In a fanfiction where Snape never went to Hogwarts, he could be apprenticed to a powerful but reclusive wizard. Under this wizard's tutelage, he delves deep into the study of ancient magic that has been long forgotten in the mainstream magical education of Hogwarts. His personality might be less bitter as he doesn't have to endure the bullying he faced at Hogwarts. His loyalty and values could be shaped by his new mentor, leading him on a completely different path in the wizarding world.
One possibility could be that Snape grows up in a different magical environment, perhaps in a small, hidden magical community that has its own unique way of teaching magic. He might develop his skills in potion - making and the Dark Arts in a more self - taught or community - guided way. Without the influence of Hogwarts, his relationships would be very different. He may not have the same intense rivalries or unrequited love for Lily Potter.
Maybe he travels the wizarding world instead. He could encounter different magical creatures and learn their secrets, which would give him a different kind of knowledge compared to what he would have gained at Hogwarts. He might become a sort of magical nomad, collecting rare ingredients for potions from all over and developing his own brand of magic that is more worldly and less influenced by the traditional Hogwarts curriculum.
