Well, it could be that Dumbledore, in some fanfic versions, figures it out first and then reveals it to Harry. Dumbledore is often portrayed as having a deep understanding of magic. He might have noticed some strange magical patterns or behaviors related to Harry that led him to suspect and then confirm that Harry was a Horcrux. And then he would tell Harry about it, which is how Harry comes to know.
One consequence could be that Harry feels an internal struggle. Since he has a part of Voldemort's soul in him, he might have to constantly fight against the dark impulses that come with it. For example, he may find himself having more aggressive thoughts or being more easily influenced by dark magic in certain situations.
One consequence could be that his connection to Voldemort becomes even stronger. This might lead to him being able to sense Voldemort's actions and thoughts more clearly, but also make him more vulnerable to Voldemort's attacks on his mind. Since the Horcrux is a part of Voldemort's soul, it could also start to influence Harry's personality, making him more aggressive or moody at times.
Yes, in some fanfiction, Harry Potter is considered a Horcrux. This concept adds an interesting twist to the original story, exploring different aspects of magic and the connection between Harry and Voldemort.
If Harry were to create a Horcrux in fanfiction, it would likely lead to a great corruption of his soul. Horcruxes are dark magic, and the act goes against all that Harry stands for in the original series. He might start to show signs of increased aggression, a detachment from his friends, and a growing attraction to the Dark Arts.
Perhaps his father's old wand. It has a connection to his family and his heritage. Since it's a wand, it already has a certain amount of magical energy, so it could potentially be a suitable vessel for a Horcrux. And it would be a very interesting twist on the concept of a Horcrux as wands are not a typical choice.
Well, in some fanfictions, a Horcrux might be purified through powerful magic spells that are specifically created for the purpose. For example, a spell that can reverse the dark magic used to create the Horcrux in the first place.
One implication is a deeper connection between Harry and Voldemort. Their fates are even more intertwined than in the original story.
In this kind of fanfiction, it often shows Ginny's shock and the complex emotions she might have. She might be worried about Harry's fate, as being a Horcrux means he is tied to Voldemort in a very dangerous way. This discovery could lead to her trying to find a way to break the Horcrux connection without harming Harry.
One interesting concept is the idea of creating new Horcruxes. In some fanfictions, a character might attempt to create a Horcrux in a different way than Voldemort did, perhaps using a more unique object or spell. Another concept could be the destruction of Horcruxes in unexpected ways. For example, a fanfic might explore if a Horcrux could be destroyed by a powerful emotion rather than a specific magical weapon.
Well, identity exploration is a big one. Harry has to figure out what it means to be a Horcrux on top of being the Boy Who Lived. There is also the theme of moral conflict. He is part of Voldemort's dark creation, yet he is the symbol of hope. How does he balance this? Another common theme is the exploration of magic. Since he is a Horcrux, there could be new and different magical aspects to his being that fanfic writers can explore, like how his Horcrux - ness affects his magical abilities or his connection to other magical objects.
