since at least one of Snape's parents 
was  pureblood, it suggests the possibility that he is related to 
the Malfoys.  It's not a certainty in my mind.  However, if they 
were  related, it would not shock me.

be Half Blood as well.  So that either one of his parents was Muggle 
born or one of his parents  was a Muggle (less likely, I think.)
