       No, we don't know. I suspect, however, that he asked not to be in 
Slytherin. given the parallels between the MWPP era and the current one, I suspect 
that other events occurred, with a twist. For example: Snape approaching the 
scion of the well-known Dark wizard clan, Sirius Black and being 
rejected...perhaps the source of the 'Snivillus' nickname? James and Sirius meeting on the 
Hogwarts Express, Sirius, perhaps, avoiding his cousins 
The conversation runs something like this: Can I sit here, everywhere else is 
full..intros...hey, aren't you part of that ESE Black clan? Yea...So, are you 
ESE? Nope..aren't you one of those saintly Potters? Yep so are you a saint, 
too? Nope... grins on both sides...Snape arrives, perhaps prodded by his 
parents to make friends with the powerful Black clan, handling it badly, being 
rejected. And I can't help but think, even with the age difference, that the 
laughing girl we hear in his mind is Bellatrix.
