Kneasy:
Wooing? Snape wooing? Not likely. 
A touch of the old slap and tickle maybe; in  fact that's why I paired him
up with Florence -  heavy breathing behind the greenhouses; adolescent
ardour overcoming parental strictures; premature nuptials and well, these
little accidents can happen even in the best regulated of families. Bertha
was spying on them of course - no  wonder she got  hexed. There are
times when the last thing you want is an unwelcome spectator.

Not much romance in that sad affair. But still, Snape would consider
his family to be his business and would not brook interference by
outsiders. He may not be a perfect model of a family man but he'd be
extremely territorial  in his attitudes. And if Voldy or any DE acting on
Voldy's orders zapped his wife and child he'd go ballistic. A Venetian
vendetta with skull-duggery, betrayal and knives in the back would be
a picnic by comparison. His pride would demand that accounts must
be balanced. 
Think Titus Andronicus - death and destruction, blood and guts
everywhere - now there's a revenge to savour. A bit over the top for
Harry Potter but with luck we may  finish the series with a similar
reduction in the head count.

Won't that be fun?
