Then, there is the undeniable chemistry between Harry and Snape. However you want to interpret those feelings (hatred, unrequited twisted lust, whatever) it's difficult to imagine the two characters *ever* being indifferent to one another. (Same thing holds true between Sirirus and Snape.) In constrast, Canon!Harry spends very little time thinking about or interacting with Draco
That sums up something I hadn't really put together; I like pairs of characters who take up a great deal of room in one another's heads. All that effort concentrated on one another is slashy, IMO. SS/SB and SS/HP both fit that bill. *digs out the contrivance toybox from under the bed*
