Some writers may be exploring the 'what if' scenarios in a more extreme way. They could be thinking about how characters from different worlds or with different personalities would interact if the normal boundaries were removed. It's a way of stretching the imagination and exploring different relationship dynamics, even if they are not in line with the original story.
One reason could be for the shock value. Writers might want to create a story that stands out from the more traditional fanfiction by presenting a very unexpected and taboo - like scenario. It grabs the readers' attention immediately.
It's a rather controversial theme. In the original 'Harry Potter' series, Snape has a complex relationship with Hermione as a teacher - student. Such a romantic or physical interaction goes against the established power dynamics and character relationships in the canon, which is why it's likely to stir up strong opinions among fans.
There could be. Fanfiction allows for all kinds of wild and different interpretations of characters and their relationships. Snape is a complex character and Hermione is a strong - willed one. The idea of Snape stunning Hermione by kissing her is quite out - of - the - box. It may not be a common or widely - known fanfiction plot, but in the huge realm of fan - created stories, it could exist.
One possible reason could be that Snape sees Hermione's value as a brilliant student. He might recognize her potential and not want it to be wasted just because of her dad's actions or situation. Maybe he has a sense of justice deep down, despite his often cold exterior.
Hermione is also very confident in her knowledge. Snape is an expert in Potions, but Hermione is no slouch either. So, when Snape tries to undermine her in Potions class, she might respond with sarcasm. For example, if Snape corrects her in a way that she thinks is wrong, she could say 'Of course, Professor, your infinite wisdom must be right' in a sarcastic tone.
In fanfiction, sometimes authors like to break boundaries and explore 'what - if' scenarios. For the 'Snape cheats on Hermione' idea, it could be a way to create drama and conflict. They might be interested in exploring the emotional turmoil it would cause for Hermione, or how it could change the relationships within the wizarding world they've created in their story. It could also be a way to subvert the typical hero - heroine relationships we see in the original series.
One possible reason could be a misunderstanding. Maybe Hermione thought Snape was involved in some dark plot against her friends. In the wizarding world, there are often secrets and deceptions, and if she got some false information, it could lead her to take such drastic action.
Well, it could be for the sake of exploring an alternate reality. The Great Hall is a place full of magic and tradition in the 'Harry Potter' world. The writer might want to create a scenario where the usual boundaries between Harry and Snape are broken. It could also be a way to show a more complex side of their personalities. Maybe Snape has a side that is attracted to Harry's courage and Harry sees a different, more vulnerable side of Snape, leading to this kiss.
Fanfiction should focus on positive, healthy and creative storylines rather than such inappropriate scenarios. We should look for fanfictions that are in line with moral and ethical standards.
One reason could be Snape's knowledge. Hermione, being a knowledge - seeker herself, might feel safe knowing that Snape has a vast understanding of magic, especially the darker aspects. So, she believes he can keep her safe from any threats related to that knowledge.
Hermione could be hiding her pregnancy from Snape because she's not sure of his feelings towards her. There may be an ambiguous relationship between them. She might be in love with him, but not sure if he feels the same. And she doesn't want to burden him or make things awkward between them. Or perhaps she suspects that Snape might be involved in something dangerous, and she doesn't want her unborn child to be dragged into it.
