<Snip lots of reasons why Snape is never seen eating at Grimmauld
Place: Vampiracy, Suspiscion, Pureblood conventions, Florence in a
flowery pinny holding Little Sev, eating with his dear old mum
instead>
I think that someone proposed another reason when this topic came up
immediatly post-OoP, concerning warrior culture. The theory was that
Snape wouldn't eat/accept hospitality at the house of his enemy,
because that would put him in said enemy's debt. Another one
suggests itself to me too: he simply didn't like the company. The
only person we see him having any sort of interaction which could
possibly be construed as friendly with at all is McGonagall, and she
only made one visit to Grimmauld Place over the summer (evidence for
a possible Mr McGonagall? I do hope he's called William). It would
be very difficult for Snape to maintain his strange and not-terribly-
wonderful relationship (for whatever reason it exists) with HRH
after crushing a cup of wine with them.
