It could be a story about identity. Harry growing up as a Winchester would mean he has to grapple with a completely different identity. He would be part of a family known for hunting supernatural beings rather than being the Boy Who Lived in the wizarding world. His magical abilities might be seen as something strange or even a curse in the Winchester world. This could lead to an internal struggle as he tries to reconcile his two very different heritages and figure out who he really is.
One possibility is that Harry would grow up with a very different set of skills. Jason Winchester is often associated with hunting and survival skills. So Harry might be trained in those areas instead of magic at first. He could be more physically adept and have a more hands - on approach to dealing with threats. For example, instead of using a wand to fight off dark wizards, he might use a weapon like a knife or a gun as Jason Winchester would. Also, his view of the world could be shaped by Jason's more gritty and down - to - earth perspective, rather than the magical world view he has in the original Harry Potter series.
In a story where Harry is raised by a boggart, he could have a very distorted view of the world. The boggart, not being a normal caregiver, might not be able to provide the love and stability that a normal family would. So, Harry might be more withdrawn and distrustful. He might also have a hard time making friends at Hogwarts as his upbringing by a boggart could have made him seem strange to other students.
The story could show Harry being an outcast among wizards at first because of his mermaid - influenced behavior. For example, he might not understand some of the basic social norms in the wizarding world. However, his mermaid - raised skills could also make him a very powerful wizard in certain areas, like water - based spells or divination related to the sea.
Well, it might be hidden at first. Since the Winchester world is more about physical combat and hunting non - magical threats, Harry might have to keep his magic a secret. He could use it in a very discreet way when it's absolutely necessary, like when facing a magical creature that normal Winchester methods can't handle.
The story could be really interesting. Maybe the female Harry Potter would have a different set of friends. Instead of Ron and Hermione, she might befriend children from noble wizarding families. Her magical education could also be different. The Queen might ensure she has the best tutors, not just from Hogwarts but from all over the wizarding world. This could lead to her having a broader knowledge of magic and different magical cultures, which would be really exciting to explore in the fanfiction.
Well, it could be really interesting. Harry would grow up in a very different environment. Instead of the wizarding world at first, he'd be in Gotham. Bruce Wayne, being the Dark Knight, would likely train Harry in self - defense and detective skills. Harry might bring some magic into Gotham's crime - fighting, like using spells to disarm criminals instead of batarangs. It would be a whole new take on both the Harry Potter and Batman universes.
Well, the plot could involve Harry having a very different upbringing. Instead of the Dursleys, he'd be in Poseidon's underwater realm. He might learn water - based magic or have special powers related to the sea. Maybe he'd have a connection with sea creatures and they'd help him in his adventures, just like how his friends at Hogwarts do in the original series.
One possibility is that Harry would grow up with a very different set of skills. Vergil is a powerful and complex character from the Devil May Cry series. He could train Harry in combat, both physical and magical in a way that's far more intense than what he'd get at Hogwarts. Harry might become more of a lone wolf, relying on his own strength rather than the support of friends as much as in the original series.
Definitely Sam and Dean Winchester. They would be like his surrogate brothers or mentors. Then there's Castiel, the angel. He could have some interesting interactions with Harry, perhaps being intrigued by his magic. Bobby Singer could also be there, guiding Harry in the ways of hunting.
One possibility is that Harry would be trained in dark magic from a young age. He might grow up believing in the Dark Lord's ideology, which would put him at odds with his friends from the original story. For example, he could be a formidable opponent to Hermione and Ron when they eventually cross paths.
Well, in such a fanfiction, Harry Potter being raised as a Winchester would likely mean a whole new set of adventures. The Winchesters are used to dealing with demons and monsters. Harry could bring his magical knowledge to that world. For example, he could use spells to track down creatures that the Winchesters usually hunt with their research and weapons. His upbringing in the Winchester way would make him more of a fighter, perhaps less reliant on the wizarding world's institutions.
