"3.) In The Connection interview, a caller asked Rowling "Will Snape
fall in love?" She was did not give away much in her answer, but she did
say that she was thunderstruck that someone would ask that because there
will be something important about Snape which we will learn later on."

Have we not just learnt something very important about Snape. I was very
much shocked to learn that he was a Death Eater.

"2.) Thoroughly unconfirmed rumor: Snape was in love with Lily and
tried to protect her from Voldemort. Harry is a constant reminder of
his failure to do so."

If this is true it could explain why he changed from supporting Voldemort
to being a spy. If he learned that Voldemort planned to kill the Potter's
then he may have tried his best to protect them. It seems likely that it
ws his information that sent the Potter's into hidding. I would assume
that Dumbledore made him a teacher when Voldemort lost his powers. This
would explain why Snape wants the DADA job but getting it would provide
too much cause for concern with some.
