<snipped and edit for easy reply>

Adding a new theory I just though of here first:
Also another idea I have just had is, based somewhat on the theory 
of Snape being loyal to dumbledore, and somewhat on Snape having a 
son that was killed, What if Snape, did something to try and Save 
Neville/Harry/ or Both or the Potters or something for the order 
that involved one of them (harry/neville), I don't have any idea 
what, this is just an idea, but what if in doing so he got his own 
child/family killed because of those actions. Could that not be a 
very good reason why he might dislike/hate Harry and/or Neville so 
much, because he sees them as the reason his child/family is dead. 
Or, when he looks at them he might find it hard because his own 
child would be their age...etc etc.

Ok on with my reply.

Maybe the reason is the child is in hiding, I guess this one could 
fall under #4, so, my theories are multitasking.

KarentheUnicorn's Reply: I agree, but I'm sure she knows by saying 
daughter, we are going to start going..hummmm...cause when I first 
read it, I though, daughter? why didn't she say kids or children. 
Actually I had never heard the Luna being Snapes child theory, I 
only went to the website actually because on the Lexicon it listed 
Sprout as having a birthday, and I clicked on the link..and stared 
to explore. So Sprout's first name is...isan't that a city? <laughs>

KarentheUnicorn's Reply: Maybe I should have made this one as two 
theories, I was thinking maybe it is a child at hogwarts,and also at 
the same time was thinking the kid might not be at hogwarts, and to 
connect Theory #5 and add a new twist, maybe neither of them know 
about each other..meh..well, if it was Severus Snape, instead of 
Harry Potter books, I'd say it'd make a great story..anywayz.

KarentheUnicorn's Reply: Yea, I agree, but this is just fun theory 
ideas that poped into my head....its a nice slow day....but hay it 
gave me a good idea for my fanfic..so Here's to wild theories.

KarentheUnicorn's Reply: Yes, the only problem I keep running into 
is, I would think Snape would surly have his son at Hogwarts as a 
student, unless he is at another school for his protection. So it 
would be somewhat strange to consider the kid just showing up. But 
here is another idea. What if the child was born after the Voldy 
downfall, what if, during the time of peace Snape had a bit 
of..well...either fun...or just...well did something wreckless. We 
obviously know he can be wreckless, I mean, why would he follow the 
advice of Sirius if he was not a little wreckless, of course we have 
to wait and see what idea JKR comes up with to explain this...but 
going on that, maybe he just met a witch or muggle he liked durning 
the time of peace...had a one night stand, never saw her again, and 
then...suddenly here is a first year kid, looking exactly like a 
little Snape, and well, you know---this doesn't sound like a kids 
book anymore so--I digress...but it sure sounds like a good fanfic 
idea.

KarentheUnicorn's Reply:
Yes, I agree. Its hard to see what would make Snape change sides, 
what would cause him to move his loyalty, since, he seems quite 
loyal, for the most part, to Dumbledore. I know that some say he is 
not, but, its hard to see why he would do some of the things he has 
done in the book, if he was not loyal to Dumbledore. Though, their 
are so many reasons given by others for this change. It just seems 
to me a child would be a very good reason for that sort of loyalty.
