I'm not sure whether it's canon, but I formed the impression that the young
Snape was hanging around with a group of rather older Slytherins who in turn
we get the impression were of the aristocratic sort.

Someone else posted (I forget whom) quite a long post arguing that Snape
socially was not from an aristocratic background.

Taken together these things would support the thought that the Slytherin
gang valued Snape's abilities at hexing and the like, though they didn't
regard him exactly as a member of their inner circle.

"Snape, we've got a little firsty here. Come and show us that
fill-your-pants jinx again."
