Black and Snape

With this questioning about Snape's blood, I wondered about something.

In GoF chapter Padfoot Returns, Black said in the cave "Snape has
always been interested in the Dark Arts."  From this, I left the
chapter wondering if Black and Snape had somehow grown-up knowing
about each other.  I know, those few words are not definitive proof,
but it did leave me wondering...

I wonder if Black and Snape are from wizard families that are not
necessarily close friends but are aware of each other and are civil.
The feud between Snape and Black does not seem to be one that was
inherited but rather started between themselves.  Maybe Snape and
Black went to the same wizard pre-school and from the beginning they
just crossed.  I know, I know I have no canon proof, but from that
conversation between The Three and Black, it seemed to me that Black
knows more about Snape than just as Hogwarts school chums.

I always saw them as equals in life.  They seem, to me, to be from
close to the same backgrounds, same education, same brilliance, same
cuteness (if Snape would wash the hair), hey, same hair color...

They both even have a fondness for hexes.  Black's recommendation on
the dragon in Task #1 was a hex after all, and he also wrote to Potter
advising him learn a few hexes for Task #3.  Seems Black knows how a
good hex can help as I am sure Snape knows from his extensive research
as a child. (*reading* all those books in his parents' library)  ;)

I just believe that Black and Snape are the from the same cookie
cutter but are decorated with different icing.  And they loath each
other for it.


Just the impression I had.
