Actually, I always thought the story Snape told DD involved the death of
someone he loved by the hands of the DE's. But I picture his wife: one of
the old Slytherin gang who joined the DE along with the others but without
real conviction and then tried to back out and was killed. The only canon to
support this is the fact that Snape always wears black.



I think your theory is out-there only because if Regulus and Snape's stories
are one and the same then might seem like an isolated case within the DE's.
And I'm sure there were several cases like of the kind.



I rather believe Regulus' story is a clue to Snape's story.



Snape's story and the stories of those eventually close to him will probably
be one of the most interesting and significant issues in the Potterverse - I'm a believer in the "George" and "GEORGE'S SISTER DIANA" theories (that can
be found in Fantastic Posts and Where to find them, under Hypothetic Alley).
