    Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality (yes, that is a thing that actually exists) has a really vivid illustration to this.

    In that alternate universe, Harry is really smart and grew up with a normal, loving family, which leads to him “powering up” a lot faster compared to the original series. But throughout the book he still comments several times on how he can’t really rely on his parents or other adults listening to him because he’s still a 10 year old child, even though he’s in some areas more knowledgeable than them.

    It’s an exaggeration, of course, but it does capture part of reality
