It's a thought that is higly popular in fanfiction and actually has no
base in canon. Actually, Chapter 2 in HBP makes it clear that there is
no such relationship. When Narcissa pleads with Snape she does not
refer once to such a relation, though that would be a very good point
in favour of her case. The argument she uses is him being his
favourite teacher, which though it may be flattering does not give any
moral obligation at all.
