SWAN, SIDD, and SILL: Wild Snape Scenarios

Okay, I've written quite a few posts about realistic!Snape.  Just for
fun, lets look at some Bangy!Snape possibilities.

I like the whole SWAN scenario from Pippin (like in terms of finding
it interesting and amusing).  It does answer some things.  I think the
Snape-as-half-vampire thing has been shot down in flames by JKR, but
the rest works.  But why stop at the idea that Draco is the son that
Snape wanted to have.  Why can't he BE Snape's son?  He is described
as pale, thin, and having blond hair.  That describes Lucius, but also
Narcissa.  Draco could just take after his mother like Harry takes
after his father.

Now, if Draco IS Snape's son (let's call it SIDD, Snape is Draco's
Daddy) wouldn't that be a pip?  Snape's hatred of Harry escalates year
after year because he sees his own son constantly humiliated at the
hands of James' brat.  The past is replaying itself before his eyes,
and once again Dumbledore is standing aside and beaming benignly while
a Snape is abused and humiliated by a Potter!   

The problem with SWAN or SIDD is that, under these scenarios, why does
Snape not do more to wean Draco away from Voldemort?  But they both
would make for interesting bangs.

Now, let me give you a REAL bang.  What if it isn't Narcissa Snape
loves?  What if it's Lucius?  Lets call that one SILL (Snape is
Lucius' Lover).  

SILL has the same advantage as SWAN and SIDD in explaining why Snape
favors Draco, although it has the same disadvantage as well with
regard to why Snape doesn't try to wean Draco from Voldemort.  But
SILL explains even better why Snape starts at Harry's mention of
Lucius.  He is terrified his beloved his about to be sent to Azkaban.
 It also could explain how Snape could be the "one who has left me
forever" and still retain good relations with the Malfoys.  Lucius is
in effect torn in loyalty.  He still believes in Voldemort, but cannot
let go of his love for Severus.  Ah, the power of the human heart!  A
single tear rolls down my cheek as I think of it.

Yes, this type of thing can be a WHOLE lot of fun.
