It could be the dynamic between the characters is just different enough in canon that the hate!sex trope feels off. Or maybe it was just the way the writer handled it, not bad writing or anything, but the set up or whatever just didn't work for you.
Like you, I've sort of grown away from the hate!sex thing with Snack, well, not really hate!sex but rather non-con. I can read and enjoy a good tussle, some fight sex, or angry sex, or even dub-con between them but I can't view either character as a rapist so non-con just doesn't work for me. I think once I got over the woobie!Snape thing, non-con fic went with it.
