Hello,

> If he were a wizard, I doubt the Dursleys would ever mention him.

Well, not in the sense that they would have long discussion about them, but
in the sense that instead of being disgusted about only Lily, they would be
disgusted about both Lily and Snape.  E.g. the whole first chapter of
Philosopher's Stone/Sorcerer's Stone, instead of just Lily, they would have
been hating both Lily and Snape.

Also, if Snape bear *any* relation to Harry, you'd think that Dumbledore
would know and *tell* Harry, right?  I mean, it's not like the case of
Sirius Black where he's in Azkablan.  We're talking about someone that Harry
sees everyday.  And even if Dumbledore doesn't, I'm sure no matter how much
Snape loathes his brother, he'd have mentioned that Harry is his nephew when
he felt enough responsibility to Harry to save his life.  And even if
neither of them feels like telling Harry, which I think is pretty unlikely,
I'm sure *someone* would have mentioned it, unless there's some great
conspiracy not to tell Harry, which is, again, pretty unlikely.

> However, I say this only to nitpick.  I don't I believe for 1/10 of a
> second that Snape is related to Harry.  His only resemblance to James

Thank you!
