I think they were though.

I figured they were his parents as well, LOL!  I just cannot pass up 
a conspiracy theory...  I don't think it said Harry saw the man from 
the front.  If he didn't see the man's face, depending on how many 
years ago this was, Snape may have sounded a bit different as well, 
since voices change as we age, evn throughout adulthood.  It is odd 
and sad to think of Snape as a little dark haired boy cowering in a 
corner...
Lynne, reminding herself this is only fiction...  LOL!
