Well, depending on the story, it may just be that, in the end, some people just don't take it that seriously? Like, well, Malfoy probably wouldn't ever dress like Sailor Moon, but, dammit, it just must be done!
But yeah, if they're really doing something "serious" and changing character so that it fits the plot... well they've just started to write an original fic that steals JKRs idea heavily. (and I actually have read 1 or 2 stories that were so strong and well-written they got away w/ it, but most fanfics... I want canon re-seen, not the person's own story with borrowed elements)
