One major challenge is Harry's initial distrust. Harry has known Snape as a mean - spirited teacher, so it's hard for him to accept Snape as a guardian right away. Also, Snape has to protect Harry from the threats of the wizarding world, such as Voldemort's followers. He has to constantly be on guard and anticipate any potential attacks. Another challenge is dealing with Harry's friends. They might be suspicious of Snape too, which could create problems when Snape is trying to keep Harry safe and make decisions for him.
Snape faces several tough challenges. Firstly, his own reputation among the Hogwarts faculty and students. Many people at Hogwarts have a negative view of him, and this could affect how they perceive his guardianship of Harry. Secondly, he has to handle Harry's rebellious nature. Harry is used to doing things his own way, and Snape as a guardian has to find a balance between allowing Harry some freedom and keeping him safe. Thirdly, Snape has to deal with his own emotional baggage regarding Harry's father. This could sometimes cloud his judgment when dealing with Harry, and he has to constantly overcome these internal struggles to be a good guardian.
One challenge is dealing with their different personalities. Harry is brave and headstrong, while Draco is proud and used to privilege. Snape has to find a way to discipline them without causing resentment. Another challenge is the expectations of the wizarding community. People have certain views of Harry as the 'Chosen One' and Draco as a Malfoy. Snape has to protect them from those outside pressures.
One challenge could be his own reputation. Snape has a rather dark and brooding image at Hogwarts. So, other students or even some teachers might be suspicious of his motives for being Hermione's guardian. Also, Hermione is very independent - minded, which might clash with Snape's over - protective tendencies at times.
One challenge could be Harry's distrust. Harry has had a long - standing enmity with Snape, so he might be reluctant to accept Snape's help. Another is the complex nature of Harry's problems. Harry has faced so many traumas and has a big destiny to fulfill. Snape might find it difficult to address all these issues without overstepping boundaries or causing more harm.
One big challenge is their pre - existing relationship. They've had a lot of conflicts in school. Snape has been rather harsh on Harry, so they need to overcome that animosity. Also, Snape has to deal with Harry's trauma from the Dursleys. He needs to help Harry heal and grow in a positive way, which is not easy for someone as emotionally reserved as Snape.
Snape might face the challenge of his own biases. He has had a long - standing dislike for Harry's father, and this could initially cloud his ability to help Harry. Also, the wizarding community may not fully understand autism, so Snape could face resistance or lack of support when trying to implement special accommodations for Harry.
In fanfiction where Snape becomes Harry's guardian, it can change the story in many ways. For one, Snape's strict and often misunderstood nature might bring a different kind of discipline to Harry's life compared to the Dursleys. He could also teach Harry more about the Dark Arts from a defensive perspective. This would make Harry a more well - rounded wizard in terms of knowledge. And perhaps Snape would finally get the chance to show his more protective side that was always hidden beneath his surly exterior.
One big challenge could be Snape's natural inclination towards the Dark Arts. Harry would have to constantly keep an eye on Snape and try to steer him away from that path. Also, Snape's personality is often prickly and guarded. Harry would need to break through those barriers to really connect with him. Another challenge might be the expectations of the wizarding community. People might not understand why Harry is raising Snape and could be suspicious or judgmental.
Their relationship development is complex. Snape, being Harry's guardian, has to deal with his own past issues regarding Harry's parents. Initially, Harry is very suspicious of Snape's motives. However, as time goes on, Snape starts to share some of his knowledge with Harry, especially about potions and the darker aspects of magic that he thinks Harry needs to know for self - defense. This sharing of knowledge gradually breaks down the barriers between them. Also, Snape might start to involve Harry in some of his personal projects related to protecting Hogwarts, which makes Harry understand Snape's dedication to the school and to him in a new light.
Snape and Lucius might be too proud to take instructions from Harry. Since they are used to being in positions of authority, they may not be very receptive to Harry's teaching at first.
Well, Snape might use his knowledge of both boys' strengths and weaknesses. For Harry, he'd understand his Gryffindor courage but also his impulsive nature. With Draco, he'd be aware of his Slytherin pride and family influence. Snape could set similar rules for them in terms of magic study and behavior, while also respecting their individual personalities. He might encourage Harry to be more cautious and Draco to be more empathetic.
