Well, I definatly think he could have been in Ravenclaw. But I imagine
that even as a boy, Snape was *sneaky*, perhaps as a survival response to
a childhood spent doing whatever he pleased without incurring his
father's anger.[*] Someone once said they imagined Snape's bodytype as
snake-like, good for lurking in the shadows and slipping places
unnoticed. So while intelligence and studiousness are virtues to Snape,
sneakiness and underhandedness are his lifeforce. :) And livelihood,
considering he's been a spy for, well, more than 15 years, in a way. I'm
of the opinion that he's been sucking up to Malfoy all these years
because Snape, like DD and Neville's gmom, expected Vold to return.

<snort> I bet he can't stand the Hufflepuffs. Too nice. He shouts at
them, and they never shout back. Clearly they're plotting something, no
one's that nice.

[*] I think the pensieve scene had to have been Snape's father yelling at
someone, probably Snape's mother. If the "man" had been Snape, then who
would the cowering, dark-haired child have been? Unless you want to
theorize that Snape has a son.... in which case, theorize away. 'Cause
how fun (er, I mean, horrifying) would that be?
