If you mean that Snape must be a "pure blood" because he couldn't have
impersonated one as Voldemort did, I agree completely. He seems to
have come from a line of dark wizards given the glimpse we receive of
his cruel father and the fact that he knew more curses than most
seventh years when he entered Hogwarts as a child of eleven. His
mother, who seems terrified of his father, may have been a squib, but
I doubt it. In any case, it's extremely unlikely that she was a muggle.
