Well, Snape has always had a complex relationship with Harry. When he finds Harry cutting himself in this fanfiction, he might be angry at first, thinking it's a sign of weakness. But then, as he realizes the depth of Harry's pain, he could soften. He might start to see Harry more as a troubled child rather than just James Potter's son. Snape could use his knowledge of potions to create something to heal the physical wounds and also try to offer some form of emotional support, albeit in his own gruff way.
In the fanfiction world, if Snape finds Harry cutting, he might be initially shocked and angry. He could see it as a sign of Harry's inner turmoil. Snape, despite his complex relationship with Harry, might feel a sense of responsibility. He might immediately take steps to stop Harry from further harming himself, perhaps using his magic to heal the cuts. And then he would likely question Harry about why he was doing such a thing, trying to get to the root of the problem.
Snape's view of Harry would likely become more complex. He might see Harry as more vulnerable than he previously thought. His initial disdain might turn into a sort of begrudging concern. He would realize that Harry is dealing with deeper issues than just being the 'Boy Who Lived'.
One possible reason could be his self - loathing. He has a complex past and has made many difficult choices. In fanfiction, the authors might explore his inner turmoil through self - harm as a way of expressing his pain. He may feel that he doesn't deserve any better because of his actions and mistakes.
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.
In a scenario where Draco finds Harry cutting fanfiction, it could potentially change the dynamic between them. Fanfiction often involves a lot of creativity and personal investment from the writer or editor (in this case, Harry). Draco might not understand this at first. But if he takes a moment to think about it, he could realize that Harry has a passion for this fictional world in a different way. It could be a moment of growth for Draco, where he starts to see Harry not just as an enemy but as a person with diverse interests. Or, it could go the other way and just be another source of conflict between them, with Draco making fun of Harry's hobby and Harry getting defensive.
In many fanfictions, Snape's sacrifice for Harry is often explored in great emotional depth. One common aspect is how his love for Lily Potter extended to protecting Harry. His self - sacrifice is shown as a redemptive act, finally revealing his true nature to Harry, which was full of love and loyalty all along.
It is inappropriate because the Harry Potter series is a source of inspiration for many, especially young readers. Depicting a main character like Harry in such a self - destructive act can have a bad influence on those who look up to him. Also, self - harm is a very personal and often traumatic topic that doesn't belong in a fictional world that is supposed to be a form of escapism. The Harry Potter world is about magic and adventure, not self - harm.
