[intrigueing]

Well, characters can be drastically different in a highly conspicuous way that makes their original personality kind of stand out by its very absence. Like, the canon can be there by implication, you know?

For example, if I ran into a Harry Potter AU where Snape was a friendly teacher who spent every evening watering the lilacs in his front garden and talking to the neighborhood children who were comfortable enough with him to call him "Old Beak Nose", I'd be very, very, very interested in exactly why he grew up like that instead of the way he did in canon: exactly what canon events happened differently, why they affected him differently than they did in canon, and what this drastic change in personality implies about the nature of that event and the importance of that canon event's effect on that character and all the resultant implications.

So you know, the canon personality is still there, in the reader's mind, and the writer could be working from the assumption that the reader knows what the canon personality is, sees the difference between canon and the AU, and wants to know wtf happened to Snape to make him like this and why.

(Honestly, I like these more than most genre/situation AUs)
