"Severus Snape," as I'm sure most of you know, is an anagram for  
Perseus Evans. This is basis for a lot of speculation, but I would 
just like to note Perseus the mythological hero loved a woman he  
rescued, named Andromeda. We are told Tonk's mother is named  
Andromeda early in the fifth book, by Sirius. So that's probably your 
best bet, and I wouldn't bet on this theory unless someone was 
threatening me with a slug-belching jinx.

Me :

Interesting theory... Probably completely wrong, but it opens 
fascinating fields of speculation... Let's say young Snape and young 
Andromeda had a love affair going on while still at school. She gets 
pregnant, but in the meantime he gets tangled in the DE mess. Maybe 
he doesn't even know she's pregnant. It was the 70s after all, that 
kind of thing happened all the time. Somehow and for whatever reason, 
she gets that Ted Tonks to marry her and recognize the child as his 
own. So Nymphadora becomes a Tonks when she should have been a Snape 
(or an Evans ?). Now the TRULY fascinating thing is this : where did 
she get her special automorphic-or-whatever-it-is-called power ? Is 
it a spontaneous mutation of some kind, is it completely non-genetic 
or is it inherited ? And if it is inherited, who did she get it 
from ? Her mother, or her father ? Could it be that Snape is a 
morphicthingy too ? Is that how he can go back to the DE and to LV 
without getting killed, and spy on them : because he doesn't go as 
Snape but as someone else ? Incidentally, is that also why he looks 
so horrible : because he wants to ? Oooh, so many exciting 
possibilities... Probably completely wrong, but so exciting :-)
