The character development of Snape is crucial. He has to evolve from being a seemingly bitter and resentful teacher to a self - sacrificing protector. Also, the fanfiction often plays with the idea of redemption for Snape through his protection of Harry. The power dynamics between them, with Snape being the more experienced wizard and Harry having his own special powers, is another key aspect.
There's 'A Protector's Duty'. In this fanfiction, Snape's protection of Harry is rooted in his deep - seated sense of honor and his unspoken feelings for the boy. It's full of intense moments where Snape has to make difficult choices to shield Harry from various threats within the wizarding world.
Another trope is the internal struggle within Snape. His jealousy battles with his self - imposed sense of propriety. He has been Harry's teacher and has a certain image to uphold, but his jealousy makes him act in ways that are out of character for that image. This creates a lot of tension in the story.
Love against all odds is a big theme. In the wizarding world, their relationship might be seen as inappropriate or difficult. But in these fanfictions, they overcome those obstacles. Also, self - discovery is there. Snape and Harry both learn more about themselves through their relationship in many of these stories. And of course, the theme of forgiveness plays a role as they have had a rather rocky past in the original story.
The 'virgin Snape' concept is popular because it adds an element of vulnerability to his character. Snape is often portrayed as a very guarded and complex character in the original series. In Snarry fanfiction, making him a virgin gives him a different kind of innocence that contrasts with his otherwise dark and brooding nature, which makes for an interesting dynamic with Harry.
One great 'Snarry virgin Snape fanfiction' could be 'The Unspoken Bond'. It delves into the complex relationship between Snape and Harry in a very interesting way. It shows how their connection might develop over time, with Snape's virginity adding an extra layer of complexity to his character in the story.
Well, in some fanfictions, Snape might be protective of Harry because he sees a lot of Lily in Harry. Lily was Snape's long - loved friend, and Harry is her son. So that connection makes Snape feel an urge to protect Harry from harm, despite their often - rocky relationship in the original story.
Snape might be protective of Draco in fanfiction because in the original series, Snape has a certain loyalty to the Slytherin house. Draco is a young Slytherin, and Snape could see a bit of his own past self in Draco. Also, Snape was tasked with some difficult and dangerous missions by Voldemort. He might want to protect Draco from getting too deeply involved in Voldemort's dark plans to spare the boy from a similar fate as his own.
I also like 'Snape's Jealous Heart'. This one shows how Snape's jealous nature can both complicate and enhance his relationship with Harry. It's well - written, with a great exploration of the characters' personalities and how they react to Snape's jealousy.
One popular 'bottom Snape Snarry' fanfiction is 'The Bond' which delves deep into the complex relationship between Snape and Harry. It has great character development and an engaging plot.
