Is it strange that Snape likes Harry Potter fanfiction?

Yes, there are quite a few. Fanfiction platforms are filled with various interpretations of relationships in the Harry Potter universe. Some writers explore unique dynamics between characters like Harry and Snape, often delving into what could have been if their relationship had been different, such as a more positive or understanding one.

I'm not entirely sure what it specifically means. It could be a very creative and perhaps a bit of a wild fan - created concept where in a fanfiction, Harry Potter is somehow the twin of Snape in a very different take on the 'Harry Potter' universe.

In this fanfiction concept, the story would be turned on its head. The whole mystery around Harry's parents and his connection to Snape would be reimagined. Their shared heritage as twins could lead to new magical abilities that they discover together. The Hogwarts houses might even treat them differently. For instance, Snape being a Slytherin and Harry being a Gryffindor in the original, but as twins, there could be a whole new dynamic within the houses. And the final battle with Voldemort could be fought in a completely different way with their combined strength and new - found relationship.

There are several common themes. First, there's the theme of hidden loyalties. As Harry uncovers Snape's true loyalties, he might start to like him. Second, the theme of personal growth for both characters. Harry grows in his perception of Snape, and Snape may also grow in his relationship with Harry. Third, there's often a theme of the truth coming to light. Once Harry discovers the full truth about Snape, it can lead to a newfound respect and liking for him. Fanfiction writers like to explore these aspects to create interesting stories about these two characters.

It could be that in the fanfiction, some of the relationships are developed in a way that he finds interesting. For example, the relationship between him and Harry might be reimagined in a more positive or complex light, which makes him see new possibilities and thus like it.

In some fanfictions, Snape might use his advanced knowledge of potions to create a special concoction to heal Harry. He could draw on his skills in Herbology as well to find rare ingredients for the potion.

One more to consider is 'Snape: Beyond the Surface'. In this story, the author explores Snape's relationships with other characters like Dumbledore and McGonagall. It shows how his interactions with them were not always as straightforward as they seemed in the original books and adds more depth to his character.

One great Snape fanfiction is 'The Prince's Tale Redux'. It delves deeper into Snape's relationship with Lily. It shows his internal struggles and how his love for her influenced his actions throughout the series. It gives a more in - depth look at his character than what was shown in the original books.

In some fanfictions, Snape is indeed portrayed as Harry Potter's father. Fanfiction allows for creative reinterpretations of the original story, and this is one such interesting deviation from the canon where Snape's complex relationship with Harry takes on a whole new dimension.

One possible motive could be a misunderstanding. Maybe Snape is framed for something really bad, like a dark magic plot against Hogwarts. Harry, in his haste to protect the school and his friends, believes Snape is guilty and takes drastic action. Another reason could be if Snape accidentally endangers someone Harry loves dearly, like Ginny or Ron, and Harry's emotions get the better of him in the heat of the moment.
