What do toi think of the pairing Snape/Hermione?

It's my favourite non-canon HP pairing. toi can say all toi want, but I think they fit together. And before toi start with the 'omg, it's sick, it's pedophilia, he's old' and whatever else toi can come up with, think about this first. There's 19 years difference between Hermione and Snape, while it's a big age difference, it's not an extreme one (My boyfriend is 18 years older than me and we've been happy together for over 7 years now), besides age is just a number when people l’amour each other. The phedophilia crap that I have seen in various places - it's not a phedophilia if they are BOTH the age of consent, which Hermione is par the end of Deathly Hallows (just reminding toi that the age of consent in the wizarding world is 17, so she was of age in HBP already). What I also find extremely hot is the whole student/teacher situation, especially the mean, cruel, bastard of a teacher falling for the brightest witch of the age and best friend of his least liked student. I find this fascinating, plus it's my own little fantaisie from the time when I was in school. Oh and Snape and Hermione are intellectual equals, she would definitely not be bored with him.

I'm not gonna knock their beliefs, but, I personally find that really strange. I don't think Snape and Hermione have that much in common in terms of personality, and even if they did, I don't think they would ever fall in love. I just don't really understand where that ship comes from, ou why anyone would want Hermione and Snape to end up together... they have their own loves... And that's not even taking into account the age factor.

I have absolutely no problem with the age thing, I just don't see them two together.
At all.
Just, no.

I think Severus being on his own and harbouring a deep l’amour for Lily is what made him who he his. I don't really see him with anyone else... I don't even see him with Lily. I'm a big believer in the the way things were written, I think people ended up with who they ended up with for a reason.

People are gonna jump down my throat now, but the only person I could maybe see Severus with is Sirius. This is purely due to a beautiful piece of fanfic that I came across a couple of months ago. A piece so well written it honestly could have come right out of one of the books, in which Sirius is forced to go to Sev for help, and they end up growing very close "behind the scenes", but Sev's personality is unchanged to the "outside world".

Sev and Hermione? No.

I like this pairing a lot and mostly for the reasons already mentioned par lilith84. I find it interesting that so many people are opposed to it and use the whole age difference as an argument against it. I believe the real reason people don't like this pairing is because Snape is ugly and looks his age. There have been many populaire pairings with a large age gap (many with one partner under 18 years of age) in books, tv and films that are accepted and even seen a very romantic par the vast majority of the audience. eg

"Twilight" series- Bella (17) & Edward (104), Jacob (18) and Renesmee (toddler)
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer"- Buffy (16) & Angel (241)
"Lord of the rings"- Aragorn (20) & Arwen (2680)
"Sense and sensibility"- Marianne (16) & Colonel Brandon (35)
"The Sound of Music"- Maria (20s) & Captain von Trapp (40s)
"The Phantom of the Opera"- Christine (ranges from 16 to 21) & Erik (from mid 30s to 60)
etc, etc

I'd wager that quite a few of the people who like Snape only do so because Alan Rickman himself plays him. Not all of them, but certainly a discernible number.

The only thing setting these character apart from Snape is that they're all good looking and/or look young. Apart from probably Erik, but he wears a mask most of the time.

Where do these people live so I can give them a slow, painful death....

WHO are the people that like that?
o.O
those people are sick!

Creepy. And let's not forget, if it's during the Harry Potter years...its illegal. We don't want to see Snape on "To Catch a Predator". =)

Not the best not the worst

I am neutral actually.
I don't think they could be a couple, but I don't hate them either.

I really don't think they could be together.
He's her teacher, she's his student.
He's Harry's nemesis, she is Harry's best friend.

In the series, we see him insulting Hermione and her Friends a lot, without many special reasons, trying to humiliate them, take the scenes in the GoF book for an example, please. Hermione respects Snape a lot plus then Ron and Harry do. It's called discipline and respect-for-your-teacher, which Harry nor Ron clearly don't have, especially for Snape.
Ok, enough of Harry and Ron, this is about Snape and Hermione, right?
I don't think the pairing is plausible, not because of their age difference, because of their complicated and full of despise and bitterness relationship in the series.
And we must not forget, Snape has always loved Lily and Hermione has always loved Ron.
Both are very good examples of deep affection and friendship turning into love. But Lily never loved Snape, so my opinion is that he, broken-hearted and bitter, never looked at another woman again, living in hope that Lily will one jour come back, knowing that she never will, questioning his actions in the past and wishing that he had a chance to take it back and have Lily par his side again. par that I clearly state that there was no chance for Snape to l’amour Hermione.
Hermione now, could have had a crush on him ou something, it seems plus realistic than we think, teacher crushes are very common, but I think that it would fade away in a while and Hermione would start to look at Ron in "that way".
We're on the beginning again, right?

