This is a very disturbing scenario. In the context of the Harry Potter universe which is generally about magic, friendship, and good vs. evil, such a concept goes completely against the spirit of the original work. Snape would likely be extremely horrified and disgusted, given his complex relationship with Harry. He might see it as a desecration of the students and the world he knows.
A possible plot development could be that Snape, out of guilt and a sense of responsibility, decides to mentor Harry more closely. He could introduce Harry to some powerful magical artifacts or spells that could help Harry regain his confidence. Meanwhile, Harry might start to see Snape in a new light, and their relationship could evolve into a more trusting and deep - rooted bond, leading to many more twists and turns in the story as they face other challenges together.
There could be serious consequences. Since Harry Potter has a large and diverse fanbase, including many young fans. Discovering such a disturbing fanfiction could lead to a negative impact on the overall image of the fandom. Some fans may feel that it violates the spirit of the original story, which is mainly about friendship, courage, and the fight against evil, not non - consensual and disturbing relationships.
The fan community can respond by reporting it. Most fanfiction platforms have rules against non - consensual and disturbing content. By reporting, they can ensure that such content is removed and not accessible to others, especially younger fans.
Bill has several options. He can create a blog post or a vlog (if he's comfortable with that) about his discovery and how it goes against the values of the fan community. He can also approach the more influential members of the fan community and ask them to support his cause in condemning this kind of fanfiction. Additionally, he can participate in fan forums and use his discovery as an example to promote a code of ethics for fanfiction writing within the community.
There is no such official or acceptable plot in the Harry Potter series. The Harry Potter world is about magic, friendship, and good vs. evil. Fan fiction should also abide by ethical and non - offensive standards, and the idea of such a thing is a completely untrue and inappropriate perversion of the original concept.
In a romance fan fiction, Harry's revelation of being raped is a significant plot development. It can bring to light many complex issues. It could explore themes like trauma, recovery, and the impact on future relationships. The fan fiction author might be using this to create a more in - depth character study. However, it also runs the risk of alienating some readers who come to romance fan fiction for lighter, more positive storylines. It may also raise questions about the responsibility of fan fiction writers in dealing with such sensitive topics, especially when they are writing within an established fictional universe.
I don't encourage or support fanfictions with such disturbing themes as rape. Harry Potter is a well - loved series mainly for its themes of friendship, courage, and magic. There are many positive and healthy fanfictions out there that focus on other aspects of the characters' relationships, like friendship between Snape and Harry, or Snape's complex role in the wizarding world.
One consequence could be that Bill feels a strong sense of protectiveness towards Harry. He might immediately try to comfort Harry and ensure his safety. For example, he could offer to let Harry stay with him where he can keep an eye on him.
