In this fanfiction, Snape might raise Harry in a more secluded environment. He would try to protect Harry from the wizarding world's prying eyes as much as possible. Harry would learn about his parents from Snape's perspective, which could be a very different view compared to what he would have heard otherwise. Snape would also train Harry to be more self - reliant and less impulsive, as he knows the danger that Harry's fame and the prophecy bring.
The plot could take a really interesting turn when it comes to Voldemort. Since Snape is raising Harry, he might train Harry in a way that Voldemort doesn't expect. Maybe Harry would be more of a spy in the dark side's camp. Snape could also use his position to mislead Voldemort about Harry's true abilities and intentions. This would create a whole new set of challenges and power dynamics in the fight against the Dark Lord. Harry's loyalties would be constantly tested, and his relationship with Snape would be even more crucial to the story.
One interesting plot idea could be that Snape, in raising Harry, teaches him advanced potions from a very young age. Harry becomes a prodigy in potions, much to the surprise of the other Hogwarts students. Another idea is that Snape's strict but fair upbringing makes Harry more reserved and less impulsive, which changes the way he interacts with his friends. He might be more cautious and calculating in his actions, especially when dealing with enemies like Voldemort.
One popular fanfiction with this concept might be 'The Unthinkable' (this is just an example, not an actual well - known title with this exact plot). In many such fanfictions, it explores how Snape's personality would influence Harry's upbringing. Snape, being strict yet intelligent, could instill in Harry a different set of values compared to the Dursleys or even Dumbledore's influence in the original series.
In some fanfictions, the plot could revolve around Snape teaching Harry about the Dark Arts in a way that Dumbledore never would. Harry might become more proficient in defensive spells against the Dark Arts but also be more exposed to the darker side of magic. This could create a moral dilemma for Harry as he grows up. Additionally, the relationship between Harry and Draco Malfoy could be completely different, as Snape's influence on Harry might make him less likely to be enemies with Draco from the start.
One interesting plot could be Snape raising Harry while secretly training him in advanced potions and dark arts defenses. Harry would grow up with a different perspective on Snape, seeing him as a strict but caring father figure. Another plot might involve Snape having to protect Harry from other dark wizards who suspect Harry's true potential. This could lead to some intense magical battles and Snape using his knowledge and skills to keep Harry safe.
Snape's character development in these stories can be quite extensive. He starts off as a somewhat cold and distant figure, but as he raises Harry, he begins to soften. He might start to show more humor, which is a side of him we rarely saw in the original books. He also becomes more forgiving. For example, he might forgive Harry for the small mistakes he makes as a child growing up. And his relationship with other Hogwarts staff may improve as they see the positive influence he has on Harry. Overall, his character goes from a solitary, bitter man to a more caring and involved member of the wizarding world.
Well, this type of fanfiction changes the original story in multiple ways. Firstly, the character of Harry is likely to be more reserved and perhaps more studious under Snape's care. Snape, being a strict teacher, would enforce discipline in Harry's study of magic. Secondly, the whole mystery around Harry's parents and his role in the wizarding world might be revealed to him in a different order. Since Snape has his own secrets and grudges related to James Potter, he might tell Harry things in a different light compared to Dumbledore. Moreover, the relationship between Snape and the other Hogwarts faculty would also change. They would have to accept Snape as Harry's guardian, which could lead to some interesting power dynamics and storylines at Hogwarts.
Well, perhaps Kaguya would use her otherworldly powers to protect Harry from Voldemort. Maybe she'd teach him some unique magic that's different from the wizarding world in Harry Potter. For example, she could introduce him to some ancient spells from her own realm.
Well, one possible plot could be that Magneto, with his strong views on mutants and power, would train Harry to be extremely powerful in magic. Harry might grow up with a more aggressive stance towards those who oppose him, like Voldemort. He could use his magic in ways that are more combat - oriented from a young age.
In a 'Harry Potter raised on Mars' fanfiction, the story could start with a strange magical accident that lands Harry on Mars. There, he is raised by a lone wizard who has been exiled there for some unknown reason. The wizard teaches Harry about magic in the context of the Martian landscape. Harry might develop new spells or ways of using magic that are specific to Mars. For example, he could use the low - gravity to enhance the power of levitation spells. He would also face challenges like the extreme climate and the mystery of the Martian ruins, which could hold some powerful magical secrets related to his past or the future of both Earth and Mars.
