Tonks here:

Sounds goods. I noticed the hair thing with Mr. Borgin too and 
thought of Snape. But Borin can't be his father because of the last 
name. Maybe Mr. Borgin is Snape's grandfather. Snape's mother is 
Borgin's daughter. She may or may not have married a Muggle. I 
suspect that she just married a wizard who was poor. Or maybe she 
was a widow with a young child and lived with her father. (and the 
pensive scene was of Grandfather, mother and Snape.)  Maybe Snape's 
father was killed by LV and he didn't find out till after he joined 
the DE himself and that is why he is no longer a DE. Or if his 
father was a DE and Mr. Borgin did not approve of LV, this would 
explain the pensive scene too.
