One plot twist might be that Snape has a secret weapon or power that he reveals at the last moment. For example, he could have a powerful protective charm that not only saves his life but also turns the situation around, making the marauders the ones in danger. Or perhaps there is a prophecy involved that the marauders were unaware of, and by trying to kill Snape, they are actually setting in motion a chain of events that will lead to their own downfall.
One way is to really develop the characters' motives. For example, show in detail why the marauders would go as far as to kill Snape. Maybe there are some misunderstandings or deeper rivalries that haven't been fully explored in the original. Another aspect could be to add more magical elements. Instead of just a simple fight, introduce some unique spells or magical artifacts that play a role in the encounter. This would make the story more exciting and unpredictable.
In fanfiction, Snape and the Marauders' friendship can be explored in many ways. One possibility is that they find common ground through their shared love of magic and academic pursuits. Maybe they start to respect each other's skills in potions or charms. Another aspect could be a shared experience of hardship that brings them together. For example, they all face the challenges of growing up in the wizarding world during a time of unrest.
In some fanfiction, Snape's greasy hair might be related to shampoo in a comical way. The Marauders could be the ones making fun of his hair and lack of proper shampoo use. Maybe they play a prank involving shampoo on Snape.
