I think this works. My own suspicion though, is based on the fact 
that when someone knows something they oughtn't - like Harry knowing 
about the Pensieve - they get blanked. When Snape holds a mere grudge, 
then he's a nasty piece of work. 
Which brings me to this.
The man in the pensieve, is Snape's father, and for this hypothesis,
I'm saying he's a DE. I suspect that his mother is innocent, and the
potions whizzkid.
The Longbottoms raid the Snape house, while Agnes is brewing, and
arrest Snape Senior. Agnes' work is interrupted, and we find that we
have something of a 'Fire and the Rose' situation. She is rendered
into a dog. Which makes me wonder if part of the reason for the
Longbottom's madness is revenge for an injury inflicted on one of
their own, who happened to be innocent
 
Angel wanders off, wondering whether JKR has been to Burton Agnes
Hall, where one of the ghosts is the grey lady. Burton Agnes is the
only village in England, where the name of the village derives from 
a personal first name, rather than that of a saint of the local 
church.
