One possible reason could be to explore different parenting styles in the wizarding world. Spanking, although a controversial form of discipline, might be used by some writers to show how Harry's parents could have dealt with difficult situations. Another reason might be for shock value or to create a unique and unexpected story within the familiar Harry Potter setting. It could also be a way for the writer to delve deeper into the characters' personalities and how they might react in a situation that involves discipline.
Maybe they were forced into it by some dark magic or a powerful dark wizard. They could have been blackmailed into betraying Harry to save their own lives or the lives of others they cared about.
One possible reason could be that in the fanfic, the author might twist the story to make it seem like his parents' actions had unforeseen consequences that affected Harry negatively. For example, their fight against Voldemort led to Harry being an orphan and having to bear a great burden from a young age.
There could be. However, it's important to note that not all fanfics are easily accessible or well - known. The Harry Potter fandom is huge, and with so many fans creating their own stories, there's a chance that someone has written about this. But it may not be something that is widely promoted, as it's a rather specific and perhaps not - so - family - friendly concept within the otherwise magical and more positive themes of the original series.
One possible reason could be that he might feel abandoned. Growing up without them, he could resent the fact that they left him an orphan. He might think that if they were really so great, they would have found a way to survive and be there for him.
One reason could be the strict control by the official copyright holders. They might be worried about fanfic diluting the official brand or misinterpreting the original story. Another factor could be some fans' purist view. They only want to stick to the original works by J.K. Rowling and consider fanfic as something not in line with the 'true' Harry Potter universe.
One possible reason could be that he discovers some long - hidden family secrets that make him question his parents' actions or decisions. Maybe he finds out about some dark deeds in their past that he can't overlook.
One possible reason could be a misunderstanding. Maybe he discovers some secrets about his parents that he misinterprets. For example, if he finds out they were involved in some dangerous or morally ambiguous activities in their youth that he doesn't fully understand at first.
Another reason could be that they had some sort of premonition or prophecy that indicated the Dursleys' place was a crucial part of Harry's future protection. Maybe a seer told them that for Harry to grow into the wizard he needs to be, he has to endure the Dursley experience first.
It could also be that the fanfic might interfere with the way he wants his story to be remembered. His adventures at Hogwarts were real and important to him, and when fanfic changes the narrative, it's like his story is being disrespected. For example, if a fanfic portrays him as cowardly when he was actually brave, that would surely make him dislike it.
One possible reason could be a miscommunication. Maybe Hermione accidentally reveals a secret of Harry's that he didn't want known, and this causes him to feel betrayed and start to hate her. Another reason could be jealousy. If Hermione gets more attention or praise for her magical abilities than Harry in the fanfic, he might develop feelings of envy and hatred. Or perhaps there's a love triangle situation where Hermione is involved with someone Harry doesn't like, and that causes his hatred.
