frowned on wearing on muggle clothing. From the sounds of things, 
being a pureblood family was about the only thing they had to hold 
onto. And I can't really picture young Snape frolicking about 
in "play clothes" on his summer holidays. No wonder he sits around 
that filthy house shooting down flies!

Well, his undies could have been boxers, LOL!  I am not trying to be 
difficult, but...  some priests do not wear trousers or shirts... 
some only wear cassocks, with dog collars but no trousers or shirts.  
As much as I like Snape, I cannot imagine him frolicking as a 
child...period...  Now Lucius Malfoy seems to wear a combination type 
set of clothes.  Of course NOTHING muggle, but tousers, shirts, 
jackets/coats and cloaks.  All custom tailored, I'm sure ;-)
