In this kind of fanfiction, perhaps Harry, out of fear or some form of coercion, starts to obey Uncle Vernon's every order. Maybe Vernon uses threats about expelling Harry from the house or withholding food to make him submit. This could lead to a very different dynamic in the Dursley household, with Harry being more submissive and not showing his usual defiance.
Some writers might create this type of fanfiction to explore a different side of Harry's character. By making him submit, they can show his vulnerability in a new way. It could also be to create a more complex relationship between Harry and his Muggle relatives, adding a new layer of drama.
One possibility could be that Harry, out of a sense of duty or some form of magical coercion, decides to follow his uncle's every order in order to protect his aunt and Dudley from a new magical threat. He might suppress his own desires and instincts to keep them safe.
It could be that after a series of events that make Harry question his own judgment, he submits to Dumbledore's authority. For instance, if there are false prophecies or misinformation floating around that lead Harry astray. Dumbledore, with his greater experience and knowledge, helps Harry see the truth. So Harry decides to submit to Dumbledore in order to get back on the right track and protect Hogwarts and the wizarding world.
In some fanfiction, Uncle Vernon develops by becoming more accepting. For instance, he may start to see Harry not just as a freak but as a person with unique abilities that can be useful. He might begin to tolerate the wizarding world a bit more, especially if he realizes that Harry can use his magic to protect the family from certain threats.
In this fanfiction scenario, it could be that the writer decided to change the power dynamics completely. Vernon, who is usually just a Muggle bully in the original, might be given some unexpected power or weapon in the fanfic. And Harry, perhaps caught off - guard or having lost his magic temporarily, could be killed by Vernon. It shows how fanfiction can turn the whole story upside down.
Some fanfictions might explore a backstory for Uncle Vernon. Perhaps he had an encounter with a wizard when he was younger that made him so bitter towards magic. In these stories, Harry could discover this secret and it could change their relationship. Also, there could be a plot where Uncle Vernon is magically turned into a wizard for a short time. This would be a comical yet thought - provoking plotline as he would have to navigate a world he once despised.
On the other hand, it could be positive in a way. Maybe through submitting, Harry learns more about his uncle's insecurities and past, which could lead to a new understanding and a form of reconciliation between them.
Well, perhaps Vernon might beat Harry out of his extreme dislike for magic. He could be enraged by some accidental magic Harry does at home and lose his temper completely.
Perhaps a plotline where Sirius Black discovers a hidden prophecy related to Harry Potter that requires Harry to submit to Sirius in a series of magical trials. These trials could be designed to unlock Harry's true potential. Or it could be a plotline where the wizarding world is in chaos, and Sirius, with his knowledge and experience, convinces Harry that submitting to his leadership is the only way to restore order. This could involve Harry following Sirius' orders in battles, in diplomatic relations with other magical creatures, and in reforming the Ministry of Magic.
Hermione would probably be devastated. She was Harry's closest friend and ally. She might be filled with rage towards Vernon and vow to seek justice. Ron would also be heartbroken and might want to take matters into his own hands against Vernon.
