Chris:
I worked as an intern in an environmental lab one
summer. If I didn't wash my hair every other day
(because every day made my hair explode), I could have
oiled my car with the greasy build-up. Normally, I do
not have greasy hair, but the chemical buildup in the
air made it that way. 

I don't know if the potions experimentation is the
reason why Snape has oily hair, but, yes, it is very
possible that is the reason.

Chris:

Again, if teenage Snape was into potions enough to
become the teacher (or master, depending on other
conversations here), he would have spent alot of time
in the potions wing/room. 

That, and we see him as a teen at the OWLs time. I
know my hygene suffered greatly at finals time. If
Snape didn't care what others thought, why would he
wash his hair when he could be studying? I get the
impression Snape was just as studious as Hermione as a student.
