Harry's character might change in that he becomes more open - minded. Instead of seeing Draco as just an enemy, he starts to see the potential for a family connection. This could lead to him being more collaborative with Slytherins in general. Draco's character transformation could be more profound. He could completely shift his worldviews. His loyalty, which was initially towards his pure - blood family's ideals, could now be divided or even redirected towards his newfound brother Harry and the more inclusive values that Harry represents.

The bond could change Harry's character by making him more protective. He already has a strong sense of protecting those he cares about, but with Draco as a brother, he might be even more vigilant. Draco, on the other hand, could become more empathetic. He has been quite cold in the original story, but the bond with Harry could thaw his heart and make him more caring towards others as well.

Well, if Hermione was Draco's sibling in fanfiction, it would completely turn the original story on its head. For one, the whole Gryffindor - Slytherin rivalry would be so different. Hermione, with her strong moral compass and love for learning, being related to Draco, who was brought up in a very different pure - blood - centric environment. It would mean that Hermione might have had a different upbringing herself, perhaps being more exposed to the wizarding world's pure - blood politics from an early age. This could lead to her having different relationships with characters like Harry and Ron. She might have been able to bridge the gap between Gryffindor and Slytherin more effectively, and it could have changed the way the fight against Voldemort was carried out, as she could have used her connection to the Malfoy family to gain more information or sway certain Slytherins to the side of good.

Draco, who was used to being with his Slytherin clique, now has to deal with Harry's Gryffindor friends. This new dynamic forces them both to step out of their comfort zones. It also makes them more adaptable. They learn to handle different situations and people better because of their friendship.
One plotline could be that they discover their sibling bond through a hidden family secret. Maybe a magical object reveals their connection. Another could be that they start to protect each other from the dark forces in the wizarding world despite their initial differences. For example, when Draco is forced to do Voldemort's bidding, Harry, as his new - found brother, tries to save him from making a huge mistake.
