"Snarry is part of a subgenre of fan fiction called Slash," she says. "Snarry depicts romantic relationships between Harry Potter and Severus Snape, together - Snarry. […]
Snarry slash people (ie people who write fan fiction about Snape and Harry getting it on till the break o’dawn) are super-intense. Seriously that is one rich, rich subculture.
"Slash" refers to gay themes. "Pairing" or "Ship" refers to a new coupling, and "Harry/Draco is often shortened to H/D, whereas Harry/Snape is usually dubbed 'Snarry' a la 'Brangelina,'" Tran explains.

Therefore, it is logical that the selected trope will more often be used in fics which have a non-normative ship: fandomstats relays that, within the EWE tag, some of the most prolific ships include Drarry, Dramione (Draco/Hermione, not a slash ship but still one that does not conform with Rowling’s normative ideas as it contains Draco, an antagonistic character), and ships involving Snape, including Snamione and Snarry.
