Lyra here:
Well, during the time Snape was growing up (the 60s and 70s), long 
hair was the fashion for young men. I expect that is the reason he 
originally had it, anyway. And as time moved on, well... let's be 
honest, time just doesn't move on for Snape. He's never let go of 
high school grudges, why should he let go of high school fashion?

Lyra again:
Probably, since it's not described as greasy in "Spinners End" which 
is not told from Harry's point of view.

Lyra (who's brother is of Snape's generation and still wears a 
ponytail half way down his back. He's very unSnape-like, other than 
holding on to old fashions, happily)
