Some stories justify it through a redemption arc for Snape. In the original series, Snape has a dark and brooding personality. But in fanfiction, writers may show how Hermione's presence and her belief in the good in people help Snape to become a better person. This transformation can lead to a romantic relationship. Also, the fact that they are both outsiders in some ways - Hermione as a Muggle - born and Snape as a half - blood in a sometimes prejudiced wizarding world, can bring them closer.
Writers often justify their relationship by highlighting their common traits. For example, both are highly intelligent. Hermione is known for her academic prowess and Snape is a master of potions and dark arts knowledge. This shared intelligence can be a basis for mutual attraction. They also both have a sense of loyalty, though it shows in different ways. Hermione to her friends and Snape in his own complex way to Dumbledore and Hogwarts.
Another way is by exploring their unfulfilled needs. Hermione is constantly seeking more knowledge and understanding, and Snape has a depth of knowledge that she craves. Snape, on the other hand, has been alone for a long time, with his love for Lily Potter unrequited. Hermione's presence can fill that void in his life. Writers use these emotional and psychological aspects to make their relationship seem more plausible in fanfiction.
