Miz Storge':
These two passages are my basis for ProtoGoth!Snape. At the time 
Snape and the Marauders (please, don't ever name your band that!)were 
at Hogwarts, Punk was leading into other styles, like New Romantic 
and Goth. IMHO, our young Severus started affecting the greasy hair 
and black robes as a fashion statement, and just never changed. Maybe 
Severus still hangs out at Goth clubs and the chicks are all over him 
because of the cool evil sorcerer look, just like some fans are 
rather fond of Alan Rickman's portrayal of Snape. And try to hold 
that image in your mind for a few seconds...

Lynette, who's more a fan of the big-hair Gryffindor look herself.
