Tammy:
Another possible inadvertent hint is in the Luna-Snape question. I
found it interesting that she said "Snape does not have a daughter."
She didn't say Snape doesn't have kids, she said he doesn't have a
daughter. The conspiracy theorist in me says that it means he does
have a son (mmm... Harry? wait, she already said no to that one...
mmm... Neville! HAH! that's it!)

-Tammy, who wants Snape to have a son somewhere - even if he's the
so-called "good slytherin"
