In a 'Snape adopts little Harry fanfiction', Snape's personality would experience a significant transformation. Initially, he is a rather aloof and brooding character. But with Harry in his life, he would gradually become more approachable. He would start to show more of his vulnerable side as he builds a relationship with Harry. His sense of purpose would shift from just being involved in the wizarding politics and his vendetta against James Potter's memory to actually nurturing and raising Harry. He would learn to express his emotions more openly, especially love and concern, which were previously buried deep within him. This new role as a father figure would make him a more well - rounded and less one - dimensional character.
Snape would likely become more nurturing. Instead of just being the strict and often cold Potions master, he would have to show a softer side to take care of Harry. He might be more patient as he guides Harry through his magical education and daily life.

Snape would become more nurturing. He's used to being cold and distant, but with a baby to care for, he'd have to soften. For example, he'd learn to comfort Hermione when she cries.
Snape becomes more empathetic. He starts to see Harry not just as James Potter's son but as an individual with his own struggles. For instance, he might notice how Harry is affected by the loss of his parents more deeply than he thought.
Snape's character development in this fanfiction would be quite complex. At first, he might be very hesitant and unsure of how to be a father. But as he spends time with Harry, he'd gradually let down his guard. He'd find himself enjoying the simple joys of seeing Harry learn and grow. His relationship with the other Hogwarts staff might also change. He could become more collaborative as he realizes he needs support in raising Harry. His loyalty would still be there, but it would expand to include his newfound family with Harry. This would completely transform his character from the bitter and vengeful man he was in the original story into a more well - rounded and loving person.
Snape's deaged personality could also be more impulsive. Without the restraint of his adult self, he might act on his emotions more quickly. For example, if he felt wronged, he might lash out immediately instead of plotting a long - term revenge like his older self would do. Also, he could be more curious about the world around him, eager to explore magic in a new way that his older self had forgotten due to years of being jaded.
The relationship would be drastically different. Harry, who has always seen Snape as a rather unlikable figure, would start to see him in a new light. He might come to respect Snape as a father figure. Draco, who has some connection to Snape through his family, would now have a more personal and perhaps more positive relationship with Snape. Snape himself would have to soften his usual harsh demeanor towards Harry. And between Harry and Draco, they would be forced to get along better as they are now under the same roof. They might start to understand each other's insecurities and backgrounds more.
Snape might become more confident. As a king, he would have to take charge and make decisions without hesitation. His usual brooding and self - doubting nature might be replaced by a more assertive and commanding personality. He would also likely be more protective of his 'kingdom' or those under his rule, which could show a more noble side of his character.
Snape's character changes in his relationship with others too. He becomes more involved with the Hogwarts community as he is now responsible for Harry. He might start to collaborate more with other teachers, like McGonagall, who he previously had a rather cold relationship with. His attitude towards the students also changes as he realizes that they are just kids trying to find their way, much like Harry. This is a big shift from his usual strict and often unforgiving self.
At first, it would be really rocky. Harry has a history of distrusting Snape, and Hermione might be a bit cautious too. But as time passes, Snape's care for them in his own strict way would start to show. He'd probably be tough on them about their studies, but they'd see it's because he wants them to succeed.
