DD, and his life prior to becoming Potions master - especially while 
a DE?"

Agreed.
I always felt this was a little disappointing as a worst memory. I 
assumed JKR was writing to the kids on this one, that she had a 
momentary lapse of imagination. Could Snape's life post Grey 
Underwear Incident really have been so dull?

Maybe there *is* more to it than meets the eye...but what??
