Am I the only one who thinks Snape writes sappy poetry in his spare 
time?  Remember his potion portion of the puzzle (alliteration is 
fun!) in SS/PS - the poem accompanying the little bottles?  And this 
bit at the beginning of his first class...  I think he was a very 
sensitive little kid, with a dark imagination, and that even now he 
writes horrible Fleurs du Mal of his own in secret.
Ok, so I've revealed my insanely fanciful side once again, then.  My 
work here is done.
