The prophecy that ties Harry and Tom together is a big factor. It creates a situation where their fates are intertwined. Their skills in magic, such as being able to speak Parseltongue, show a strange similarity. Tom's early days at Hogwarts and how he gradually turned bad can be compared to Harry's journey to stay good. Harry is constantly faced with the temptation of power, just like Tom was, and this exploration of two different reactions to power is similar to what fanfiction often does, which is to take a basic idea and explore different outcomes.
There are multiple aspects to consider. Their magical lineage, for instance. Both are descendants of great wizards in a way. Harry is related to the Peverells through the Invisibility Cloak, and Tom is a descendant of Salazar Slytherin. Their relationship with Dumbledore also has similarities and differences. Dumbledore saw potential in both of them, but while he guided Harry towards the light, he failed to fully turn Tom away from the dark. This complex web of relationships and similarities in their stories can be seen as elements that support the idea of it being like fanfiction, as fanfiction often plays with such character relationships and story arcs.
One reason is their similar origins as orphans. This common starting point sets up a parallel. Also, their connection to Hogwarts as a place of power and learning is significant. Another aspect is the power they both possess in magic. Tom Riddle was extremely powerful, and Harry also has great power within him. Their relationship as the hero and the villain can be seen as a fanfiction - like exploration of two extreme paths that could be taken from a similar starting point.
One reason could be that he wants to find new ways to manipulate the story. Since fanfiction can be so diverse, he might be looking for ideas that he can use to his advantage. Another reason could be a strange form of entertainment. Even though he's a dark character, he could still find the creativity in fanfiction amusing or useful in some way. And maybe, just maybe, he has a hidden love for the world of Harry Potter that he doesn't show in the original story.
One possible plot could be that Harry, using his knowledge of love and friendship, tries to teach Tom about the power of positive emotions. He might show Tom how his own journey was shaped by the love of his friends and family, in contrast to Tom's more solitary and power - hungry path. Maybe Harry takes Tom to Hogwarts in a time - travel like scenario and shows him the true meaning of the houses, not just the pursuit of power within Slytherin.
A lot could occur. Harry might try to instill in Tom the importance of forgiveness. Given that Harry has forgiven many of his enemies, he could explain to Tom that holding grudges and seeking revenge only leads to more pain and destruction. For example, when he forgave Snape in the end.
Yes. In a way, Harry Potter and Tom Riddle have many parallels. They are both orphans with a special connection to Hogwarts. Voldemort (Tom Riddle) is the main antagonist who was once a student at Hogwarts like Harry. The story often shows how Harry could have turned out like Tom if he had made different choices. So it can be seen as having elements of fanfiction in the sense that it plays with the idea of two similar characters on different paths.
A 'Harry Potter gives birth to Tom Riddle' fanfiction would be a very out - of - the - box concept. First, it would have to deal with the obvious gender - bending aspect as Harry is male in the canon. This could be achieved through some sort of magical transformation or experiment gone wrong. Then, there would be the implications for the wizarding world. How would the wizarding society react to such an event? And for Tom, his whole origin story would be completely rewritten. He might grow up with different values and motives, or he could still be influenced by his original dark tendencies. It would be a very complex and controversial fanfiction that would require a great deal of creativity to pull off.
It would be very strange. Maybe it would involve some sort of time - travel or alternate reality magic. For example, Harry could be sent back in time and through some magic accident, end up being in a situation where he is Tom Riddle's mother. The story would have to completely rewrite the established relationships and histories in the 'Harry Potter' world.
It could be really interesting. Maybe Harry would notice the early signs of Tom's dark nature and try to steer him away from the path of evil. They might become friends at first, with Harry seeing the lonely boy in Tom rather than the future Voldemort.
One possible plot twist could be that Tom Riddle discovers Harry has a hidden power that he didn't expect. Maybe Harry has the ability to resist Riddle's mind - control spells in a unique way. This could lead to a battle of wills between them where Harry tries to outwit Riddle while being held captive.
One possibility could be a story of internal conflict for Harry. He might struggle with the dark heritage from Tom Riddle while trying to uphold the values of the wizarding world he has grown to love. He could constantly battle his own darker instincts that come from being Voldemort's (Tom Riddle) son. For example, he might have an in - built talent for Parseltongue that he has to learn to control and use for good instead of evil.
One great 'Harry Potter Tom Riddle Fanfiction' is 'The Heir of Slytherin's Redemption'. It shows a different side of Tom Riddle, exploring what could have happened if he had been given a chance at a different path. It has a really interesting plot that keeps you hooked from start to finish.
