In *his* day no decent young witch would probably have anything to do 
with him.  That's why they didn't go in the bushes :-)

It would be just like Snape to dress down Pansy Parkinson for 
sneaking into the bushes while letting Draco Malfoy get off scot 
free.  After all, he's a boy.

I thought it was really nasty of Snape to take 10 points each from 
Hufflepuff and ravenclaw because of the couple in the rose bushes in 
GoF.  Now it wasn't wrong perhaps to break it up before anyone got 
carried away in the school grounds, but to take points away was a 
typical piece of Snape nastiness.  Bet he wouldn't have taken any 
points away if a Slytherin male was involved.

Which leads to an interesting question.  Are all wizard children 
planned?  Or at least looked for?  I wouldn't be surprised if wizards 
had fairly simple contraceptive charms available to them.
