His character often becomes more confident. With the new power, he no longer has to rely solely on his friends or the pre - existing magic he knew. He starts to take more risks in battles and in decision - making. For example, he might be the first to charge into a dangerous situation knowing his new power can protect him.
As he gains power, Harry might develop a sense of responsibility not just for Hogwarts and his friends, but for the entire wizarding world. He realizes that with great power comes great obligation. So, he starts to travel the wizarding world, using his power to solve long - standing problems in different magical communities, and in the process, he matures into a more selfless and far - seeing leader.
His character could develop in a way that he becomes more of a loner. With the pursuit of power, he might feel that his friends are holding him back. He could start to see the wizarding world in terms of those who have power and those who don't. This new perspective would change his relationships. He might form alliances with those he previously thought were untrustworthy, just because they can offer him a step closer to the power he desires.
He would become more confident. Having an additional powerful tool like a staff would give him an edge in his battles and make him believe more in his own abilities.
I think his character would likely face moral conflicts and struggle to balance his past with his new role. This could lead to internal turmoil and growth as he tries to find his way out of the criminal life.
He could become more confident. With the new resources from his inheritance, he feels more secure in his place in the wizarding world. For instance, if he inherits a lot of gold, he doesn't have to worry about financial problems at Hogwarts.
His character may become more confident. Knowing his heritage gives him a sense of identity, so he might stand taller and be more assertive in the wizarding world.
Another way could be via some sort of magical artifact. For example, he discovers an ancient amulet that has the power to enhance his natural abilities. When he touches it, it starts to merge with his essence, gradually making him stronger and endowing him with new powers like the ability to control different elements related to water, not just manipulate it.
His magical abilities might develop in a different way. Without the formal training at Hogwarts from an early age, he could discover his own unique ways of using magic. Maybe he would combine his street - learned skills with magic, like using his knowledge of pickpocketing to quickly snatch a wand from an enemy. His magic would be more rough - around - the - edges but also more adaptable.
Well, in some fanfictions, he might find it in the Forbidden Forest during one of his adventures. Maybe it was injured and he felt a connection to it, so he decided to take it as a pet.
In this fanfiction, Harry's development could be centered around his understanding of family. Growing up with a scorpion, he has a very different concept of what a family is. This could lead to him having a complex relationship with the Weasleys or other surrogate families in the wizarding world. He might be hesitant to accept their love and care at first, but gradually come to realize the value of a real family. Also, his magical development could be more instinctive, like how a scorpion reacts instinctively to threats, Harry might use magic in a more impulsive yet effective way when in danger.
Harry would likely develop a very different personality. He may be more solemn and less prone to the typical teenage angst that the original Harry had. Since he is raised by Death, he might be more in tune with the darker aspects of life and magic from a young age.
