Severus was a Slytherin.  I would think that not only would true 
Slytherin parents not want someone that was not a former Slytherin as 
HoH, but I would think that DD has chosen former students from the 
houses to be the HOH's...look at the others, McGonagall is prime 
example of Gryffindor, Flitwick is perfect for Ravenclaw, and with 
what little is shown for Hufflepuffs and Professor Sprout, how could 
you doubt that she was a Hufflepuff at school?  So that said, Severus 
is also a perfect example for Slytherin...he has the thirst to prove 
himself, and given not only his feelings towards James, but what we 
see concerning his father, he probably feels that he has a lot to 
prove, especially to his father.  I started to add that he is 
probably pure-blood and I still think that he probably is, but I 
started to think that this may help explain why he hated James so 
much....maybe he was abused because he wasn't pure-blood...maybe his 
father didn't realize that his mother wasn't pure-blood and took it 
out on Severus.   And then seeing perfect, happy James would only 
serve to rub in the fact that he would never be good enough for his 
father.

Oh, but we don't know whether other Slyhterin parents know about 
Snape's house. I mean, yes, Malfoy sure knows , but those who did not 
go to school with him - not necessarily .


I would not even agree that McGonagall and Flitwick are perfect 
examples of their houses. Sure, they don't look like Slytherins to 
me, but can you say that McGonagall is very smart and Flitwick is 
very brave.

We now know that many people have mixed qualities. I mean, with Harry 
Hat had its doubts whether his house would be Slytherin or 
Gryffindor, Hermione was almost sorted in Ravenclaw.

To me it is not that bif of a stretch to believe that Severus was in 
Gryffindor.

I aks again, why would Sirius be upset that Severus became Malfoy 
lapdog? Why did he care?

How Sirius got to sepnd so much time with Severus to be persuasive 
enough to  lure him into Shrieking Shack?

I don't know - I think it would be an interesting revelation at the 
end of the series if Snape will turn out a Gryffindor.  I thought 
for  along time that either Sirius was a Slytherin or severus was a 
Gryffindor.

As we all know JKR effectively killed "Sirius was in Slyhterin" part 
at the chat, but I still think that Snape may turn out to be a 
Gryffindor.

Yes, he has plenty of Slytherin ambition, but also a lot of courage, 
so it could be an interesting surprise for Harry.

Consider also this despite the fact that JKR finally started talking 
about house unity, Gryffindor is her favourite house and Slytherin 
house is still a caricature (unfortunately)


If Snape will turn out to be a good guy at th end, I think it makes 
sense for him to be a Gryffindor.
