Charme snipped:

I have always found the James/Snape relationship to remind me of 
Sirius'
mindset when in OoP he's explaining the Black ancestry tapestry and 
he is
defensive that he's not proud to be related to the infamous DE's in 
his
family. I'm sure we've all known people who are related in some 
fashion who
have dysfunctional relationships like James and Snape, so I don't 
think it's
outside the realm of possibility.

Perhaps there's some other character who could also fall under this 
context
of half-blood.....

Snow:

Actually, Charme, this logic falls in line somewhat to what I had 
been recently thinking about Snape. I very much doubt anyone will 
like my referencing but
Snape, as I see him, was most likely a 
Gryffindor (which is basically beside the point
right now). His 
embarrassing father to him is mentioned in every book. Snape is the 
product of a squib marriage; Filch.

Why did Severus ask Filch with help when Fluffy attacked him? If 
Filch were Severus' dad in the scene that Harry saw when Snape's dad 
was freaking on his mom, I can definitely see Filch being Mr. 
Aggressive. Filch is that way with the students. 

Stay with me here
 don't be one of those people who don't read but 
just wait for their turn to talk
;-)

Try to look at it from James point of view of Snape
 "It's the fact 
that he exists (as the son of a squib)"

Or
Snape saying to Lily you're a mudblood but thinking I am just a 
bit more than even you
Or Snape attempting to prove himself because of his father who is a 
squib
Or Snape, a Gryffindor student, who is always trying to prove himself 
or be accepted and no one allows it
Except James
 who saves him and 
now he feels indebted to the one person who always messed with him, 
who he always hated because of jealousy, who knew who he really was 
and whom Snape was related to; Filch
and yet James saved him. 

I don't know that I explained this well but if you think about it
 
what a twist! And I sincerely think it does fit.
