Oh you are always interesting!
Ok, you want intersting--how's this? Now we're throwing in completely 
non-canon, off-the-cuff, out-of-this world unlikelihoods here but 
what if:
It's been noted here more than once that many of the DEs mentioned by 
name have children at HW. It's been suggested that Voldy 
um...suggested strongly...that his faithful followers...um...go forth 
an multiply. Now this is generally thought to be important because so 
many of thise kids (Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle,etc) are Harry's age. We 
thought maybe, just maybe there was some prophecy....
What if it's just that one's...um...dues...yes we'll just say dues 
for now...is well, contributing another purebreddarkwizard to the 
ranks? Hmmm? So, VERY young Snape, ever eager to please, does 
whatever it takes ("potion up a booty call" I believe was mentioned 
here once--a turn of phrase which I shall never forget) to produce 
his...ah...contribution.
BUT ALAS! The witch of his choosing has had the temerity to 
produce...GASP! A SQUIB! Not suitable at all! 
Perhaps even material to be done away with. 
Doing away with one's wife (status negligible in this case) and 
child, or 
giving them up to be done 
away with, would certainly count towards free admission to the front 
row of DE theater, wouldn't you think?

Well it's no worse than the vampire stuff, really!

And it speaks to the *"Look what you made me do!"* theory of why 
Snape turned AGAINST Voldy in the end. If he did.

Melpomene--always willing to be creative, as long as it's recongnised 
as such.
