, space exploration, or time travel. Tree Boy is a rather unique concept not often seen.
One reason could be the contrast between their characters. Draco is from a pure - blood family with a sense of entitlement, and Hermione is a Muggle - born witch. His possessiveness can add an element of drama.

In the Naruto universe, Naruto is a powerful character. Hinata, while strong in her own right, is not as physically dominant as Naruto in many fan interpretations. Naruto's overprotectiveness can show his growth as a character who now has someone he cares deeply about. It also creates drama and tension. For example, when they face enemies together, Naruto's overprotective nature can lead to him making rash decisions or Hinata trying to prove herself despite his protection, which makes for an interesting plot in fanfiction.

No. It's not a common trope as such relationships are often considered unethical and inappropriate. Most literature focuses on healthy, consensual relationships. However, in some works that explore complex social and moral issues, it might be touched upon briefly to highlight problems like power imbalances.
A trope in fiction is a recurring concept or motif. Like the 'love triangle' or the 'hero's journey'. They give a kind of predictability and structure to stories, but can also be used in creative ways to surprise and engage the audience.
Power dynamics is a common theme. The 'ice queen' often holds a certain power or mystery, and the story usually explores how the other character interacts with this power. For example, in some works, the 'ice queen' may be in a higher social position.
No. The Harry Potter series is mainly about friendship, magic, and the fight against evil. While fan fiction can explore diverse ideas, the 'Slut Harry' concept goes against the original character's essence and is not a common or positive trope in the overall fan fiction community.
