Could Snape be part goblin?

where has he gone? Well, the other two people on dangerous missions 
that summer were Lupin and Hagrid, both liasing with non-human 
beings. So I wondered if Snape were doing the same thing for the same 
reason. Isn't there supposed to be a pattern of threes in the HP 
books? In that case it would be logical for him to be liasing with 
the goblins, as the other major non-human race mentioned in the 
books.<snip>

Berit replies:

Interesting theory, Khilari :-) The only objection I've got is that 
we already know of someone who is sent by Dumbledore to "liaison" 
with the goblins: Bill Weasley. Of course Snape could be on the job 
too, but why would it be a secret that he's on the case, and not a 
secret that Bill is working on it? after all; the children are 
allowed to listen in on Bill's reports from his dealings with the 
goblins. But no mention of Snape.
