Unforgivable Curses and Underage Wizardry

Carol:

Why weren't the stunning spells detected? The
same reason that he was able to practice jinxes and curses at home
without being detected (before he was even legally of age to buy a
wand)--his parents were both magical and it would have been impossible
for the MoM to know who performed those spells. (What I want to know
is whose wand little Sevvie used to learn those hexes! Or maybe he got
his wand in January when he turned eleven and learned them all before
he went to school September 1!)

Anyway, clearly the MoM watches some households more closely than
others. There were, we can be pretty sure, no Muggles in the Snape
family household or anywhere nearby to witness the magic, and who
knows?

Snow:

Or maybe both of his parents weren't magical and his house, like Mrs. 
Figgs, isn't monitored or detected as a magical house. 


We have been told by JKR that dear Severus is not a pureblood (I 
believe in the World Book Day chat) but, imo,  could have been a 
product of a squid, which I particularly have voiced my opinion on 
the likelihood of Filch being Snape's father. It would give Snape the 
incentive to over excel as a youth to allow himself to be seen as 
worthy as a wizard who has the correct prestigious background to be 
appreciated or acknowledged. Always trying to prove himself worthy

kind of like being disappointed in being honored for catching Sirius. 

I think it fits Snape's profile
