Does Hermione really enjoy Snape's sense of humor in fanfiction?

Yes, in many fanfictions, Hermione is often portrayed as being able to appreciate Snape's sarcastic wit. His sharp and sarcastic remarks can be seen as a form of intellectual sparring, and Hermione, being the intelligent witch she is, might find it interesting and challenging.

In certain Hermione fanfiction, Snape's sense of humor is a tool for him to test Hermione. He may pose a riddle with a humorous undertone. His sense of humor here is not the typical jovial kind but more of a sly, intellectual humor. Hermione, being the bright witch she is, rises to the challenge. This form of humor in the fanfiction helps to build a unique dynamic between Snape and Hermione, different from what we see in the original books.

Yes, in many fanfictions, Snape is often depicted as having a sense of humor. It might be a dry, sarcastic humor that is in line with his character in the original books. For example, he could make a snarky comment about a student's potion - making skills that makes the reader chuckle.

One example could be when Snape sarcastically comments on Hermione's habit of always having her hand up in class. He might say something like 'Miss Granger, do you plan on levitating your hand permanently? It seems quite attached to the air.' Another instance might be where he makes a veiled joke about Hermione's love for books. He could say 'I'm surprised you haven't charmed those books to follow you around like puppies, Miss Granger.'

In some fanfictions, Snape might make a sardonic comment about the Gryffindor - Slytherin rivalry, like 'The Gryffindors seem to think courage is a substitute for common sense, and yet they wonder why their potions always explode. It amuses me.'

It can add tension. For instance, if Snape makes a dry comment about a student's performance in a dangerous task, it can make the student more determined, thus driving the plot forward. In some fanfics, his dry humor is used to mislead other characters. They might not take his words seriously at first because of the humor, but later find out there was a deeper meaning.

One popular fanfiction site might have some. You could search for tags like 'Hermione Snape humor' on Archive of Our Own. There are likely some stories there that explore this concept.

One characteristic is its subtlety. Snape doesn't overdo it. For example, he might just give a small smirk and a short, sarcastic comment. Another is its unpredictability. You don't always know when he'll drop a dry humor line.

It adds an element of intrigue. His unexpected humorous remarks keep the readers on their toes, wondering what he'll say next. For example, in a story where there's a tense situation in Hogwarts, Snape's sarcastic comment can break the tension and also lead to new plot developments as characters react to his words.

In most proper fanfiction, this is not a common or acceptable scenario. Snape is a complex character in the Harry Potter universe, and while fanfiction can explore different relationships, the idea of him taking advantage of Hermione goes against the general spirit of the original series. Snape has his own loyalties and goals, and Hermione is a strong, intelligent character who would not be easily taken advantage of.
