the most generous math, Snape's son, at 11--11 when Dad was 27, 
would have been *conceived* sometime during Snape's 15th year of 
life (incidentally, the same year as OWLs and when most of us assume 
the "prank' happened).x> Silverthorne/Anne

Potioncat:
Can't speak for Kneasy.  But I thought the fly zapping boy was our 
Snape.  The question is, in the other memory is the yelling man our 
Snape or is the crying child our Snape?  My mind is open. (which 
sounds better than to say I'm on the fence) I think it's more likely 
he is the crying child, but I think it could go the other way as 
well.

I also want to say, that it is an intense moment and one that Snape 
remembers strongly.  But it alone, does not mean there was abuse.


Potioncat who thinks of the fly zapping teen when trying to catch 
that darn fly on Jo's site!
