Renee:
It look certainly possible to me. Why do we never get to see a 
portrait of mr. Black in OotP? Because Mrs. Black removed it after 
his death, knowing he'd been unfaithful to her? If Sirius's father 
is also Snape's father, the absence of his portrait would be most 
convenient if JKR wanted to surprise her readers in the next book: 
this way, Harry can't realise that Mr. Black is the man he saw in 
Snape's memory during the Occlumency lessons. I'm not sure, though, 
if Snape could inherit the Black estate if he were illegitimate, as 
much as I'd like to see him contest Sirius's will.

Magda developed this theory in the post 110109. I thought for a long 
time that Snape and Sirius or Snape and James can be related. Thi 
sure sounds like a good one.

And remember when Sirius shows Harry the tapestry? Harry could have 
missed few names on there surely. I do think that all of this blood 
relatedness of many pureblood families will lead us to new 
interesting discoveries.

JMO,
