Another aspect could be the never - ending battle against Voldemort. The fear, the stress, and the constant danger might have taken a toll on his mental health. He might think that dying would end this cycle of fear and uncertainty.
One possible reason could be his past experiences with some cruel adults, like the Dursleys. They treated him horribly, so in fanfiction, this trauma might make him generally fearful of adults. Another reason could be his experiences with certain authority figures at Hogwarts who may have been strict or unfair, which could be exaggerated in fanfiction to create a fear of adults.
One reason could be a reaction to the Ministry of Magic's mismanagement. In the original story, the Ministry often made mistakes and had corrupt elements. In fanfiction, this could lead to Harry becoming an anarchist as a way to oppose such a flawed system.
One reason could be that the official Harry Potter canon is so extensive and detailed that it overshadows fanfiction. The original story has such a rich world, characters, and plotlines that it becomes the main focus for many fans, leaving less room for fan - created stories.
One reason could be safety. Some fanfiction authors might think that Hogwarts is too dangerous for Harry, so they make him homeschooled to keep him out of harm's way.
Some fanfiction writers may have a different vision for Harry Potter's character. They might see him as more of a diplomat or a healer within the wizarding world, rather than a fighter. So, they write stories that reflect this different view of the character, where he uses his wits and other skills rather than engaging in physical or magical combat.
One reason could be to explore the darker side of human nature. Even though Harry is a hero in the original series, fanfiction writers might want to see how he would be affected if he was pushed to his limits. Another reason is to create a more complex and controversial storyline. It grabs readers' attention as it goes against the normal perception of Harry.
Well, in the original series, Harry is a fighter. He always tries to stay alive to fulfill his destiny. But in this fanfiction, his desire to die is a huge deviation. It shows a much darker and more desperate side of him that we don't really see in the original.
One possible reason could be that he feels constantly in danger at Hogwarts. With all the dark magic threats and attacks that keep happening, he might think leaving would keep his friends and himself safer. For example, after the Chamber of Secrets incident, he might have considered leaving to protect others from Voldemort's influence.
Maybe he's curious about different interpretations of his own story. In fanfictions, his character might be in new and exciting adventures that the original books didn't cover.
It could be a case of misinformation. Someone in the story might have spread false rumors about Harry being the father for their own motives. Perhaps they wanted to cause chaos or gain something from the situation. So, the whole idea of Harry being the father is just a false story that gets spread around the wizarding community.
