No. In the official series, Dumbledore is a mentor figure to Harry Potter. He guides and protects Harry throughout his journey at Hogwarts. He has his own plans and strategies to help Harry defeat Voldemort, which might seem mysterious at times but are not abusive in nature.
Some people might write it to explore a darker, more alternative take on the characters. They could be interested in seeing how the story would change if Dumbledore had a more sinister side. It's a way to break the established perception of the characters.
In most official Harry Potter works, Dumbledore is a guiding and protective figure for Harry. However, in some fanfictions, authors might explore dark or alternative interpretations. But these are not based on the original intended relationship. Fanfiction often takes creative liberties, but it doesn't mean it reflects the real essence of the characters as J.K. Rowling created them.
Well, in certain Harry Potter fanfiction, Dumbledore can come across as insane. It really depends on the writer's interpretation and the direction they want to take the story. Some might do it for shock value, to create a more edgy or different take on the well - known character. However, the canonical Dumbledore was a highly intelligent and calculating figure, not insane.
Well, Harry might outsmart Dumbledore by using his unique understanding of the magical world in ways Dumbledore doesn't expect. For example, Harry has a more direct experience with some dark magic items due to his encounters with Voldemort. He could use this knowledge to make decisions that seem counter - intuitive to Dumbledore but are actually more effective in a particular situation.
He might give Harry detention. Harry could be made to clean the trophies in the trophy room or help Hagrid with some difficult tasks in the Forbidden Forest under strict supervision.
One possible reason could be that Harry breaks school rules in the fanfiction. For example, if he ventures into the Forbidden Forest without permission. Dumbledore is strict about the safety of students and such disobedience might lead to punishment.
Well, it might be a fanfic where a new dark wizard emerges with a unique power to manipulate memories, and they target Dumbledore's memories of Harry Potter. Or it could be a story where Dumbledore gets caught in a complex web of magical experiments gone awry, leading to this memory loss.
In a fanfiction, Dumbledore might steal out of desperation. Suppose there was a situation where a curse was about to be unleashed on Hogwarts, and the only way to stop it was by stealing a particular ingredient for an antidote from a place where it was not supposed to be taken. Dumbledore, seeing no other option, decides to steal it. His motive here is to save the school and its students, even if it means breaking the rules.
Hermione could be a main character. She might use her vast knowledge to help Harry and Dumbledore in their adventures. For example, she could research ancient spells or potions that are crucial for their mission.
