Just wanted to clarify that this didn't come from a JKR interview,
it's just something people have noticed on their own. Even so, as I
said it sounds way too good to be just a coincidence. Perseus -
starts
with P, has seven letters like Petunia.. could be a deliberate red
herring, perhaps, but personally I'll believe it means something
until
proven otherwise!
As for all my ponderings of what *happened*, they're probably just as
likely as the ones I cooked up before - with Sirius as Snape's
brother. However, my "favourite theory of the day" is that Snape was
in love with Neville's mum *Florence* (for Florence as Neville's mum,
check out post 45336 by hickengruendler), and therefore is the one
who Bertha Jorkins saw and got hexed by... so naturally that would
make Snape eternally jealous of Frank Longbottom who got the girl, and
hate Neville, who shouldn't even exist - that should have been *his*
son - whoa, hold on - maybe it is!! But does he know? Does Dumbledore
know? Was this all a part of Dumbledore's master plan? Tune in
tomorrow to find out! :)

twists out of other people's perfectly sensible theories)
