He might be initially shocked. Snape has this complex relationship with Harry. He may try to hide his concern behind his usual cold exterior, but his eyes might give away his surprise.
There's also a possibility that Snape feels a bit of pity. Despite their differences, seeing Harry bruised could stir some long - forgotten sense of protectiveness in Snape. He may not show it outright, but he might find himself being a bit less harsh in his words towards Harry than he usually is.
Another reason might be related to his home situation. Although it's not as prominent in the fanfiction's context perhaps, in the original story, the Dursleys were not kind to Harry. If this aspect is incorporated into the fanfiction, it could be that he got the bruises from their mistreatment before coming to Hogwarts.
Well, Snape's reaction would likely be a complex one. He might try to hide his true feelings. Since he has always been a bit of an enigma. The scars on Harry are a visible reminder of his connection to Voldemort. Snape may feel a sense of responsibility towards Harry, whether he wants to admit it or not. His reaction could range from a momentary lapse in his usual cold facade to a more long - term change in his attitude towards Harry, as he contemplates the significance of those scars.
He might be initially shocked. Snape has a complex relationship with Harry, and seeing those scars which are a mark of Harry's past and his connection to Voldemort could stir up a lot of mixed emotions in Snape. Maybe he would feel a pang of guilt, as he has some role in Harry's life due to his connection with Lily.
It could be a turning point in their relationship. Maybe Snape starts to see Harry as more than just James Potter's son. The scars represent Harry's battles and traumas, and seeing them might make Snape more empathetic.
He might be shocked. Snape could be taken aback by the depth of Harry's emotions and experiences in his memories.
He could feel a sense of guilt. Snape has always had a role in Harry's life, sometimes as an adversary. Knowing that Harry has these scars which are a result of Voldemort's actions, and Snape being involved in some way with Voldemort in the past, he might feel responsible on some level.
He's probably furious. Snape has high standards for student behavior, and smoking is definitely not acceptable in Hogwarts. His face might turn red with anger, and his eyes would narrow as he glares at Harry.
In a typical fanfiction scene, Snape is standing in the Great Hall during the Sorting Ceremony. The first - years are being called up one by one. When Harry's name is announced, Snape's eyes immediately dart towards him. His face hardens, and his grip on his wand tightens involuntarily. The air around him seems to grow colder as he stares at Harry with an intensity that makes some of the nearby students shift uncomfortably.
If Snape were to see Harry's memories in a fanfic, it would be a very complex situation. Harry's memories are filled with his experiences at Hogwarts, his friendships, and his battles against Voldemort. Snape seeing these memories could potentially expose the truth about his relationship with Harry's mother, Lily. It could also make Snape realize that Harry is more than just James Potter's son. He might see Harry's struggles with being the 'Chosen One' and empathize with him on a deeper level. This newfound understanding could lead to a completely different path for their relationship, with Snape becoming more of a mentor or even a friend to Harry.
One significant plot point could be a moment of understanding between Snape and Harry. The sight of the scars could lead to Snape finally revealing some long - held secrets to Harry, perhaps about his mother Lily. This could change the dynamic of their relationship from one of distrust to a more collaborative one.
