In some fanfictions, Snape's impulses towards Harry can be complex. One common portrayal is that his lingering love for Lily extends to a sense of protectiveness over Harry. He might have an impulse to keep Harry safe from the real threats in the wizarding world, even if he doesn't show it openly. This is often a way for fanfiction authors to explore the deeper, unspoken emotions Snape could have had for Harry based on his relationship with Lily.
In certain fanfictions, Snape's impulse towards Harry can be a mix of rivalry and begrudging respect. Snape, being a proud and accomplished wizard, might see Harry as a rival in some ways, especially when Harry shows great magical abilities. However, at the same time, he can't help but respect Harry's courage and the fact that he is Lily's son. This combination of emotions creates a unique dynamic between them in fan - made stories.
Well, sometimes in fanfiction, Snape's impulse regarding Harry is driven by guilt. He feels guilty for his role in Lily's death间接 (since he was the one who told Voldemort about the prophecy). So, this guilt might translate into an impulse to atone by helping Harry, like secretly teaching him advanced magic or warning him about upcoming dangers. It adds an interesting layer to their relationship in the fan - created stories.
Often in fanfiction, Snape's impulse towards Harry is also influenced by the power dynamics at Hogwarts. Snape is a teacher and Harry is a student. Snape might have an impulse to assert his authority over Harry, which can be misconstrued as pure animosity. However, there could be underlying reasons related to his own insecurities and past experiences that play into this dynamic in the fan - written stories.
One possible reason could be his lingering resentment towards James Potter, Harry's father. Snape and James had a long - standing feud during their school days. Since Harry looks a lot like James, Snape might be transferring his old grudges onto Harry.
One common reason is Snape's lingering hatred for James Potter. Since Harry looks so much like his father, Snape might take out his old grudges on Harry. He sees James in Harry and can't help but be reminded of the past bullying and his unrequited love for Lily. So, he acts hurtfully towards Harry as a way to get back at James, even if it's not really fair to Harry.
One possible reason could be that in the fanfiction, the author might explore Snape's complex past with Harry's mother, Lily. Snape's love for Lily could translate into a more nuanced view of Harry. He may see parts of Lily in Harry and that softens his hatred.
One example could be that Snape secretly helps Harry with his Potions work. He might leave some useful hints or books where Harry can find them. Maybe he gives Harry a potion ingredient that is hard to get when he sees Harry struggling to complete a difficult potion recipe.
By the end of the series, after Snape's death, Harry fully realizes the sacrifices Snape has made for him. Snape's attitude towards Harry was always influenced by his love for Harry's mother, and in the end, Harry understands and respects Snape in a way he couldn't before.
One possible reason could be that in the fanfic, Snape realizes Harry has more of Lily in him than he initially thought. Harry might show kindness or a particular trait that reminds Snape of Lily, softening his feelings.
One possible reason could be Snape's past experiences. Maybe he had a difficult childhood himself and doesn't know how to handle having a son. He might project his own insecurities and traumas onto Harry. Another reason could be that he sees too much of Harry's father in him. Since Snape had a long - standing feud with Harry's father, seeing those traits in Harry could trigger his hatred.
In some fanfictions, Snape and Harry might have a grudging truce during Christmas. For example, Snape could be forced to supervise Harry's Christmas activities at Hogwarts, leading to some tense but interesting interactions. Harry might be secretly trying to figure out Snape's true nature during this time.
Yes, there are likely some fanfictions with this concept. The Harry Potter fandom is very creative, and writers often come up with unique relationships between characters. Some might explore the idea of Snape being Harry's brother to add new layers of drama, mystery, and character development to the story.
