Well, in fanfiction, Snape's underestimation of Hermione could stem from his past experiences with Gryffindors who he thought were all about bravado and not intelligence. But Hermione is different. When he underestimates her, it usually sets up a situation where she can shine. It can be a catalyst for her to show off her vast knowledge and quick thinking. This not only makes Hermione a more likable and relatable character but also shows the readers that first impressions, like Snape's of Hermione, can be very wrong.
Snape underestimates Hermione in fanfiction perhaps due to his own biases. He is a Slytherin and she is a Gryffindor, and he has a rather harsh view of Gryffindors in general. This underestimation can create interesting plot twists. Hermione, being the brilliant witch she is, uses his underestimation to her advantage, like when she outsmarts him in potions or magic theory, which makes for engaging reading.
