In fanfiction, it could lead to a complete transformation of their relationship. Snape dressing Harry might be a catalyst for them to see each other as more than just a teacher - student or adversary. They might start to share secrets and feelings during the dressing process. For instance, Snape could tell Harry about his own past experiences related to clothing or appearance, and Harry could open up about his insecurities. This new - found openness can make their relationship much more positive and collaborative.
It could severely strain their relationship at first. Snape might become even more bitter towards Harry, seeing this as just another sign of his lack of respect. Harry, on the other hand, might feel a bit of guilt but also a sense of righteousness if he thought Snape deserved it. However, over time, this incident could also be a turning point. It might force them to communicate more directly, which could lead to a more complex and nuanced relationship, whether it becomes more positive or remains hostile but with a new understanding.
At first, it would likely strain their relationship even more. Snape is used to having the upper hand and Harry's defiance would anger him. But in the long run, it could lead to a grudging respect from Snape. He might start to see Harry as more than just James Potter's son and realize that Harry has his own strength of character.
The teaching could initially make their relationship worse. Snape's harsh approach might make Harry resent him even more. However, as Harry progresses in Occlumency, he might start to understand Snape's tough love, and this could be a turning point in their relationship. They could start to communicate more openly and with less animosity.
At first, it strains their relationship. Snape is still bitter towards Harry because of his father, and Harry doesn't trust Snape. But as the lessons progress, they start to understand each other a bit more. Harry realizes that Snape has some valuable knowledge to offer, and Snape sees that Harry is trying hard. This slowly builds a grudging respect between them.
It could initially create more tension. Harry might be suspicious of Snape's motives, especially considering their generally strained relationship. He could start to wonder if Snape is up to something malicious.
This perception would likely lead to more conflict. Snape already has a pre - existing dislike for Harry due to his relation to James. Thinking Harry is spoiled would just add fuel to the fire. He might be more dismissive of Harry's achievements, believing they are a result of his 'spoiled' nature rather than his own hard work.
In fanfiction, their relationship can develop in many ways. Sometimes it starts with Harry being suspicious of Snape as in the original books, but then Snape shows his selfless side. For example, he might save Harry from a dark spell and that starts to change Harry's view.
On the other hand, sometimes the punishment can lead to an unexpected understanding. Snape might see Ginny's potential through her mistakes during the punishment process. For example, he could notice her determination when she has to complete a difficult task as punishment, and Ginny might also realize that Snape's strictness is not entirely without reason. This could gradually transform their relationship from one of animosity to a more complex, grudging respect.
It could strengthen their relationship. Draco would likely be very grateful to Snape for saving his life or helping him recover. This new - found gratitude might make Draco more trusting and respectful towards Snape. Snape, on the other hand, might see Draco in a new light and become more protective of him.
Snape's punishment can initially strain their relationship. Draco might feel resentful towards Snape for singling him out and giving him harsh punishments. For example, if Snape makes Draco clean the Potions classroom alone, Draco may think Snape is being unfair. However, in the long run, it could also strengthen their relationship. As Draco matures, he may come to understand that Snape's punishments were a way to guide him and keep him out of real trouble.
