Maybe it's a group of Hogwarts' own staff members. They could be jealous of Snape's influence or knowledge. They might fabricate evidence against him to get him removed. For example, some teachers who have always disagreed with his teaching style or his past associations.
In some fanfictions, it could be a powerful wizard or witch from outside Hogwarts who has a vendetta against Snape. They use their influence to pressure the school into removing him. This could be someone who was once on the wrong side of Snape's actions in the past and now sees an opportunity for revenge.
A plotline might involve Snape being removed unjustly. His allies or some students who knew his true nature might try to fight for his reinstatement. There could also be a story where Snape's removal causes a power vacuum in Hogwarts, and different factions start vying for control of certain aspects of the school. It could also lead to a discovery of secrets that Snape was protecting while he was at Hogwarts.
It could be the students. They might think Snape is too gloomy and old - fashioned in his appearance. So, as a bit of mischief or maybe out of kindness, they use their magic skills to give him a makeover. For example, Harry Potter and his friends could be behind it, using spells they learned in their Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Perhaps an old enemy from Snape's past, someone who has a long - standing grudge against him. This person could have tracked him down to the Shrieking Shack and finally got their revenge. It could be someone related to his days as a Death Eater or even from his school days when he might have made some enemies.
Yes, he is. Fanfiction often delves deeper into the idea of Severus Snape's connection to Hogwarts. Since he dedicated his life to the school in different ways in the original story, fanfic creators expand on this. They might write about him being magically bound to Hogwarts, where he can't stray too far from the castle grounds. This could be because of a spell he cast himself, or as a result of some ancient magic related to his role at the school.
A really good one is 'Snape's Legacy and Hermione's Quest'. After Hogwarts, Hermione stumbles upon a mystery related to Snape's past. She is on a journey to clear his name as she discovers that there were many things about Snape that the wizarding world never knew. The fanfiction has Hermione using her intelligence and Snape's old notes to piece together the truth. It's a story that gives Snape more depth and shows Hermione's determination to uncover the truth, even when it seems everyone else has moved on from Snape's story.
In some darker fanfictions, it could be a member of the Order who has always suspected Snape of being a double agent. This person might have decided to take matters into their own hands and attack Snape during the meeting, believing they are protecting the Order from a potential threat.
Another interesting one is 'Hermione's Encounter with the Past'. Here, Hermione finds a magical object that allows her to communicate with a memory of Snape. They have conversations about the past, the war, and the choices they made. It's a very emotional and thought - provoking interaction as Hermione gets to see Snape from a different perspective and Snape gets to see the impact of his actions on someone like Hermione.
Yes, there might be such fanfictions. In the vast world of Hogwarts fanfiction, various scenarios are explored. However, the nature of the 'punishment' can vary greatly from one fanfic to another. It could be related to Draco's misbehavior in the context of Hogwarts' rules, like getting detention or losing house points. Some fanfictions might focus on character development through these interactions between Snape and Draco.
One possible reason could be that he feels he has fulfilled his purpose there. Maybe he has achieved certain goals related to protecting Harry Potter secretly, and he decides it's time to move on to other things. For example, in some fanfictions, he might leave to explore his own family history or to further his research on the Dark Arts in a more secluded place.
There's also the possibility that it was an accident. Fanfiction often plays with the idea of magical accidents. Maybe a spell misfired during a demonstration or a fight that broke out among the Death Eaters that Snape got caught in the middle of, and as a result, he got injured.
