Often, it starts with intense dislike. Snape is constantly critical of Harry in class, deducting points for the slightest mistakes. Harry, in turn, sees Snape as a bully. As the story progresses, there might be small moments of grudging respect, like when Harry realizes Snape's intelligence in potions, but the overall hatred remains for a long time.
One possible reason could be his lingering resentment towards James Potter, Harry's father. Snape and James had a long - standing feud during their school days. Since Harry looks a lot like James, Snape might be transferring his old grudges onto Harry.
Harry could react with anger. He is a strong - willed character. So, he might confront Snape about his hatred. He would demand to know why Snape is treating him this way when they should have a father - son relationship. This could lead to a series of intense arguments between them.
Yes, there are likely some. But it's a rather unusual take considering Snape's well - known feelings for Lily in the 'Harry Potter' universe. It might attract those who are interested in exploring the 'what - ifs' of a more antagonistic relationship between them. Maybe in these fanfictions, they have some sort of falling - out early on that leads to Snape's hatred. However, it's not something you'll find in abundance compared to other types of 'Harry Potter' fanfiction.
One possible reason could be that fanfiction often takes creative liberties that may distort the complex character of Snape that J.K. Rowling created. Snape has a very intricate backstory and personality in the original series, and fanfiction might simplify or misinterpret it.
Yes, there are quite a few out there. Some explore the reasons behind Snape's possible dislike for Hermione from his perspective of being a strict teacher and having his own biases. However, not all of them are well - written. You might have to dig through a lot of stories on fanfiction platforms to find the really engaging ones.
It can create a lot of tension. If Snape is constantly hating in the fanfiction, it can make the atmosphere very strained. For example, if the story is set in Hogwarts, his hatred might spill over into his interactions with students and other teachers, making the whole school environment seem more hostile.
One reason could be jealousy. Maybe Snape gets jealous of Lily's other relationships or her popularity at Hogwarts. Another could be a fundamental difference in their beliefs or values that grows over time into hatred.
One common theme is academic rivalry. Hermione is very studious and Snape is a strict teacher, so there could be a sense of her constantly challenging him in the classroom. Another theme might be her association with Harry and Ron, who Snape has his own issues with. So her friendship with them can be a reason for his dislike in these fanfictions.
One possible reason could be Snape's past experiences. Maybe he had a difficult childhood himself and doesn't know how to handle having a son. He might project his own insecurities and traumas onto Harry. Another reason could be that he sees too much of Harry's father in him. Since Snape had a long - standing feud with Harry's father, seeing those traits in Harry could trigger his hatred.
