One possible reason could be that the author wants to create a sense of mystery. By making Harry Potter stop talking, it makes the readers wonder what he is thinking or feeling, and adds an air of enigma to his character. Maybe he has witnessed something so shocking that he is rendered speechless for a while.
The writer can use body language. For instance, they can describe how Harry's eyes look downcast, his shoulders slump, and he just shakes his head slightly instead of speaking. This non - verbal communication can show that he has chosen not to talk.
One possible reason could be a misunderstanding. Maybe Hermione does something that Harry misinterprets, like siding with someone he doesn't trust in a Hogwarts issue. Another reason might be jealousy. If Hermione starts getting closer to another character, Harry could feel left out and stop talking to her. Or perhaps a dark influence affects Harry's mind, making him think Hermione is a threat to him in some way.
In some fanfictions, Snape might use his advanced knowledge of potions to create a special concoction to heal Harry. He could draw on his skills in Herbology as well to find rare ingredients for the potion.
The concept of 'Harry Potter stops Dumbledore' might also be related to character development. Harry has always respected Dumbledore, but as he matures, he may start to question Dumbledore's actions. By stopping Dumbledore, he is asserting his own beliefs and values. It could be in a situation where Dumbledore's actions were endangering the school or their friends. Harry, having a different perspective from his own experiences, decides to intervene to protect what he holds dear.
In this kind of fanfiction scenario, Snape might initially be conflicted. On one hand, he has his long - standing dislike for James Potter, Harry's father. But on the other, his sense of duty as a Hogwarts professor could kick in. He might reluctantly start to heal Harry, all the while muttering under his breath about how much trouble Harry always seems to get into, just like his father. Then, as he heals Harry, he might start to see some of Lily, Harry's mother, in him and soften a bit.
One more to consider is 'Snape: Beyond the Surface'. In this story, the author explores Snape's relationships with other characters like Dumbledore and McGonagall. It shows how his interactions with them were not always as straightforward as they seemed in the original books and adds more depth to his character.
One great Snape fanfiction is 'The Prince's Tale Redux'. It delves deeper into Snape's relationship with Lily. It shows his internal struggles and how his love for her influenced his actions throughout the series. It gives a more in - depth look at his character than what was shown in the original books.
In some fanfictions, Snape is indeed portrayed as Harry Potter's father. Fanfiction allows for creative reinterpretations of the original story, and this is one such interesting deviation from the canon where Snape's complex relationship with Harry takes on a whole new dimension.
Loki is a powerful Asgardian with abilities that are more in the realm of the supernatural in a different way than Harry's magic. But Harry has a strong will and has faced some extremely tough opponents. In a fanfiction, if the writer decides to give Harry access to some of the most powerful and ancient magic in the wizarding world, he could be more powerful. For example, if he could use the magic that created the Hogwarts itself, he might be able to stop Loki quite effectively. Also, Harry has the support of his friends and the entire wizarding community behind him, which could give him an edge in power.
