All we know for sure is that Snape has what we assume was a father,

parents.  For all we know it could have been HIM, his wife and their 
child....  uh oh...  new conspiracy/spy theory...  what if it WAS 
him and he was angry because his wife and son were in danger or

That doesn't make sense.  If the man were Snape, I'm pretty sure 
Harry would have reconized him.

Since it's Snape memory, he has to be there so he has to be the boy 
(unless he's the woman :p).

However, you're right that we have no proof these were his parent.  
I think they were though.
