Yeah your probably right.  IT's still gross, he needs to get rid of 
the the greasy hair.

Now me:
 	 
Has anyone ever thought that perhaps Snape cultivated that look?  It 
certainly would put people off from getting too close to him.  His 
appearance makes the first impression.  He wears all black.  He is 
forbiding in his mannerisms.  And his behavior in his class on 
Harry's first day there would certainly seem to tell the students to 
back off.

I think that his appearance is to be equated with the "gothic" look 
that is popular among kids now.  When Harry stared into the pensieve 
he witnessed some of Snape's early childhood.  Seems to me that Snape 
was as neglected as Harry, but instead of taking the road that Harry 
is, he turned to the Dark Arts, and to put people off from getting 
too close for comfort, adopted his look.

Greasy looking hair doesn't necessarily mean poor hygene.

As Linda Richman would say, I'm ferklempt (sorry about the spelling), 
discuss...
