Ah-hah! We all know that Snape takes 'bitter and twisted' to hitherto
unknown limits. We also know he was a Slytherin, with all that that
implies about towering ego, family pride etc, and that he's extremely
intelligent and highly skilled, though his interpersonal skills are
low to rock-bottom. It must be assumed that the man has a hormone or
two somewhere, and if he doesn't, what are Potions for?

Assume a marriage. To a good, respectable pureblood woman who'll bring
him his wand and slippers and say 'Yes, dear'.  Assume a child. Easy,
now, to assume the sense of expectation that such a child, of such
parents, will create.

Assume a Squib child.

Et voila! Every reason for the personality defects to intensify, and
the perfect reason not to have the child (OK, the son) enrolled at
Daddy's school -  or any other. So there goes the Durmstrang theory
... darn, I was getting quite fond of it ...

Deborah, preening modestly, aware that her guess is as good as anyone's!
