Pippin:
It's not laziness, I think.  It's normal for teenage girls to get 
crushes on their teachers, and even adult women  have been 
known to fall under the spell of a charismatic older man (and 
Snape *is* charismatic.) The explosion of Snape/Hermione fics 
might have more to do with Bill and Monica than with either 
Hermione or Snape, come to think of it.

 Writing Snape/Hermione fic is a safe way to explore  those 
feelings. That the relationship would be  inappropriate  in RL  is 
the whole point.

Many fan fiction writers are obviously much more interested in 
exploring their feelings (and learning to write about them) than in 
creating canon plausible stories--besides which, deciding which 
SHIPS are canon implausible is a minefield in itself.
