Im not sure about this whole name theory. There is'nt evidence in 
the book that i have found to really support this very well.  I 
would think if Harry and Severus Snape were related in some way or 
had a connection other than Order of the Phoenix that it would have 
been brought up before then or when Harry discovers the order 
exists. I am just not completely sure that I can buy this, no matter 
how original a thought this is. :0)
