Yes, there are quite a few. You can start by looking on fanfiction websites like Archive of Our Own. Some of these stories explore unique relationships between James Potter and Severus Snape, often delving into their complex history and different personalities.
One common theme is redemption. For example, James might be shown as trying to make up for his past bullying of Snape. Another theme is the exploration of their mutual jealousy, like Snape's jealousy over James's relationship with Lily. Also, there's often the theme of friendship that could have been, where they gradually learn to understand and care for each other.

A great fanfiction is 'Cursed Bonds'. Here, Snape's curses on James are not just simple spells but are tied to a deeper, more mystical bond between them. The story unfolds with a series of adventures as they both try to break or understand this bond that the curses have created.
In most cases, it's not ethical. Torture is a cruel act. However, in the context of fanfiction, some might argue it depends on the overall narrative and the 'rules' set within that fictional universe. If it's part of a revenge plot where Snape has been deeply wronged by James in the past, it could be seen as a morally gray area. But generally, torture is not a positive or ethical behavior.
It's popular because many fans prefer to explore the complex relationship between Snape and Harry in a more traditional, platonic way. Their relationship in the original books has so many layers, like Snape's hidden protection of Harry and Harry's gradual understanding of Snape's true nature. Fans want to delve deeper into these aspects without adding romantic or sexual elements.
Snape's view of James might not change much at first. He has such deep - seated hatred for James due to their past. But if the fanfiction shows James in a more positive or sympathetic light, he may start to question his long - held beliefs about him, just a little bit.