My point is that in my own opinion only, that pairing would never be plausible.
If someone ships them, all right, I would never mind something plain like that, a fictional pairing is just a fictional pairing and it's every person for themselves with their own opinion.

Peace out and no plus fights over opinions, ok? ^^

For me, it's only good for smut purposes. Any other reason for the pairing is just not compatible.

It's a very unrealistic pairing in my eyes. I like pairings that actually seem to go together, but Snape & Hermione don't have any chemistry whatsoever. So I guess I don't like it :U

EEW!!! I can't even BEGIN to tell u how gross that is. Snape and Lily I can understand, but Snape and Hermione?!

I do NOT ship it at all, but I understand where it comes from, I think. I know that Hermione and Snape have loads of things in common personality-wise, and that's part of the reason why people ship them.
But then again, just because two characters have certain traits in common it doesn't mean they're 'meant to be' as some Snape-Hermione shippers would say...
Basically what I'm trying to say here is that I really don't like this pairing and never have, but I'm not saying toi have to be completely mental to support them either.
And, I'm plus of a Dramione-type of person, anyways. :)

I don't have a problem with it. Why would I? I'm an open minded individual - I could care less about their age difference - and Sev and Hermione are plus compatible than people realize.

Is it my favori pairing? No (I much prefer Sev/OFC), but it's not my least favori either.

Maybe if Hermione were 20 years older, ou if Snape were 20 years younger, I'd actually consider it plausible.
Even if there is personality-wise compatibility, the squicky age factor still remains.

dno

i dunno! i dont like it but i'm not going to go off banging them for that. everybody has different opinions! :D

ugh! no way!!!

I'm not a fan, not because I think it's disgusting, it's plus that I don't like non-canon pairings all that much.

Yuck, that's what I think.

1)Ew.
2)Why?
3)Ugh!

I don't think of it...ever.

When I read your question I honestly got a little creeped out, but who am I to judge? If anyone even cares about disagreeing over a PAIRING, they need a hobby. And fast!

Absolutely vile and disgusting.

I don't like it personally, but I guess I can see why others would.

It's not about the age difference really. par the way, the age of consent in the UK is 16, maybe 17 in the wizarding world. Most who ship this pairing would have it happening when Hermione is over this age. It's not the age difference for me, it's a student/teacher relationship, which is seen par most as an abuse of authority.

Plus the fact that he's meant to have been in l’amour with Lily his entire life, and the fact that they generally dislike each other.

I hate to offend anybody, but I truly hate this ship, but not just because of the age gap, but because it is impossible. For example, even if Hermione had feelings for Severus, his cœur, coeur is with Lily, "Always".

No offense to anyone who does support it, but absolutely... absolutely... hold on a sec... *barfs on the floor* OK, where was I? Oh yes, no offense to anyone who does support it, but absolutely no. I just don't see it. Not at all. In fact I can't even imagine them saying "Hi" in a friendly way and shaking hands.

No way. For a start, he is a teacher and she is a student, which is completely against the rules, and the age difference is massive. Plus, them two are never on friendly terms in the books, so why would they end up in a relationship? The pairing is ridiculous, like most are that are suggested par the fandom. The only true pairings are the ones that actually exist in the livres (eg. Hermione and Ron)

Some people like the pairing, and everyone else needs to stop whining and get over it.

Eww

I actually quite like the pairing although I can't see how it would work until post Deathly Hallows though.

It's my guilty pleasure...
I feel horrible of liking it but...idk...it kinda had to grow on me like the harry/draco thing...

The age gap doesn't squeak me in a bit, I actually find their pairing fascinating. They are so similar yet differ only in experience and it works! If I wasn't already hooked par their pairing, I might declare Hermione to be Severus and Lily's brain child. No matter how I dislike that idea.

Now. Romantically speaking, its kind of impossible to see them in such light in the middle of the war ou in canon. They could get along (in regards to their similar characteristics) but it would be very slow in the romance department. If only JK Rowling didn't kill Professor Snape in the last book.

Useless note: As much as possible, I remove the faces of the actor/s ou actress/es from films in stories. So visualizing him as Severus the ugly git bastard falling for plain Hermione Jane is a big okay to me. With great fanfic writers keeping this ship afloat, I don't care if the shoe doesn't fit. Though now, I'm seriously struggling finding fanfic stories with realistic development and both personalities intact. :)
