The power dynamic also shifts. Usually, Dumbledore is seen as a mentor and a figure of authority. But when Harry denounces him, Harry is challenging that authority. In some fanfic, this could lead to a power struggle within the wizarding community as others take sides. It can also cause Harry to seek new allies who share his view of Dumbledore, changing the social fabric of the story.
The relationship would become very strained. Harry's rejection would likely make Dumbledore re - evaluate his actions and how he has interacted with Harry. Dumbledore might be shocked at first, since he probably thought Harry was on the same page as him most of the time.
The relationship turns into one of opposition in some fanfics. Harry, now independent, may be working towards goals that Dumbledore doesn't approve of. Dumbledore may see Harry as a loose cannon and try to control him from a distance, while Harry resents any such attempts. Their interactions become tense and full of unspoken accusations.
As the story progresses, Dumbledore might try to make amends. He could start revealing some of his secrets to Harry in an attempt to regain his trust. Harry, on the other hand, would be hesitant at first but gradually start to listen and understand Dumbledore's reasons.
The fanfiction might show a more adversarial relationship. Harry could start to oppose Dumbledore's plans instead of following them blindly. This is very different from the original where Harry was mostly compliant. For example, in the original, Harry accepted Dumbledore's tasks like finding the Horcruxes, but in the fanfiction, he might question the motives behind these tasks and resist them.
Well, it could show that their relationship was based on false pretenses. Harry might find out that Dumbledore had ulterior motives for taking him under his wing. In the fanfiction, this would completely change the dynamic. Instead of the warm, if somewhat distant, relationship in the books, it could be a relationship where Harry feels used and deceived. This new view of the relationship would likely drive Harry to break away from Dumbledore's influence and forge his own path more determinedly.
Well, it could make Hermione very worried. Since she's usually the one who supports Harry and tries to keep him on the right path. If Harry refuses to help Dumbledore, Hermione might try to persuade him. This could create some tension between them if Harry is stubborn. For example, she might think Harry is being selfish or short - sighted.
Among the students, Harry's action would make him a very polarizing figure. Some students would see him as a hero for taking a stand against the all - powerful Dumbledore, while others would view him as a troublemaker. This would completely change the social dynamics within the school. The younger students might look up to him with a mix of awe and fear, while the older students might be more critical of his actions.
The fanfic changes the perception of Dumbledore's character in that it shatters the image of his infallibility. He is no longer the perfect headmaster and guide. Stealing from Harry shows that he is capable of moral wrongs, and this can lead to a more nuanced understanding of his character, where he is not simply all - good or all - bad but a mix of both, with his own motives and desires that might not always align with what is best for Harry.
It might make Harry more confident. With Dumbledore's training, Harry gains more knowledge and skills, which gives him the confidence to face challenges.
It could create a rift. Harry might feel betrayed or not understood by Dumbledore. If Harry is starting to explore his own identity and Dumbledore is against it, Harry would likely be hurt and this could lead to a strained relationship. He might start to question Dumbledore's wisdom and guidance that he has always relied on.
