Potioncat:
Snape is mentioned at meals several times, but he's never mentioned 
as not eating.  The only comment I can think of is that Ron says 
Snape never eats at 12 Grimmauld Place. However, it seems to me 
there are a lot of people who don't eat at HQ.

Of course, JKR probably pointed it out for a reason.  Maybe he 
thinks the place is too dirty with Dark Magic. Maybe it's because he 
doesn't want to eat with Black....
