agreed.

Well, I don't really understand shipping young kids with adults. And I know they get "older" but it's even weirder to me to think about a relationship between a teacher and a student they had when that student was 11.

And there's not even any sexy, simmering, intense moments between the two. There's really not, pedophilia aside - I don't get the ship or what the appeal possibly could be. Besides Hermoine being the self-insert for many female readers who then proceeded to crush on Snape. (which I also cannot understand for the life of me, yuck)

Pretty much hit the nail on the head. Hermione is the female character with the most screentime, and she's got a lot of traits that young girls want to live up to. Meanwhile Snape hits all the teenage girl buttons of 'Older authority figure who is broody and dark but secretly good and I can change him!' (Yes I am both romantacizing and generalizing)

I remember seeing one than more Snape/Hermione shipper claim they had affairs with much older men when they were teenagers back in the early days of fandom. So there's that, too.

All of this!

These are pretty much exactly my thoughts on Snape/Hermione as well.

OP

If you want to understand... the way it works out most plausibly is that the two of them end up having to work together one-on-one for some reason -- whether it's a Marriage Law, an extracurricular project, a secret assignment for the Order, or Hermione acts as Snape's healer -- whatever the hook, it starts out very in-character. He's rude and impatient and bullying and belittling and wants nothing to do with her. She's an eager beaver and determined and a little naive and a lot insecure and desperate to prove herself (because he's the only teacher she has never managed to win over and that is a bitch of a situation).

Eventually, circumstances gradually force them to develop some sort of intimacy. They start seeing each other less as "great git" and "know-it-all" and more like people. They wonder at one another's strengths and skills. They make up for each other's weaknesses. The "sexy, simmering, intense moments" come much later. There's usually heavy-duty hurt/comfort and a ton of angst (she's a student or too young for him, he's irreparably broken and/or destined to die for the cause, what if someone finds out, etc). They become impossibly loyal to one another.

It's pretty standard stuff, to be honest.

The draw of the ship, at least for me, is really the development of intimacy with someone who is almost impossible to get to know and seeing how that intimacy changes both characters. Because that's what relationships do.

It never starts out in character, just admit it. Your ship is OOC fuckshit just like almost every other non-canon ship.

Oh brother.
