At the start, their relationship would be in chaos. Harry punching Snape is a big deal in the Hogwarts environment. Snape would likely be furious and might even try to get Harry expelled. But this could also open the door for a deeper exploration of their characters. Maybe Harry punches Snape because he senses some underlying threat from Snape that he can't quite put his finger on. As they interact more due to this incident, they might start to understand the reasons behind each other's actions and attitudes, which could lead to either a reconciliation or a more defined enmity.
It could severely strain their relationship at first. Snape might become even more bitter towards Harry, seeing this as just another sign of his lack of respect. Harry, on the other hand, might feel a bit of guilt but also a sense of righteousness if he thought Snape deserved it. However, over time, this incident could also be a turning point. It might force them to communicate more directly, which could lead to a more complex and nuanced relationship, whether it becomes more positive or remains hostile but with a new understanding.
On the other hand, it could also lead to a strange kind of understanding. Maybe Harry realizes that Snape is under a great deal of pressure and that the punch was a momentary lapse. This could make Harry more empathetic towards Snape, although he might still be angry about being punched.
It would definitely strain their relationship further. Draco would likely be extremely angry and vengeful. He might plot all kinds of schemes to get back at Harry, from simple pranks to more dangerous magical attacks. Harry, on the other hand, might initially feel a sense of satisfaction for standing up to Draco, but later he could start to regret his actions when he realizes that violence doesn't solve anything and has only made an already bad situation worse.
The teaching could initially make their relationship worse. Snape's harsh approach might make Harry resent him even more. However, as Harry progresses in Occlumency, he might start to understand Snape's tough love, and this could be a turning point in their relationship. They could start to communicate more openly and with less animosity.
In fanfiction, it could lead to a complete transformation of their relationship. Snape dressing Harry might be a catalyst for them to see each other as more than just a teacher - student or adversary. They might start to share secrets and feelings during the dressing process. For instance, Snape could tell Harry about his own past experiences related to clothing or appearance, and Harry could open up about his insecurities. This new - found openness can make their relationship much more positive and collaborative.
This perception would likely lead to more conflict. Snape already has a pre - existing dislike for Harry due to his relation to James. Thinking Harry is spoiled would just add fuel to the fire. He might be more dismissive of Harry's achievements, believing they are a result of his 'spoiled' nature rather than his own hard work.
It could strain their relationship. Percy might be hurt not just physically but also emotionally. He might start to question whether Annabeth really cares about him or if she has some deeper issues. This could lead to him pulling away from her for a while.
At first, it would likely strain their relationship even more. Snape is used to having the upper hand and Harry's defiance would anger him. But in the long run, it could lead to a grudging respect from Snape. He might start to see Harry as more than just James Potter's son and realize that Harry has his own strength of character.
At first, it strains their relationship. Snape is still bitter towards Harry because of his father, and Harry doesn't trust Snape. But as the lessons progress, they start to understand each other a bit more. Harry realizes that Snape has some valuable knowledge to offer, and Snape sees that Harry is trying hard. This slowly builds a grudging respect between them.
It could initially create more tension. Harry might be suspicious of Snape's motives, especially considering their generally strained relationship. He could start to wonder if Snape is up to something malicious.
The relationship could become very complex. Hermione might feel burdened by the secrets. She has to keep them from her friends, which could cause strain. On the other hand, Snape might start to rely on Hermione more, seeing her as someone who can understand his motives. This new dynamic could create a lot of internal conflict for both of them, as they navigate between their old roles and the new relationship based on shared secrets.
