Do you all think that with Snape's "filthy mudblood" remark, the
Severus Snape = Perseus Evans theory is now "not only merely dead,
it's really most sincerely dead"?  That anagram just *seemed* too
good to be a mere coincidence, and my hopes were actually elevated 
when I saw that one of Sirius' relatives is named "Andromeda" (Perseus
saved Andromeda from a sea monster in the Greek myth).  But I guess
it's unlikely, unless Snape is really Mark Evans' half-blood dad
whose Muggle father divorced Severus' mum and married Lily and
Petunia's Muggle mom.  (Got that?)

Me: 
What the? (sorry, australian joke)

Sorry, but the Perseus Evans theory is new to me... I must have 
nodded off in History of Magic again :-)

How cool is that - Severus didn't love Lily Potter, he was actually 
related to her.

My attempt at how this pans out:

So, Snape's dad is a muggle - let's call him Bob Evans - Marries 
Snape's mum - let's call her Jane Lestrange. 

Jane is exiled from the family for marriage to Bob the Muggle. She 
dies in childbirth while having young Perseus and his Father abandons 
him (out of grief for Jane) to grow up in an orphanage. Like Riddle, 
young Perseus changes his name out of disrespect for his muggle 
father to anagram Severus Snape (denouncing all that is muggle) - the 
Lestranges are non the wiser.

Meanwhile, Bob re-marries and had Lily and Petunia (some of Jane's 
magic must have "rubbed off" on Bob though as he produces a magical 
daughter)

Now, when Snape hears Tom Riddle's story, it is so similar to his own 
(down to the name change), he immediately joins his gang of Death 
Eaters, only to find out that their goals are not his goals - he just 
wants to go about hating muggles, he never thought there would be 
killin's.

So, Snape leaves the death-eaters to join Dumbledore in defence of 
what is right - but still with his bitter and twisted upbringing and 
Slytherin outlook on life.

Whether or not he realises he is related to Lily doesn't matter, the 
name "Evans" brings back all the hatred of what his father did to him 
and so he hates her - calling her a "Filthy MudBlood".

Later he finds out that he *is* in fact Lily's half brother (she 
doesn't know, but he recognises her father from an old photo), so not 
only does he have James to hate (for his mistreatment), but Lily the 
mudblood too - this adds weight to his hatred of 1/2 nephew Harry. 
Snape's "dead beat" muggle father goes on to produce (through 
Lily) "The Famous Harry Potter" - Snape get's nothing and Harry gets 
Fame.

I haven't enjoyed a conspiricy theory like this in ages
