In this fanfiction, Snape might finally expose the Dursleys' ill - treatment of Harry. He could use his magic to intimidate them into treating Harry better. Maybe he'd discover some dark secrets about the Dursleys that they've been hiding all along.
There are versions where Snape reacts defensively. Let's say Lily confronts him about his actions that seem to be harming her or her friends. He would immediately start justifying himself, listing all the reasons why he did what he did, trying to make Lily see his point of view, even if deep down he knows he might be in the wrong.
The Dursleys would probably be more frightened. They are muggles and Snape is a powerful wizard. The idea of a strange man in black robes suddenly appearing and using magic would be terrifying for them.
It's hard to say who would be the clear winner. Hermione is intelligent and quick - witted, but Snape has years of experience and a great deal of magical knowledge. If it's a battle of words, Hermione might hold her own for a while, but Snape could use his authority to shut her down.
In some fanfictions, Lily confronts Snape when she realizes he has feelings for her that are deeper than just friendship. She might be uncomfortable with this discovery as she sees him more as a friend. So she confronts him to set boundaries. Snape, on the other hand, is heartbroken and this confrontation could change the whole dynamic of their relationship in the fan - created story.
One possible scenario could be that Hermione confronts Snape about his unfair treatment of Gryffindor students. Maybe she has evidence of him being overly harsh and she stands up to him in a classroom setting.
In a typical fanfiction scene, Snape is standing in the Great Hall during the Sorting Ceremony. The first - years are being called up one by one. When Harry's name is announced, Snape's eyes immediately dart towards him. His face hardens, and his grip on his wand tightens involuntarily. The air around him seems to grow colder as he stares at Harry with an intensity that makes some of the nearby students shift uncomfortably.
In some 'Harry Confronts Petunia' fanfictions, Harry might finally demand answers about his parents. For example, he could confront her about why she never told him more about Lily. Another scenario could be Harry confronting Petunia about her treatment of him over the years, like making him live in the cupboard. And sometimes, it leads to a moment of unexpected understanding between them where Petunia reveals some long - held secrets about the family.
In some fanfictions, Harry might initially be angry and feel betrayed when he confronts the Order. He could question their decisions and secrecy. For example, he might be frustrated about not being fully informed regarding the plans against Voldemort.
Well, in this kind of fanfiction, this scene can have a huge impact. If it's written well, it can completely reshape their relationship. Harry might feel a sense of gratitude towards Snape, which is something he never thought he'd feel. Snape, on the other hand, might feel a strange sense of connection. It could be the start of a friendship or at least a more amicable coexistence. It also gives the writer a chance to explore the psychological aspects of both characters, like Snape's guilt and Harry's capacity for forgiveness.
