In some fanfictions, Snape kills Dumbledore as part of a greater plan. Maybe Dumbledore was already dying or had some sort of incurable dark magic on him, and Snape's act was a mercy killing. It could also be a complex plot twist where Snape is actually trying to protect the wizarding world from a greater threat that only he and Dumbledore knew about.
It changes Harry's view of Snape completely. Harry already had a very complex relationship with Snape, but this act would make him see Snape as an even greater enemy. He would be filled with rage and a thirst for revenge. Hermione and Ron would also be very affected. They would support Harry in his quest to avenge Dumbledore and would see Snape as a traitor to the wizarding world.
Yes, in the vast world of fanfiction, there could potentially be such a story. Fanfiction often takes creative liberties with the original characters and storylines. However, this would be a very dark and non - canonical take on the Harry Potter universe.
One common way is by giving Snape hope. Dumbledore could talk about the end of Voldemort's reign and how Snape's part in it is essential. For instance, he might say that Snape's knowledge and skills are the keys to victory. Another way is by showing trust. Dumbledore might entrust Snape with more important tasks or secrets, which makes Snape feel valued.
In many such fanfictions, Dumbledore might comfort Snape by reminding him of his good deeds. For example, he could say that Snape's role as a double agent is crucial for the greater good. Dumbledore might also offer a sympathetic ear, listening to Snape's inner turmoil about his past actions and his love for Lily. By validating Snape's feelings and his importance in the fight against Voldemort, Dumbledore provides comfort.
In the fanfiction, Snape could protect Harry from Dumbledore by using his skills in potions. For example, he might create a potion that hides Harry's magical signature from Dumbledore's detection. Or he could use his knowledge of the Dark Arts to counter any spells or charms that Dumbledore might use to keep tabs on Harry. Snape is very intelligent and resourceful, so he could find various ways to physically and magically shield Harry from Dumbledore.
I really like 'Snape and Dumbledore: A Hidden Alliance'. It presents a unique take on their relationship, exploring how they worked together behind the scenes to protect Hogwarts. It has some really interesting character interactions and a well - crafted plot.
It would be very difficult. However, if the writer were to explore some sort of dark magic corruption on Harry. For example, if he was somehow influenced by a powerful dark object or spell that made him lose his sense of self and morality. But still, it would be a huge stretch from the original concept of Harry's character.
One reason could be that Snape has his own complex sense of loyalty. He may feel that Dumbledore's plans for Harry are too dangerous or not in Harry's best interest in some ways. He has a long - standing relationship with Harry's mother, Lily, and perhaps through that connection, he wants to safeguard Harry from any harm that might come from Dumbledore's actions or decisions.
No, it is completely unethical. Professor Dumbledore is a respected character in the Harry Potter series. Writing such fanfiction involving inappropriate and immoral relationships violates the basic moral and ethical standards. It also goes against the positive image and values that the original work represents.
