OP

[(Anonymous)]

It's hard to say exactly what the big distinction is, but I can put forward some things that I think contribute to my feelings on the matter.

* I see Hermione as a person, because her character was well-elaborated on throughout the series. Because of that, I can easily imagine her in situations outside of canon, and think about how her personality meshes with Snape's in terms that go beyond merely the scripted interactions. Conversely, Lily was never really shown well enough for me to see her as her own person. She's just a building block in some people's back stories, so the only connection between her and Snape I can imagine is what canon gives us, and based on canon alone, I think he absolutely does not deserve her (and was in fact outright rejected by her).

* While I am, admittedly, not especially fond of James, I can't really separate him from Lily in my mind because it would eliminate (or at the least, heavily diminish) Harry, because so much of who Harry is is derived from the fact that he is their child. Hermione and Ron as a couple never particularly engaged my interest, and I don't think their romance was especially necessary for any events, and certainly no character's existence hinges upon their involvement (except the epilogue characters who certainly never got a chance to become important).

* I have always had a kink for "forbidden relationship" kind of romances, and in particular, the teacher/student dynamic. This is especially true in this case, because I find Hermione's headstrong independence and bullheadedness makes it seem a bit less predatory and profane than other types of relationships based on similar premises.

I hope this answers things a bit :)
