Romulus Lupin:
Actually, my Regulus/Severus ship came from someone thinking a 
Severus/Sirius ship was viable, and I leapt from there. JKR implied 
nobody would want Severus, and I guess this is for his past as a DE. 
I know a lot of posters don't think SS could have participated in all 
DE activities, but I don't agree. I'm sure *all* DE are tested on 
their willingness to use Unforgivables and participate in Muggle 
torture even before they're marked. And he bears the mark. That's why 
I don't think someone would become a DE "without real conviction".

Romulus Lupin. 
I never said theirs was a -once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. There may 
have been a lot of similar cases, we only know about Regulus because 
he's related to one of the characters. I'm not even saying I really 
believe in my theory (I actually wrote it as a joke, mostly), but the 
mnore I think about it, the more I believe it.  


Romulus Lupin, who usually abstains from Snape's threads because he 
doesn't like the potion master much
