Hmm... I do not agree that it's a hard pairing really. But it all comes down to personal preferences and personal expiriences I guess. To me, Snarry is one of the most .. uhm.. normal.. ships in the HP fandom. I do crave the age difference for a ship to work for me I guess. (ok I like Snupin too so I'm not ALL that consistent)
Personally I prefer the At Hogwarts type of fics, because, as you said, there's all th dynamics going on AND the more or less forbidden aspect of the student/teacher aspect which I guess appeals greatly to me. I do like Post War fics too, as long as Harry isn't TOO old (though of course the age difference will always be the same I somewhat prefer Snape not older than in his 40'ies)
I've of course read some AU's and Other types of stories and while I like them a lot I keep returning to the ones I know and love, and those are generally of the At Hogwarts type. (Funny really that my own Snarry (http://trekkiegrrrl.dk/shellshock.htm) is set in a Post Hogwarts setting. But the storyline called for it.)
You have a lot of VERY good points here! And a lot of LOVELY links! Thanks!
