Karen:

You know I have also been thinking something along these lines as 
well lately. But most of mine is from interviews I've read from 
Rowling so....it could be totally wrong given the fact a couple 
could be taken to mean anything.

Oh yea, I didn't know Snape was not at Hogwarts during 
Christmas..somehow I though he was...I missed that...draws a blank 
as to where that is in the books?? Dang I wish my memory was better!

But back to the idea I was thinking. I remember in one interview I 
think someone asked if Snape was in love or loved someone..sorry I 
don't have the exact quotes guys, I'm just going by what I remember 
so this could be totally screwed up. But she said something to the 
effect of thats a bad idea and who would want him in love with 
them...I think she added we would find out why she said that later?
I know this is not an exact quote but its close I believe.
Then There was a question in an interview about were any of the 
staff at hogwarts married..and she said they were or some where and 
that we would find out more about it later.
The another question that caught my eye recently was why do Sirius 
and Snape hate each other so much...again the answer was sort of 
their is more to the story and you will find out why they hate each 
other.

So, I was thinking Perhaps Snape was married and his wife was 
somehow killed by Death Eaters or Voldemort for whatever reason. I 
had not though about the accident theory..somehow I was thinking 
maybe she was considered disloyal to the Dark Lord...but meh I don't 
know since this is all guessing.
But the quote about why would you want him in love with you that its 
a bad idea...it almost makes me thing....could he have been the one 
to get her killed because she...maybe switched sides or...something 
to that affect??

I was also thinking perhaps, from the last Rowling quote about 
Sirius and Snape hating each other....what if they were in love with 
the same girl? I know a lot of pepole suspect that Snape was in love 
with Lily...but what if there was someone else and Sirius might have 
been his rival...and not James.  It seems to me from the books that 
Sirius hates Snape more than James...but I guess that was because we 
only have a couple of things to show James, and he is dead, but we 
had Sirius alive for a while to have them confront each 
other...still this was just an Idea I had from one interview 
question..so I am probably way off mark.
