Caesian:
Well, actually, he inherited his greasy hair from his estranged family, 
Mr. Borgin of Knockturn Alley (post # 96654) ;-).  I quote:
It seems ridiculous to think that J.K.R., who mentions Sirius Black in 
the first chapter of the first book, has not already provided us with 
more background than we realize on Snape. My own pet theory is that he 
is the estranged son of the greasy-haired Mr. Borgin, proprietor of 
Knockturn Alley's Borgin & Burkes. Obsession and great knowledge of the 
dark arts? Inferior status to the likes of wealthy pureblooks like the 
Malfoys? Greasy hair? And why else are we aquainted with Mr. Borgin?

Cheers,
Caesian
