Definitely. There are fanfictions that center around their bond in the context of the wizarding world's events. For example, how Snape's actions were influenced by his love for Lily during the First Wizarding War. These fanfictions often provide a more in - depth look at their relationship in the broader magical community, rather than focusing on inappropriate or adult - themed scenarios.
It would strain their relationship even more. Snape's love for Lily was already on shaky ground due to their different paths. Seeing her with James would make him feel like she has completely chosen the other side, and he might start to resent her a bit.
In the original setting of Harry Potter, Lily married James Potter, but not Snape. However, if Snape were to marry Lily, the whole story would change dramatically. For one thing, Snape's personality might have become much milder. His love for Lily was deep and persistent. If Lily became his wife, the loneliness and indifference in his heart might be resolved by love. When Voldemort first rose and threatened Lily's life, Snape might not need to protect her as a spy, because he could directly protect Lily under his wings. For Harry Potter, his upbringing would be very different. He would probably have grown up in a family full of Potionology knowledge, because Snape was an expert. Moreover, Harry might receive a more direct magical education from Snape, and his magical abilities might develop further in different directions. Things would change at Hogwarts. Snape might not become Harry's "troublemaker" at school, and the relationship between Slytherin and Gryffindor within the school might be eased by Snape and Lily's union. Questions such as the Wizarding world's attitude towards the offspring of Muggle-born wizards (Lily was Muggle-born) and half-bloods (Snape was half-blood) would also become new story elements. However, this was only an imagination based on a hypothesis, which was very different from the original story. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was not enough.

The Snape hurts Lily fanfictions can be quite a departure from the traditional view of their relationship. It could be that the writer wants to explore the what - ifs. What if Snape's dark side overcame his love for Lily? His hurtful actions towards her could then be used as a device to show the growth or downfall of his character. For example, it might lead to his ultimate redemption or his complete fall into darkness, all while Lily is at the center of this complex dynamic.
In many Lily - Snape fanfictions where Lily hurts Snape, it often explores the unrequited love aspect. Snape's deep love for Lily was not fully reciprocated, and sometimes Lily's actions, whether intentional or not, can wound him. For example, her friendship with James Potter might have been seen as a betrayal by Snape in some interpretations.
Often, fanfiction will explore the idea of Lily having a deeper understanding of Snape's actions and motives. This can lead to a relationship where she is more forgiving and empathetic towards him. For instance, in some stories, when Snape is bullied, Lily steps in more actively to defend him, which changes the dynamic of their relationship. In other cases, the relationship might be reimagined in a romantic way that was only hinted at in the original. There could be a scenario where they actually start a relationship during their Hogwarts years, which would completely change the course of their individual lives and how they interact with other characters like James Potter.
Well, it's a tragic love story. Snape's love for Lily was so pure yet unfulfilled. In the original story, it adds a layer of complexity to his character. Fanfiction writers are drawn to explore this relationship further, to give it a different ending or more depth.
If Snape married Lily, it would be a completely different story. Judging from their personalities and values, Lily was kind, brave, righteous, and anti-bullying. She was against black magic. Snape, on the other hand, had gone to the Dark Arts due to his own experiences as a student. Although he loved Lily deeply, this internal difference in values was a potential contradiction. If they were to marry, Snape might need to make a huge change and abandon the ideas and behaviors related to Dark Magic before he could live in harmony with Lily. In terms of social relations, Snape had a bad relationship with James and others during his student days. James was the representative of Gryffindor, and he had a deep friendship with Lily and eventually won her heart. If Snape married Lily, his relationship with James would become extremely complicated, and it might lead to greater conflict between Gryffindor and Slytherin or require more reconciliation. In the background of Voldemort's rise, James and Lily stood against Voldemort's camp, and Snape mistakenly entered the Death Eater camp and became a double agent. If Snape married Lily, he might be more directly on the side of fighting against Voldemort because of Lily's influence, which might change the direction of the war against Voldemort. For example, the Death Eaters camp might expose some plans earlier or lose some sources of information, and the Order of the Phoenix might have more knowledge about Dark Magic to fight against the Death Eaters because of Snape's existence. At the same time, Harry's growing environment would also change dramatically. He might grow up in an environment with a more complex family background and magical knowledge. And because of Snape and Lily's union, he might not become the " chosen one " in the prophecy. Neville might take on a different role. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was not enough.
