Interesting.....you never know with JKR, and we know she's 
deliberately concealing information about Professor's spouses.
However, in the Pensieve scene with Snape and his parents, McGonagall 
would be in her early forties, and surely Harry would have recognised 
her? And I'm sure the Marauders would know if MM was SS's mother. 
Without the books to hand I can't go over their interactions, but 
what sort of things would it explain?
As for DD, I'm betting he was married to a muggle.
