OOP: Snape, the Pensieve, and "Perseus"

Just two points:

1. While I believe that Harry had no right prying into Snape's
memories (whether he left it out deliberately or not), I think
it was indefensible that he halted the Occulmency lessons.

2. I think the "Perseus Evans" theory can be salvaged, but Lily
clearly was not his "Andromeda"; and now I'm wondering if
*Andromeda* (Tonks' mum) was his "Andromeda"...?  So his relationship
with Lily was probably unknown to both of them, for whatever reason.
And now let's see if we can figure out why not!  (Separated at birth?
Son of Mr. Evans from a previous marriage?  Mr. Evans actually Snape's
squib uncle?  &c., &c.)  And of course speculate on what his heroic
connection with Andromeda might have been...
