Perhaps we're all reading the "halfblood" wrong? Because I've been thinking 
it over and I thibnk Snape is a pureblood *wizard* - but not necessarily a 
pureblood *Snape*

I really like the "Snape as Sirius' halfbrother" theory, so starting from 
that, what if he's a Halfblood *BLACK*?

Again, since the Blacks are such an ancient and renowned house, they may 
have a somewhat royal, or at least noble status. So a decendant from them 
could technically be viewed upon as a prince. But a Black that is part 
Snape? Surely he would be a halfblood (which in this case would be something 
quite different from a *mudblood*)

So Snape's parents may very well be wizards, both of them, but he and Sirius 
could still have the same father. OR mother. Just because the woman in 
Snape's memory was cowering doesn't mean she couldn't have evolved into 
nasty Mrs Black (though I personally do not think so, just keeping that 
possibility open too)

And just because Snape is "ugly" and Sirius is handsome... well, they're not 
twins and you do inherit traits from both your parents. I assure you my two 
children look very different and they  even have the same mother AND father)

Besides, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some may find Sirius ugly and 
Snape handsome...
