In fanfiction, Snape might be drawn to Hermione because of her intelligence. She's extremely bright and her thirst for knowledge could be appealing to Snape, who also values intelligence highly. Her ability to think quickly and solve problems might catch his attention.
One reason for the appeal could be the contrast between the two characters. Snape is a complex and often brooding figure, while Hermione is intelligent and headstrong. In fanfiction, their interaction can create interesting dynamics, like Snape seeing a kindred spirit in Hermione's thirst for knowledge. It also allows for exploring different sides of Snape's character, perhaps a softer side that he doesn't show in the original series.
One common theme is redemption. Snape's character is often seen as in need of redemption, and his attraction to Hermione can be part of that journey. Another theme is the breaking of social barriers. Given their different ages and positions in the wizarding world, their relationship challenges the norms. And of course, there's the theme of unrequited love, which can add a lot of emotional depth to the story.
One popular one could be 'A Different Sort of Bond'. It explores a unique relationship between Snape and Hermione where his initial coldness gradually thaws as he realizes her intelligence and strength. Another might be 'The Unlikely Attraction' which delves into how their interactions in the Hogwarts setting lead to an unexpected draw between them. There's also 'Unexpected Alliances' where they are forced to work together on a secret project and that proximity makes Snape see Hermione in a new light.
It could be that the fanfiction often takes place in settings where animals are more present or involved. For example, if the story is set in a magical forest or a wizarding countryside, animals are likely to be part of the scenery. And Hermione's character, being intelligent and curious, might interact with these animals in ways that make them seem drawn to her in the fanfiction.
There could be. The Harry Potter fandom is quite large and diverse. Some fans might see potential in a relationship between Bill and Hermione and write fanfictions based on that. It could be an interesting exploration of their personalities and how they might interact in different scenarios.
Perhaps it's the allure of the 'forbidden'. Fenrir Greyback is a dark and dangerous character, and exploring his relationship with Hermione in fanfiction might be an exploration of the contrast between light (Hermione) and dark (Greyback).
One possible reason could be the contrast between them. Lucius is from an old, pure - blood wizarding family with dark tendencies, while Hermione is a Muggle - born with strong moral values. This contrast creates an interesting dynamic that fanfiction writers like to explore.
The 'time - travel' trope is also quite common. For example, Hermione might go back in time and interact with a younger Snape, which can lead to all sorts of new storylines and character developments.
One great Snape and Hermione fanfiction is 'The Unbreakable Bond'. In this story, Hermione discovers a hidden side of Snape during her research in the Hogwarts library. Their relationship starts as a mentorship but gradually evolves into a deep friendship that defies the expectations of the wizarding world. It beautifully portrays their individual characters and how they can complement each other.
