I did mention that this unfortunate incident happened on Snape's very 
first day at school.

I did mention that he was ambitious to learn all the magic there was 
to learn.

That's true, love potions aren't allowed at Hogwarts, not now. And 
now you know why. An accident like that would certainly make people 
rethink what is taught and how.

Because he wouldn't be very interesting then.
