Is Dudley jealous of Harry in fanfiction? What are some examples?

Yes, there are quite a few. One popular one might show Dudley seething as he sees Harry and Ginny's relationship grow. He could be jealous because Harry has always been in the spotlight in a way, and now he has a loving relationship too. It makes Dudley feel even more left out.

The theme of envy is also very prominent. Dudley envies Harry's connection with Ginny, which is often portrayed as deep and loving. He may also envy the magical world that Harry and Ginny are part of, which adds another layer to his jealousy. Another common aspect is Dudley's struggle to come to terms with his own feelings, as he's not used to feeling so envious.

One example could be a story where Harry excels in potions under a new teacher, and Severus gets jealous of the attention Harry gives to this new mentor. Another might be a scenario where Harry starts spending a lot of time with a fellow Gryffindor who has a special talent in Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Severus can't stand seeing Harry so interested in someone else's knowledge. There could also be a fanfic where Harry shows off his Quidditch skills to a visiting team's coach, and Severus, who secretly admires Harry's athleticism, gets jealous.

Well, in some fanfictions, Raven's jealousy could be triggered by someone flirting with the person she has feelings for. For instance, if it's a story set in a high school AU, and there's a popular student who starts flirting with her crush. Raven would then show signs of jealousy like glaring at the person, or trying to get in between their conversations. There could also be a situation where Raven is jealous of another character's powers. Maybe in a superhero - themed fanfic, another hero has a really flashy power and is getting all the media attention, making Raven jealous as she feels her own powers are being overlooked.

In this fanfiction, they might start to become more like friends. Since Harry is helping Dudley eat better, there's a sense of care and concern that could be building a new bond between them.

It could be that Dudley has his own reasons to oppose the dark forces that are after Harry. He might see that if Harry fails, it could also mean trouble for him and his family. So, he decides to train Harry to fight as a way of self - preservation as well as helping Harry. Another reason could be that Dudley has grown to respect Harry over time and wants to contribute to Harry's ability to defend himself against the many threats he faces.

There could also be a plotline where they both struggle with the idea of being brothers. At first, they might be in denial, but as time goes on, they realize that they can be there for each other. For instance, Dudley could help Harry deal with the pressures of the wizarding world by providing a different perspective, and Harry could introduce Dudley to a world of wonder and magic.

In some fanfictions, Dudley could be the main character in an alternate universe. For example, what if Dudley was the one who received the Hogwarts letter instead of Harry? This would completely change the dynamics of the story, with Dudley having to navigate the wizarding world with his own set of values and prejudices.

Well, in the realm of Harry Dudley slash fanfiction, 'A Different Path' is quite well - known. It starts from the premise that Dudley has a change of heart towards Harry much earlier in the story. This alteration in their relationship then sets off a chain of events that are very different from the original series. There are also some that focus on their shared experiences in a more magical context, like 'Magical Bonds between Harry and Dudley' which imagines how they might interact if Dudley had some latent magical abilities.

Well, a common theme is the exploration of Dudley's character growth. In fanfiction, he may start to embrace the magic around Harry instead of fearing or hating it. This can lead to a friendship as he becomes more accepting. Another theme is the power of forgiveness. Harry forgiving Dudley for all the years of bullying, and Dudley being grateful for that forgiveness. And then there's the theme of learning from each other. Dudley teaching Harry about the non - magical world and Harry introducing Dudley to the wonders of magic.
