Yes, there might be some fanfiction exploring the concept in a non - violent or inappropriate way. For example, it could be about Lockhart's overbearing or unfair treatment of Harry in a more comical or school - yard - bully - like sense rather than actual abuse. This would be suitable for a general audience.
There is no truth to it at all. The 'Harry Potter' world created by Rowling is mainly about magic, friendship, and the fight against evil. Fanfiction sometimes goes off on wild tangents, but this is an extremely inappropriate and baseless idea. Lockhart in the official story is a self - absorbed but not a sexually abusive character, and these fanfiction ideas are a distortion of the original concept.
You could start by looking on well - known fanfiction platforms like Archive of Our Own (AO3). It has a large collection of Harry Potter fanfiction and you can use the search function to look for stories related to Lockhart and Harry with the key word 'abuse' (but make sure to check the ratings and tags to ensure it's appropriate).
We should see it as an outlier in the fanfiction community. The 'Harry Potter' series is about so many positive things like magic, loyalty, and courage. This type of fanfiction that involves such inappropriate and unethical content is not in line with the values that most fans hold. It is a wrong - headed attempt to distort the characters and the story for some unknown and unacceptable reasons.
One great 'Harry Lockhart Fanfiction' is 'The Adventures of Harry Lockhart: A New Beginning'. It offers a fresh take on the character, exploring his backstory in more detail. The author really captures Harry's charm and his clumsy yet endearing nature.
One motivation could be Snape's sense of duty as a teacher. Despite his dislike for Harry in some ways, he still has an obligation to protect the students. So, when he sees Lockhart endangering Harry, he steps in.
Another possibility is that Snape uses his position as a teacher. He might threaten Lockhart with the consequences of harming a student. Given Snape's intimidating presence and his own power within the school, Lockhart would be afraid to cross him. Snape could also call for other teachers to help, making it clear that he won't let Lockhart get away with any harm to Harry.
One common theme is the exploration of gender - role reversal. Since Harry is female in these fics, it often shows how she navigates the wizarding world which was originally designed with male heroes in mind. Another theme is the relationship dynamic between her and Lockhart. It can range from a mentor - mentee relationship to a more romantic or adversarial one.
In many Harry Potter fanfictions about Gilderoy Lockhart and with a 'lemon' aspect, he could be seen as trying to steal the spotlight even in romantic or more adult - themed situations. Since he's so full of himself in the original books, fanfic authors might play on that. For example, he might be using his false tales of heroism to impress a love interest in a rather over - the - top and humorous way, while at the same time, the 'lemon' elements add a different layer to the story.
No. Rape is a very serious and disturbing topic. In the context of fanfiction, it goes against the positive and magical spirit of the Harry Potter series. Fanfiction should generally be about exploring positive aspects of the story, characters' growth, or alternative but non - offensive storylines.
