As a matter of fact I have an opinion on the matter :)!  I stated on 
an earlier post that if Snape is related to Agnes and he, infact, is 
trying to cure her, perhaps he is the person who invented the 
Wolfsbane potion. It would have been an accident of course, but 
imagine the angst Snape would have felt about helping Lupin. 

In my original post on the subject I suggested that perhaps Agnes is 
suffering from a family curse that only effects the women and there 
are others in his family who have suffered the same destiny.  Perhaps 
Snape is related to the Lovegoods and Luna's mother, who liked to 
experiment with her spells, was desperately trying to save herself 
from the same fate. I also believe that Neville is going to do 
something rather fabulous with his knowledge of herbology, perhaps 
inventing the very potion that saves Snapes mother from her terrible 
curse.  

Far fetched, of course, but I would love for Snape to have to eat 
some form of crow for all of the torment he has heaped on Neville.

Sue, who promises not to repeat herself again :)!
