Now me:
 In the beginning of SS, prior to Harry receiving his letter, we find 
Petunia dyeing some of Dudley's old clothes for Harry's school 
uniform, and they are described as grey. (can't remember the exact 
quote, and I am at work).  Maybe at least while he was at school, 
Snape also had to suffer by wearing hand-me-downs.  When I first read 
this thread, I immediately made a connection with Harry, even though 
there may not actually be one there.
