There could be an additional explanation for Snapes' behaviour, not 
that I'm disagreeing with any of the others. He could be part Vampire!
I am new and apologize if this has come up before, but ...
	It would account for his rotten disposition, as a result of being 
forced to keep what to him are unnatural hours, he's always prowling 
around the schood at night, people keep comparing him to a bat, he 
bears a resemblance to Viktor Krum, who comes from Eastern Europe and 
has extraordinary flying abilities (yes, I think Vicky's one too, 
Hermione is in for a shock!) but back to Snape, it would explain all 
that business about Quirrel and the garlic, and give him a really
deep-seated ancestral reason to hate werewolves, and a nice
motivation for hating Harry and James, because, as he says somewhere, 
Potter does as he pleases. . Snape, IMHO, has instincts he dare not 
indulge...at least at Hogwart's anyway.
