Well, I really liked 'Snape's Clandestine Operations'. It shows how Snape managed to gather intelligence while still maintaining his cover at Hogwarts. 'The Spy Beneath the Cloak' is also worth checking out. It focuses on Snape's relationships with other characters while he was spying. Oh, and 'Snape's Espionage Years' gives a detailed account of his years as a spy, from his early days of being recruited to his final acts of loyalty.
To be a good spy Snape fanfiction, it needs to show Snape's unique skills as a spy. He might have his own network of informants or special spells for gathering information. The pacing of the story also matters. It should not be too slow or too rushed. A slow - building story can build up the tension as Snape gets closer to achieving his spying goals, while a fast - paced one can keep the readers excited with quick - moving spy - related events.
One great fanfiction on this theme is 'The Unveiling of Snape'. It delves deep into the moment of discovery and how it impacts the wizarding world. The author does an amazing job of portraying Snape's complex emotions during this revelation.

There are many ways this could happen in fanfic. One way is that Harry uses his connection with Voldemort's mind. Since Harry has a link to Voldemort's thoughts, he might be able to pick up on Voldemort's doubts about Snape. And then Harry starts to investigate Snape further. He might recall some strange actions of Snape in the past, like his ambiguous loyalty during certain battles or his secret meetings with some unknown figures. Combining all these, Harry eventually realizes that Snape is a spy.
Snape's spying in fanfiction can also introduce elements of mystery. Writers often use his secret activities to keep readers guessing. For instance, the readers may not be sure which side he is truly on until the very end. This adds an extra layer of intrigue to the story, making it more exciting to read.
Snape could be in great danger. Voldemort might immediately try to kill him. Snape would have to fight for his life or try to escape. His status among the Death Eaters would be completely ruined, and he'd become a hunted man.
Well, it often changes the relationships. For example, Harry's view of Snape would completely shift. Instead of seeing him as just a mean teacher, he'd realize Snape was on their side all along, which adds a whole new layer of complexity to their relationship.
