Well, a frequent theme is the breaking of barriers. In the original Harry Potter series, Snape and Harry had a lot of animosity. Fanfictions with this concept often focus on how they break those barriers and come to have a relationship. Also, self - discovery is a theme. Harry might discover new sides of himself, and Snape might face his own demons as they get closer. And sometimes, there's the theme of alternate universes where the rules of the original story are bent to allow this relationship to develop.
The theme of acceptance also runs through a lot of these fanfictions. Harry has had his own struggles with being an orphan and the Boy Who Lived. The Hufflepuff in the story often accepts him for who he is without the added pressure of his fame. And in turn, Harry accepts the Hufflepuff's unique traits that might not be as celebrated in the wizarding world as Gryffindor traits, like their quiet determination and love for all things homey and comfortable at Hogwarts.
Another theme is self - discovery. When Harry (or the other main character) dates a Slytherin, they often learn new things about themselves. They might realize that they had misjudged Slytherins all along and this makes them re - evaluate their own beliefs and values. It's like a journey of personal growth for both characters involved.
The theme of hidden motives also frequently appears. Snape's actions are often shrouded in mystery in the original story, and fanfictions expand on this. They explore what his real intentions are when he interacts with Harry, whether it's out of loyalty to Dumbledore, his own sense of justice, or something else entirely.
One common theme is redemption. For example, Draco often has a journey of redemption where he moves away from his family's dark past with the influence of Harry and Snape. Another theme is the exploration of complex relationships. They are characters who have had a lot of animosity in the original story, so in fanfiction, seeing how they navigate new relationships with each other is very interesting.

Well, a common theme is the breaking of boundaries. In the original story, Harry and Snape have a rather tense relationship. But in these fanfictions, the flirting breaks that mold. There's also the theme of self - discovery. Harry might be exploring his own feelings and desires through flirting with Snape, and Snape could be re - evaluating his view of Harry and himself. Additionally, the theme of forbidden love often pops up, as such a relationship would be considered taboo in the Hogwarts setting.
In 'female Harry and Snape fanfiction', a prevalent theme is the alteration of the mentor - mentee relationship. The female Harry might approach Snape as a mentor in a distinct manner compared to the male Harry. Another theme is the exploration of family and its absence. Snape's family history and Harry's lack of a proper family can be intertwined in new ways when Harry is female. Moreover, the theme of magic and its connection to their relationship is often explored. For instance, how a female Harry's magic might interact differently with Snape's knowledge and skills.
