The relationships in the story are affected too. Harry's relationship with Dumbledore would become strained. Other characters who are loyal to Dumbledore might also turn against Harry. And Harry might form new alliances with characters who also have doubts about Dumbledore's leadership in this fanfiction.
It could completely shift the power balance and moral compass of the story. With Dumbledore on the 'dark side', the usual alliances and conflicts would be turned upside down.
Well, if Harry Potter doesn't have emotions in the fanfiction, it would make the story much more robotic. The relationships he has with his friends like Ron and Hermione would be very different. There would be no emotional depth to their interactions. For example, when they face challenges together, instead of having the normal fear, excitement or determination, Harry would just act in a very matter - of - fact way, which would take away a lot of the heart and soul from the story.
Well, it changes a lot. For one thing, the whole dynamic of Hogwarts would be different. Harry would be more alone without Ron by his side. He would have to find new allies and support systems, which would mean new friendships would form that were not in the original story.
This type of fanfic might shift the focus from the fight against Voldemort to the internal conflict between Harry and Dumbledore. It could explore different character traits of both of them that were not as prominent in the original. For example, Harry's potential for anger and Dumbledore's more flawed side.
It could lead to different alliances. Harry might form new friendships or partnerships that he wouldn't have in the original story. This could change the power dynamics in the wizarding world. For example, he might team up more with Hermione alone, and their relationship could develop in a different way, perhaps more romantically earlier since they don't have Ron as a buffer.
It shakes the foundation of the trust that fans have in the characters. Dumbledore is often seen as a wise and benevolent figure. If Harry destroys his reputation, it makes fans question all the previous events and decisions that Dumbledore was involved in. For example, his guidance to Harry might now seem suspect.
Well, it makes him seem more complex. In the original stories, Harry is often seen as a family - oriented person. But in this fanfiction, it shows that he can be a character with flaws and different emotions. It gives him a more human side, not just the hero who always loves and protects his family.
It might make Harry more confident. With Dumbledore's training, Harry gains more knowledge and skills, which gives him the confidence to face challenges.
His friends might be divided in their opinions. Some of them might still trust Dumbledore wholeheartedly and think Harry is overreacting. This could lead to arguments and a strain in their relationships.
Well, it changes the emotional core of the story. In the original, Harry's longing for his parents was a huge part of his character. But in this fanfiction, that longing might be more complex. For instance, if Dumbledore's actions were unjust, Harry could have a sense of betrayal towards Dumbledore, which is different from the original where Dumbledore was mostly seen as a mentor.
