In the 'Hermione treats Harry badly' fanfiction, what could be the possible reasons for her behavior?

One possible reason could be that Voldemort sees Harry as a symbol of innocence that he wants to corrupt. Just like how he enjoys toying with his enemies, treating Harry like a baby might be a way to belittle him and make him more vulnerable in his eyes.

One reason could be jealousy. Maybe Hermione is getting more attention in school for her academic achievements, and Harry, feeling overshadowed, acts mean. For example, in some fanfictions, he might make snide remarks about her always having her nose in a book.

Perhaps Draco has developed some sort of complex feelings towards Harry. He could be secretly attracted to Harry and treating him like a baby is a way to get closer to him without admitting his true feelings. Or it could be that Draco has changed as a person and now views Harry as someone who needs his support and guidance, just like one would for a baby.

It could be that she sees the pain she caused Harry and it makes her feel guilty. In the story, perhaps she was influenced by others' opinions of Harry and didn't trust her own long - standing friendship with him. When she finally comes to her senses, she regrets all the hurtful things she said or did.

The relationship between all three could become more complex. Hermione's bad treatment of Harry might make Ron more protective of Harry, causing a rift between Hermione and Ron as well. In the original series, they are a tight - knit trio, but in this fanfiction, the balance is thrown off. For example, they might not be as effective in fighting against the dark forces or solving mysteries together because of the tension.

One possible reason could be that Hermione realizes she has feelings for Ron and wants to avoid any confusion or mixed signals with Harry. She might think that by pushing Harry away, she can focus on her true feelings for Ron.

One possible reason could be her involvement in the wizarding world. If her parents are muggles and they find out about the extreme dangers she faces in the magical realm, they might disown her out of fear for her safety. Another reason could be if she starts to show more loyalty to the wizarding community than to her muggle family, making them feel like she no longer belongs with them.

In fanfiction, she could be injured during a battle against dark wizards. Maybe she was caught off - guard while trying to protect her friends.

One reason could be his status as the Boy Who Lived. In the original story, Harry has this special aura about him, and in fanfiction, Hermione might be drawn to that in an obsessive way. Also, his bravery and leadership qualities could be factors that make Hermione overly interested in him.

One possible reason could be that he's been influenced by some dark magic or a spell that makes him act out of character. Another reason might be extreme jealousy, say if Hermione is getting more recognition in the wizarding world than him for some time and he lashes out in a moment of weakness.
