Well, it would definitely shock a lot of students. The Gryffindors might be confused at first, seeing Harry be friendly with Snape, who has always been so hard on them. The Slytherins might also be taken aback as Snape has always seemed to favor his own house. But over time, it could lead to more unity in the school. With Harry and Snape being friends, students might be more likely to cross house boundaries and interact more positively.
One possible plotline could be that Harry discovers Snape's past and the reasons behind his harsh behavior. For example, Harry might find out about Snape's love for his mother. This new understanding could lead to an initial truce between them. They could start by working together on a difficult potion in the classroom, with Harry being more patient and Snape being less critical. As time passes, they might find themselves sharing their thoughts about the wizarding world's future and realizing they have more in common than they thought.
Sure. Fanfiction often takes existing characters and gives them new storylines. Maybe in some fanfictions, a situation arises where Harry and Snape have to work together towards a common goal, like saving Hogwarts from a new dark threat. Through this shared experience, they could come to respect and like each other, thus becoming friends.
Yes, there are some fanfics with such wild and out - of - canon concepts in the Harry Potter fanfiction community. However, these often deviate greatly from the original storyline and themes of the official series.
In some fanfics, Snape might punish Harry because of his perceived insolence in class. Harry has a rebellious streak, and Snape, being strict, wouldn't tolerate any behavior that he deems disrespectful to his authority as a teacher.
Perhaps it's related to Harry's association with his father, James Potter. Snape had a long - standing grudge against James, and seeing Harry might bring back those bitter memories. So, whenever Harry does something that reminds Snape of James, like being overly confident or a bit of a troublemaker, he yells at him.
In some fanfics, Snape might hurt Harry out of his long - held grudges. Snape was in love with Harry's mother, Lily, and Harry being a reminder of James, who bullied Snape in school, could trigger his negative emotions. Also, Snape's loyalty to Voldemort in the earlier days in some fan - created scenarios might lead him to target Harry, who was seen as a threat to Voldemort's plans.
The relationship can be developed by having Snape protect Harry in unexpected ways. Maybe in a fanfic, there's a plot where some dark wizards are after Harry. Snape, secretly, uses his skills to keep Harry safe. Later, when Harry discovers this, Snape has to explain his actions. This explanation can be a turning point where they start to trust each other more. Snape can then start to offer words of comfort based on his understanding of Harry's situation. They could also start to work together on some small tasks, like researching a new potion that might help Harry in his fight against the dark side, which further cements their relationship.
His relationships would likely change a great deal. Some friends might be more protective of him now that he's a girl. Others might have a hard time seeing him as the same Harry. The boys who used to just roughhouse with him might be more hesitant. And Harry himself would have to navigate new social dynamics, like how the girls at Hogwarts interact with each other. It's a big shift for all involved.
Well, in some fanfics, Snape's role in the wizarding world politics or his secret allegiances could be a factor. Harry might be aware that Snape has connections to different factions, and he doesn't fully understand where Snape's loyalties lie. This uncertainty can create fear. Also, Snape's teaching style, which can be quite intense and unforgiving, might make Harry feel constantly on edge around him.
