Fanfiction often creates alternate scenarios. It could be that Dumbledore has a hidden agenda that Harry uncovers, which goes against Harry's sense of right and wrong. Maybe Dumbledore is trying to sacrifice Harry in a way that Harry doesn't agree with, leading to their opposition. This can be a very creative way to rewrite the dynamics between the two characters.
One reason could be a misunderstanding. Maybe Harry discovers some actions of Dumbledore that seem wrong at first glance, like the way he's been handling secrets about Harry's past or Hogwarts' safety. For example, Dumbledore's decision to keep Harry in the dark about certain prophecies might make Harry feel betrayed and lead to a conflict.
One possible reason could be a difference in ideology. Maybe Harry starts to question Dumbledore's decisions regarding the war against Voldemort. For example, Dumbledore's secrecy about certain things might make Harry feel left out and manipulated. Another reason could be personal pride. Harry has grown into a powerful wizard and may not want to be under Dumbledore's constant guidance and control any longer. He might think he can handle things on his own better. Also, it could be due to the influence of other characters. If some new friends or allies have different views on Dumbledore, they could sway Harry's opinion.
The change in the storyline would be multi - faceted. Emotionally, Harry would be on a different journey. He would be dealing with feelings of betrayal (if he believes Dumbledore has wronged him) and determination to prove himself right. In terms of the plot, the search for Horcruxes might take a different turn. Harry might not follow Dumbledore's clues as closely. He could end up finding Horcruxes in different ways or even missing some if he doesn't have Dumbledore's wisdom. And the final confrontation with Voldemort would be more unpredictable. Harry's rebellion could lead to a more evenly matched battle as he might not have all the advantages that Dumbledore's guidance would have provided.
There are indeed. Fanfiction often takes the existing characters and relationships and turns them on their heads. In this case, Snape helping Harry against Dumbledore could be a result of Snape's long - held grudges against Dumbledore's actions or decisions. It's a creative way to explore the gray areas of these beloved characters.
Well, in certain Harry Potter fanfiction, Dumbledore can come across as insane. It really depends on the writer's interpretation and the direction they want to take the story. Some might do it for shock value, to create a more edgy or different take on the well - known character. However, the canonical Dumbledore was a highly intelligent and calculating figure, not insane.
Well, Harry might outsmart Dumbledore by using his unique understanding of the magical world in ways Dumbledore doesn't expect. For example, Harry has a more direct experience with some dark magic items due to his encounters with Voldemort. He could use this knowledge to make decisions that seem counter - intuitive to Dumbledore but are actually more effective in a particular situation.
He might give Harry detention. Harry could be made to clean the trophies in the trophy room or help Hagrid with some difficult tasks in the Forbidden Forest under strict supervision.
One possible reason could be that Harry breaks school rules in the fanfiction. For example, if he ventures into the Forbidden Forest without permission. Dumbledore is strict about the safety of students and such disobedience might lead to punishment.
Well, it might be a fanfic where a new dark wizard emerges with a unique power to manipulate memories, and they target Dumbledore's memories of Harry Potter. Or it could be a story where Dumbledore gets caught in a complex web of magical experiments gone awry, leading to this memory loss.
