His magical skills could develop in a more diverse way. Since Snape is a highly skilled wizard, he can introduce Draco to different branches of magic. Draco might not focus solely on the Dark Arts or the magic that is typically associated with the Malfoy family. Instead, he could learn about defensive magic, potions for good causes, and other areas that expand his magical repertoire. This would lead to a more well - rounded and less one - dimensional Draco as a character.
Draco could become more empathetic. Snape's own experiences of being an outcast in some ways can be shared with Draco. This may make Draco more understanding of those who are different, like Muggle - borns. He might start to question the prejudices he was brought up with.
In the fanfiction, Draco might become more independent in his thinking. With Snape's focus on him rather than Harry, he has a different kind of spotlight. This could make him less influenced by the pure - blood supremacy ideas that his family adheres to. He may start to interact more with other houses, especially if Snape encourages it, and develop a more inclusive view of the wizarding world, which is a huge departure from his rather narrow - minded character in the original series.
Well, in these fanfictions, Snape often becomes more openly affectionate towards Harry. Instead of hiding his feelings behind a mask of coldness, he gradually lets his guard down. For example, he might start giving Harry small gifts like a special quill or a book on advanced magic that was once important to him.
He could be more empathetic. Sirius has a big heart, and being around him, Draco would be exposed to his way of caring for others. This could make Draco more in tune with the feelings of those around him, whether they are pure - blood, half - blood or muggle - born.
Well, Snape's care can make Draco more confident. Knowing he has someone like Snape looking out for him gives him a sense of security. This can lead to Draco being less arrogant and more self - aware. He might start to question some of the pure - blood supremacist ideas he was raised with, as Snape's care could show him that there are more important things than just blood status.
Draco's character often develops by becoming more open - minded. In the Muggle world, he's forced to confront ideas and ways of life that are completely different from what he knew in the wizarding world. This can make him more empathetic towards others. For example, if he meets a Muggle who is struggling financially but still has a positive attitude, it might make him re - evaluate his own values.
In these fanfictions, Draco's character development can be quite diverse. He could initially be resistant to his new family, but as he gets to know them better, he begins to soften. His experiences with his new family might expose him to different magical cultures or ideas that he never considered before. This could lead to him becoming more open - minded and less arrogant. He may also develop new skills or talents under the guidance of his new family members.
Draco becomes more empathetic. Adopting Harry makes him look beyond his old pure - blood supremacist views. He starts to understand the struggles Harry has faced.
Draco's character development in this fanfiction is likely to be significant. Living with the Weasleys, he's exposed to a whole new set of values. He starts to see that blood purity isn't everything, as the Weasleys value people for who they are. This makes him question his own upbringing. He may become more empathetic towards those he previously looked down upon. For example, he could start to understand the struggles of Muggle - borns like Hermione. His arrogance may gradually fade as he experiences the warmth and acceptance of the Weasley family, which is very different from the cold environment of Malfoy Manor.
In the fanfiction, their relationship would be complex at the start. Snape, having his own demons and secrets, would be a bit of an enigma to Draco. Draco, on the other hand, would be dealing with the loss of his family's status. Snape would start by providing a stable home for Draco. As they interact more, Draco would notice Snape's small acts of kindness. Snape would encourage Draco to explore his own identity outside of the Malfoy name. This would lead to a closer relationship, with Snape teaching Draco about things like loyalty, sacrifice, and the true nature of magic, and Draco in turn bringing out a more human side of Snape.
Their relationship develops in a rather interesting way. Snape, being a strict mentor, forces Harry and Draco to look past their differences. Harry begins to understand Snape's past and the reasons for his actions, which in turn makes him more open to Draco. Draco, who has always been in Snape's good graces to some extent, has to adjust to sharing Snape's attention with Harry. This causes some initial jealousy but later leads to a sort of rivalry - turned - friendship as they both grow under Snape's tutelage.
