I have actually toyed with that idea. I didn't think it had anything 
to back it up though. Anything solid, anyway. It could be a reason 
why he turned though. But see below.

Actually, Snape IS the same age as the Marauders, and even if James 
and Lily had Harry pretty early, it is entirely possible that Snape 
could have married or had a lover or something, and had a kid the 
same age as Harry...hmm. Could THAT be a reason why Snape hates 
Harry so much? Because Harry lived, and Snape Jr. didn't?

Okay, here's an off-the wall theory, my first, actually: What if 
Mrs. Snape and Snape Jr. died around the same time as Harry's 
parents, just because of Snape being an ex-DE? Especially since we 
think Snape was one of the spies to tip the Potters off. Perhaps 
Voldie found out about Snape being unfaithful, and decided to punish 
him? 

Then, if Snape had wife/lover and Snape Jr. to worry about, perhaps 
that's why he turned? Though that actually isn't as strong a reason 
as the Missus and Snape Jr. dying being what turned Snape. However, 
he oculd have decided that he had too much to risk? 

Okay, feel free to...kill my theory. ::cringes back into her
