Now me (Cindy):

I absolutely had to reply to this post! I also think that Severus is 
related to Phineas! They are so alike - if you were only to hear 
there comments, without any other descriptive details - you would not 
be able to tell them apart!

My theory about Severus is that -
 he is a pureblood. Firstly - he called Lily a "filthy mudblood", and 
that reminds me of how Draco (pureblood) called Hermione a "filthy 
little mudblood". He is also the HEAD of Slytherin house - and good 
friends with Lucius Malfoy. This is obvious because he calls Draco by 
his first name, he hung around Lucius in school - and he is still 
friends with Lucius (remember Sirius Blacks' 'lapdog' comment).

If all pureblood families are interrelated, it is very possible that 
Severus is somehow related to the Malfoy's. I really believe that 
Severus and Phineas are closely related. They look the same, behave 
the same and use the exact same language and words, phrases and tones.

I have concocted a small theory about Severus's family life, and 
believe that his parents were poor because his father believed that 
being a pureblood wizard was enough - that working was something for 
half-bloods and house-elves. So his father, Severus and his mother 
lived off their old family heirlooms. That would explain why his 
mother was always arguing with his father, and also why Severus is 
such a serious perfectionist, because he does not want to be like his 
father.

I also think that it is very possible that the man with sallow-skin 
in St Mungo's could be Severus's father, and that Severus might have 
even caused the irreversible spell damage - perhaps whilst protecting 
him self, or his mother.
