One possible role is as a plot device to create conflict. For instance, if a group of students gets lost in a part of the Hogwarts grounds where man - eating plants are, they have to find a way to escape. This can drive the story forward and show the characters' growth and problem - solving abilities.
In some fanfiction, man - eating plants might be guardians of a hidden or forbidden place. They are placed there by some ancient magic or a long - forgotten wizard. The heroes of the story have to either defeat the plants or find a way around them to reach the secrets that lie beyond. This gives a sense of mystery and adventure to the story.
