Me (Cassie):  

I've been thinking about this a lot.  Well, actually, I've been thinking 
about Young!Snape crying in the corner--but this is in the same vein XP 

I think this adds to my own theory.  Ever since I read the passage in 
Occlumency where Snape describes weak people I've wondered if he's speaking from 
personal experience.  An awkward outcast crying in the corner would seem like the 
weak people he's so venomous towards.
