Well, it could also be due to the way the fanfiction author wants to explore different relationship dynamics. Maybe they see Harry as having a natural instinct to safeguard Hermione as she is often the brains behind their plans. In many fanfictions, the author might be emphasizing the loyalty and closeness of their bond, which is manifested as overprotectiveness. Harry may have witnessed Hermione in distress during some made - up scenarios in the fanfiction, which makes him extra cautious and protective.
In some fanfictions, Harry might be overprotective of Hermione because of their strong friendship. They've been through so many dangerous situations together in the original story. Harry values Hermione deeply and has seen how vulnerable she can be at times, so he feels the need to protect her.
Another reason could be related to the development of their characters in the fanfiction world. If the fanfiction is set in a darker or more dangerous version of the wizarding world, Harry's overprotectiveness of Hermione could be a way to show his growth as a character. He might have learned from past experiences that Hermione is a precious asset, not just to him but to the whole wizarding community they are part of. He doesn't want to lose her, so he becomes overprotective. Also, some fanfiction authors like to play with the idea of unspoken feelings between them, and overprotectiveness can be a sign of those deeper, unacknowledged emotions.
