And according to Post 6741 (I know this is mentioned in the books but
I don't know where), she "Refuses to favour Gryffindor above other
houses."

Which got me to thinking--you know, if Snape is roughly the same age
as the Marauders, he couldn't have been on staff for very long. So
who was the Head of Slytherin House before Snape? Could it have
been...

dum dum DUM...

Minerva McGonagall??? <snip>

----Me----
I would think the head of a house would be someone who had been it in that
house when they were in school.  It also wouldn't make any sense.  If a
teacher is head of a house, why wouldn't they remain head of that house?
Why would they move to another one, especially to make way for someone
younger?  I would think that a person that is head of one of the houses
would remain so until they retired, moved up (headmaster) or asked to be
relieved of that duty.  If they asked to be releived of the duty (i.e. due
to advanced age), they certainly wouldn't want to take on another.

I think McGonagall is toughest on her own house because she expects a lot
out of them.  She also probably goes out of her way to make it clear that
she doe *not* play favorites, which means she is more severe with her own
students.
