If everyone found out about Harry's past in fanfiction, there would be a mix of reactions. Some people would probably pity him more, knowing the hardships he had faced before. But others, especially those who were jealous of his fame, might spread rumors or distort the facts. This could also have an impact on how the wizarding community views Dumbledore, as he had been a big part of Harry's past and his decisions related to it.
The wizarding world would be in an uproar. Some would be sympathetic towards Harry, understanding the struggles he had endured. Others might be judgmental, especially those who come from pure - blood families and have different values.
One possible consequence is that Harry might face a lot of unwanted attention. People in the fan fiction world could start treating him differently, perhaps with too much pity or excessive curiosity. His privacy would be invaded, and he might feel pressured to conform to the expectations that others now have of him based on what they've learned from the fan fiction.
His life changes significantly. Firstly, he no longer has to hide the abuse. He can be more open about his feelings and experiences. This could lead to him getting the help he needs, like emotional support from his friends.
Harry's reaction would be complex. He has so many emotions tied up with Snape already - dislike, confusion, and a bit of grudging respect in some ways. Discovering he's his father would bring all those emotions to the surface and more. He might go through a period of denial, not wanting to believe it at first. Then, as the truth sank in, he'd have to come to terms with a new family member. He might also feel a sense of betrayal from those who knew or suspected but didn't tell him. And he'd have to figure out how to fit this new relationship into his life, especially considering his role in the wizarding world and his ongoing battles.
The other students could have a range of reactions. Some might be sympathetic and try to befriend Harry more. Others might be afraid, especially if the abuser is still around. But overall, it would create a stir in the wizarding community, and there would be a general outpouring of concern for Harry's well - being.
Well, if everyone found out Harry was Snape's son, it would completely shatter the existing relationships. For one, Harry's relationship with the Dursleys might be even more strained as they already dislike him, and this new revelation could make them feel even more threatened. His relationship with Ron and Hermione would also be tested. They might be confused and even a bit betrayed at first. Hermione, being the logical one, would probably try to find out how this could be possible. Ron, on the other hand, might have a more emotional reaction. And as for Snape himself, his whole attitude towards Harry would have to change drastically. He couldn't keep up the pretense of hating Harry when it turns out he's his son. It would also change the way the wizarding world views Harry. Some might be more sympathetic, while others might be suspicious of Snape's motives all along.
One of the most interesting aspects in this type of fanfiction is seeing Harry's initial shock. He has grown up in a non - magical world, so suddenly realizing he's a wizard would be overwhelming. He might first doubt it, thinking it's some kind of joke or mistake. But as the story unfolds, he starts to see the evidence around him, like strange things happening that can't be explained by Muggle means.
In this kind of fanfiction, there could be a lot of shock and disbelief among the characters at first. His friends might feel guilty for not noticing the signs earlier. They would probably become extremely protective of Percy.
In such a fan fiction, there would likely be a great deal of shock among the characters. Harry's friends might feel betrayed or confused at first. Dumbledore would probably have to re - evaluate his plans regarding Harry. And Snape himself would have a whole new set of responsibilities and emotions to deal with, having his relationship with Harry out in the open.
