In Message 43274 I posed my "wild theory" (because I can't stand the 
Snape+Lily thing) than Snape may have had a wife/lover and kid 
stashed somewhere, at the same time Lily and James were married, and 
had Harry. 

My idea was that Mrs. Snape and Severus Jr. died as a result of 
Snape's being a DE, and then being a spy. Then I went furthr and 
propesed the theory that wife/lover and kid died around the same 
time as the Potters, and that Snape hates Harry because Harry lived, 
and Snape's wife/lover and young'un didn't.

I also thought of the theory that the reason Snape turned was simply 
because he decided that with wife and the pattering of little feet 
to worry about, he had too much to risk.

-Acire, who is wondering if anyone else has a hard time 
associating "wizard" with "Snape".
