Harry has always seen Snape as a rather cold and strict figure. However, in this fanfic where Snape takes care of him, Harry's view would shift gradually. Snape's care could come in the form of protecting Harry from other threats at Hogwarts. This would make Harry question his previous assumptions about Snape. He might start to feel a sense of gratitude towards Snape, and this would completely change his view from one of dislike to a more positive, or at least a more understanding one.
Well, at first Harry might be very suspicious. But as Snape shows consistent care, Harry could start to see him in a new light. Maybe he realizes that Snape has more layers than he thought. He might begin to understand that Snape's past actions were more complex than just being mean to him.
Well, in such a fanfiction, it could greatly change the storyline. Snape is often portrayed as a complex and somewhat bitter character in the original story. But if he takes care of baby Harry, he might develop a different kind of bond with him. Maybe he'd become more protective and less resentful towards Harry as he watches him grow. This could lead to a completely different dynamic between Snape and the other characters too, like Dumbledore. He might not be as secretive from Dumbledore about his feelings for Harry.
In the fanfiction, Harry's relationship with Snape himself would of course be very different. When Snape grows up, he might have a different view of Harry. Since Harry took care of him as a baby, there could be an underlying sense of gratitude, although Snape might not show it openly. And Harry, having seen Snape as a vulnerable baby, might have more empathy for him in their later interactions, which could change the whole dynamic of their relationship compared to what we see in the original books.
Snape's character may become more empathetic. At first, he might be his usual cold self, but as he takes care of Harry, he starts to understand Harry's situation better and shows more kindness.
Often, Snape is shown as a secret protector. He might use his position in Hogwarts to keep Harry away from those who would harm him further. For example, he could give Harry extra potions to help him heal from physical abuse or offer advice on how to deal with bullies.
In some fanfictions, Snape's care for Harry might be shown through secret protection. For example, he might keep an eye on Harry during dangerous situations at Hogwarts without Harry knowing. He could also subtly guide Harry in his studies of Potions, giving him hints that are not obvious to others.
In fanfic, Snape can definitely care for an abused Harry. Some fanfic stories might rewrite Snape's character motivation. For example, his long - standing grudge against Harry's father might be set aside as he realizes that Harry is an innocent victim of circumstances. He could then use his skills and knowledge to help Harry deal with the abuse, whether it's emotional or physical. This could be a way for the writer to explore themes of redemption and second chances for Snape as well as providing a different kind of support system for Harry.
Well, it could be about Snape feeling a sense of duty. Maybe after Harry loses his sight in a battle against the Dark Arts, Snape, despite their past differences, steps in. He might start by teaching Harry new ways to navigate Hogwarts using magic that doesn't rely on sight, like advanced sonar - like spells.
One common scenario is Snape protecting Harry from the Dark Arts attacks within Hogwarts. Another could be Snape helping Harry with his studies privately, especially in potions where Snape is an expert.
Definitely. Fanfiction allows for different interpretations of characters. Snape's care for Harry can be seen through his actions in some stories. Maybe he leaves anonymous hints for Harry to solve problems or uses his influence to keep Harry out of certain harms. It's an interesting exploration of what could have been between them.
There might be a fanfiction where Harry takes care of Snape after a battle. He could be the one to tend to Snape's wounds, both physical and emotional. Since Snape has always been a rather closed - off character, Harry's attempts to get through to him and provide care could be a great source of character development for both of them. Harry might use his Gryffindor courage to break down Snape's walls.
