i can fully see ootp!harry getting fed up at everyone because they never came to check up on him and basically left him to deal with his struggles by himself.

no but same! teens are so, so angsty and self-righteous and harry has even more reason than most to be so. i can see, in a non-canon universe, him blowing up & changing things because he hates how things are going. i’m also a huge fan of like, characters being ~mature for their age so those elements will also bleed into it lol. harry ignoring the well meaning but stupid adults, walking away from dumbledore, insulting snape right back bc he can’t give a fuck anymore, alternating between the silent treatment & a patronising surface level friendship w ron & hermione to give them a taste of what it was like for him etc etc.
