I prefer the Regulus Theory that was the reason why Snape turned. I
used a lot of "what do we know based on what the books state" to
support that theory and timelines. It at, least, demostrates that
Snape isn't just a love-sick fool, which just isn't in his nature - 
which is why I reject the Snape/Lily theory. And anyways, isn't 15 
years long enough for him to get over this?


like I said, it could be they are cousins - nothing cannon about it,
but there isn't anything else contradicting it either :)  Petunia 
seems to resemble Snape in both looks & temperment.
