Often, the theme of hidden emotions is present. Snape has a very complex relationship with Harry in the original series, and the biting in fanfiction can be a way to expose the unspoken and intense feelings he has for Harry.

The bite might change Harry in some way, either physically or in his perception of Snape and the wizarding world around him.
One common theme is the exploration of forbidden love. Since their relationship in the original series is so complex and often adversarial, the idea of a romantic encounter is a big 'what - if'. Another theme could be redemption. Snape's actions throughout the series are often morally ambiguous, and a kiss could be seen as a step towards some form of redemption in the fanfiction world.
One common theme is the exploration of a complex relationship. Since Snape has a pre - existing relationship with male Harry in the original story, when Harry is female, it adds a whole new layer of complexity. Another theme is self - discovery.

And there's also the theme of redemption, especially for Snape as he navigates this new relationship with fem Harry.

Forgiveness is also a major theme. Harry has to forgive Snape for all the times he was cruel to him, and vice versa. Also, mentorship is often explored. Snape, with his vast knowledge of magic, can become an unexpected mentor to Harry. They can learn from each other in ways that the original story didn't fully explore. And of course, friendship. The idea of two people who were enemies becoming friends is a very appealing theme in these fanfictions.
The theme of identity is also quite prevalent. Harry and Snape both have to re - evaluate who they are in relation to each other when they find out they're brothers. And of course, there's the theme of loyalty. They have to figure out how to be loyal to each other in a world full of danger and political intrigue within the wizarding community. For example, in some fanfictions, they have to decide whether to side with Dumbledore or go their own way as brothers.
