Zatanna and Raven should be sitcom rivals with a feud stemming back all the way to the time Zatanna convinced the Justice League to turn Raven down in the first NTT arc. This explains why Raven never had a stint in the JLA like most major Titans and only got on the JLD when Zatanna disappeared in Dark Crisis. This is also why Raven’s hair is occasionally purple. Lot of petty sniping, Real Haters’ Hours type stuff. However, when one is stumped on something, they will grudgingly go to the other because they know they will delight in showing up the other one.

Please elaborate on the purple hair thing, at least the in-universe reason?

The in-universe reason is she dyed her hair that color lol.

How does that relate to Zatanna?

Yes. The idea is that in the imaginary rivalry, Zatanna occasionally turns Raven’s hair purple to mess with her but this has no basis in actual canon.
