It completely flips their relationship. In the original story, McGonagall is a respected figure for Harry. But in this fanfiction, the hatred makes their interactions tense and negative.
McGonagall often serves as a mother - like figure in fanfiction. She might comfort Harry when he's facing difficulties with Voldemort or other challenges at Hogwarts. Her influence is seen in how Harry approaches problems. He learns from her to think calmly and use his wits, rather than just relying on his Gryffindor bravado. This helps him make better decisions and grow into a more well - rounded wizard.
She might immediately comfort him. McGonagall is a strict but kind teacher. She could put a hand on his shoulder and say soothing words like 'There, there, Mr. Potter. It will be all right.'
She might react with her usual no - nonsense attitude. McGonagall is known for being strict but fair. So she would first listen carefully to Harry's problem, her eyes fixed on him, and then start to analyze the situation. She may not show much emotion on the surface, but deep down, she's concerned for Harry's well - being.
In 'Harry Defends McGonagall' fanfiction, it might show Harry's loyalty and respect for McGonagall. He could defend her against false accusations or unjust treatment. Maybe it's set in a situation where McGonagall is being wrongly blamed for something, and Harry, with his sense of justice, steps up.
Yes, there are likely fanfictions out there with this concept. Fanfiction writers often come up with creative and alternative family relationships for characters. They might explore how Harry's story would be different if he were McGonagall's son, perhaps delving into different character dynamics and plot developments within the magical world of Harry Potter.

McGonagall might be initially shocked. She's a strict teacher and not used to such an informal and deeply emotional form of address. But then she could feel a sense of warmth and responsibility towards Harry. She might start to show more care in her actions, like making sure he eats well in the Great Hall or checking on his studies more closely.
She might be initially cautious. Given that becoming an Animagus is a complex and dangerous process, she would likely want to ensure Harry fully understands the implications. She could start by asking him why he wants to become one.
