Sorry if this point has been covered in more detail elsewhere - I 
did a serach but couldn't find anything, so...

I love this so much, I really want it to be true! It would explain 
why Snape is happy to live his life in the dungeons, and why his 
office is so badly lit - and why JKR so often refers to his strange 
eyes.  As another poster said; he is always in the shadows.  He even 
finds shadows to lurk in in Lockhart's office in CoS.  It would also 
explain why he managed to wander along for so long and settle down 
apparantly unconcern in such close proximity to his usual tormenters 
in the pensieve - I've always wondered why he'd sit himself down so 
close to MWPP and this might explain why he just didn't see them in 
the bright sunlight.  

However, I've been looking, and I can't find any hint in any of the 
other books that suggests Snape has poor eyesight in any light 
conditions.  Specifically, I can find a few counter-examples.  His 
eyesight is good enough to referee a Quidditch match in broad 
daylight, and good enough to keep his eyes focused on Harry while he 
performs the counter-jinx to Quirrell's.  If anyone can find any 
examples that even hint at poor vision, I'd be thrilled and 
delighted if they'd share
