I don't see re-writing things so Snape survives Nagini as fanon, how could it be?
OK, this is way interesting to me to me, because to me that is an example of fanon - a group of people (that is, a lot, more than just one person) decide that something counter-canon (or even simply not canon, if you see the distinction I mean) is how they want to write it, and it becomes fully accepted within fandom asa genre/trope. Surely live Snape is a fanon trope? I mean, there are a lot of Snape fen. Like when Sirius was killed, the Sirius fen brought him back so that live-Sirius was a fanon trope. You must define fanon differently and I'd be very interested in hearing what that definition is (other than "more widely accepted" - unless you mean all of fandom accepts it???). It's totally possible that my "definition" of fanon is out of step with other fen's definition. :-)
