In the fanfic, Snape's reaction could be multi - faceted. He might start by investigating the abuse more deeply. He could use his skills as a Potions master and a former Death Eater to find out who is behind the abuse. And then, he might take steps to ensure Harry's safety. This could involve enlisting the help of other teachers or even trying to get Dumbledore more involved. He may also start to teach Harry some extra skills or give him potions to help him deal with the emotional and physical trauma of the abuse.
In many fanfics, Draco's reaction turns into a sense of protectiveness.

When they find out he's been abused, they'd first ensure his safety. They could move him to a secret location, perhaps a safe house that only a few trusted members know about. Then, they'd start looking into the root cause of the abuse. Was it related to the ongoing battle against Voldemort? Were there traitors within their midst?
