There could also be interesting developments for Harry Potter in such fanfictions. Harry might have a different reaction to Snape. Instead of the complex and often conflicted relationship they had in the original story, Harry could fully embrace Snape as a hero and perhaps learn more about Snape's past and his motives in a more positive light. This could lead to a much closer bond between them, with Harry seeing Snape as a mentor figure in a new way.
For Voldemort, his character might be explored more in terms of his vulnerability. In the original story, he was a very powerful and feared villain. But in these fanfictions, his defeat by Snape could show that he had more weaknesses than were initially thought. It could also explore how his followers react to his death at the hands of Snape. Some might be relieved, while others might seek revenge on Snape, which could create new storylines and conflicts.
One popular theme is the aftermath of Voldemort's death. How does the wizarding world change? Does Harry become a sort of dictator - like figure because of his power? Another theme is the emotional journey of Harry. Killing Voldemort might not be as straightforward as it seems in terms of his mental state. He could be haunted by the act or feel a sense of loss even though Voldemort was evil. Also, the theme of redemption is common. Maybe some of Voldemort's followers are given a chance to redeem themselves in the wake of his death.
There are fanfictions that explore Snape's relationship with Voldemort in a more psychological way. For example, delving into how Snape's past experiences with Voldemort shaped his actions throughout the series. Maybe Snape has to face some of his darkest memories related to Voldemort and overcomes them in a unique way in the fanfiction.
There are indeed. They usually play around with the idea of power and manipulation within the relationship. Writers might use this pairing to show a different side of the wizarding world's power structure. For example, how Severus' knowledge and Voldemort's dark magic could interact in a marriage setting, creating a whole new set of stories and character developments.
One possible plotline could be that Snape discovers a hidden vulnerability in Voldemort. Maybe it's related to his Horcruxes. Snape, being the intelligent and resourceful character he is, figures out a way to destroy all of Voldemort's Horcruxes without Voldemort suspecting. Then, he uses his powerful magic skills, perhaps a combination of dark and light magic, to directly confront and kill Voldemort.
One interesting Severus Snape diary fanfiction could be one where his diary reveals his innermost thoughts during his time as a double agent. It might show his constant struggle between his loyalty to Dumbledore and his past associations. Another could be a fanfic where the diary contains his unspoken feelings for Lily, exploring his love and heartbreak in great detail.

Some sub Severus Snape fanfictions focus on his time as a double agent during the wizarding war. These stories might detail his inner turmoil as he has to deceive Voldemort while also trying to protect Harry Potter. There are also fanfictions that explore his relationship with other Hogwarts professors in more depth.

One interesting Severus Snape crack fanfiction could be 'Snape's Misadventures in the Muggle World'. It humorously portrays Snape trying to navigate modern Muggle technology and culture, like struggling with a smartphone or being baffled by fast - food restaurants. Another might be 'Snape's Secret Talent for Dance' where he is somehow forced to participate in a wizarding dance competition and his stiff personality clashes with the flamboyant world of dance. There's also 'Snape and the Invisible Cat' which involves Snape being followed around by an invisible cat that only he can sense, causing all sorts of chaos in Hogwarts.
A Severus Snape creature fanfiction could involve a basilisk. Snape might be tasked with dealing with a basilisk that has escaped from the Chamber of Secrets again. His skills as a Potions master and his familiarity with the school's secrets would be put to the test as he tries to outwit the deadly creature.
For Albus Severus Potter, he could start off as a bit of a skeptic about Snape. But as he delves deeper into Snape's past, he could develop into a strong advocate for Snape's honor. He might become more confident in himself as he realizes the complexity of the wizarding world's history that Snape was a part of.
A common plot is that Snape uses his position as a double agent to his advantage. He gets close to Voldemort and then at a key moment, he uses a hidden weapon or spell to injure him. For example, he might have a wand with special properties that he uses against Voldemort. This is popular because it plays on Snape's duplicitous nature.
