Maybe he has been betrayed too many times in the past. For example, in the original story, some so - called friends or allies might have let him down, and this experience makes him overly cautious in the fanfiction.
His lack of trust would surely strain his friendships. His friends might feel hurt and rejected by his constant suspicion. For example, Hermione, who has always been loyal to him, might be deeply disappointed if Harry doesn't trust her.
One possible reason could be his past experiences. Maybe he has been betrayed before in the wizarding world. For example, if he had been let down by so - called friends or allies who turned out to have ulterior motives. Another factor might be the general atmosphere of secrecy and intrigue in the magical community. Everyone seems to be hiding something, and Harry, being constantly in the middle of dangerous situations, has learned to be cautious and not trust easily.
In some fanfictions, yes. Writers often explore the complex relationship between Harry and Snape. They might create scenarios where Harry discovers Snape's true loyalties and motives earlier than in the original books, leading to a new level of trust.
One possible reason could be past betrayals. Maybe he was let down by his friends or family in the fanfiction's storyline. For example, if someone he trusted shared his secrets with the wrong people, it would make him hesitant to trust anyone again.
Well, it could be that in those fanfictions, the writer is exploring an alternate universe concept. They might rewrite the Weasleys' characters to be more self - centered or having hidden motives that Harry discovers over time. But this goes against the general perception of the Weasleys in the official Harry Potter series where they are loving and trustworthy.
One reason could be that Harry sees Snape's Patronus, which is the same as his mother's. This could be a strong indication of Snape's true feelings and make Harry trust him.
In the fanfiction, Harry's lack of trust could lead to a lot of misunderstandings. His friends may misinterpret his caution as a lack of care for them. It could also isolate him. People might start to avoid him if they feel he is always doubting them. This isolation could then further fuel his lack of trust as he has fewer positive interactions with others, creating a downward spiral in his relationships.
His relationships would become very strained. Friends might feel hurt that he doesn't trust them, which could lead to arguments and distance. For instance, Hermione might be constantly trying to prove herself to him, but he still remains skeptical.
It could strain his relationships with some pure - blood wizards who are prejudiced against goblins. They might see Harry's trust as a betrayal of wizarding traditions.
