Snape/Riddle-Voldemort

[Danielle Arnt]

No: HPFGUIDX 133864

Anyone else see any significance in the similarities between Snape and Riddle?

Mother--pure-blood witch and blood traitor (marrying a muggle man)
Father--muggle man who grew to despise wife (either leaving her or beating her)
Both extremely interested in the dark arts at school
Both wanted DADA job at Hogwarts and were denied it (until Snape and HBP)
Both power-hungry and arrogant
Both self-serving

Makes sense that they would fall in together.  My question is, how loyal is Snape to anybody?  Seems like he's just as likely to go after Voldemort's position as soon as the opportunity presents itself, then support him.
