Sorry if this has been posted already - did a quick search of the 
archive and couldn't find anything.

It's been point out that "Severus Snape" is an anagram of 
"Perseus Evans" - is it possible he is Lilly (and Petunia's) brother?

Wild theory runs:
  Somehow Perseus hooks up with Voldemort, thinks the whole name
change thing is cool, and works out an anagram, which he becomes 
known by to everyone... Trying to distance himself from Petunia, even 
(in a nicely ironic way).
  In any case, he's essentialy a mini-DE at Hogwarts, and hates James 
at the crew for being 'good' - especially when Lilly gets sucked into 
it.. his little sister running around with Potter et al, and then - 
horror of horrors - starting to date him and eventually marry him.
  However, when Voldemeort bumps off James (no problem there) but 
then Lilly - that's too much for Snape. Perhaps he'd personally 
requested the V. didn't kill Lilly?

  It's probably not common knowledge that they're brother/sister, and 
Snape doesn't mention it - but he realises that V. et al are *really* 
bad, and he goes to Dumbledore spilling all the beans.

Might explain why Petunia is so anti-magic (her teddy bear turned 
into a snake by Snape?)

Ok, it's a little weak, I know - maybe Snape was seperate from the 
Evan's at birth, or something.
