agdisney:
I've read where some think that Madam Pince could be Snape's mother.  
How about a thought that Filch could be his father?  It's stated that 
his father is a muggle - instead maybe a squib.  When Snape gets 
bitten by Fluffy in SS, he goes to Filch for help.  Like a child will 
go to a parent?  If DD was trying to keep Snape's parents safe from 
LV in the event that Snape gets caught, what better place then 
Hogwarts?  Also, they do go together to DD funeral.  Can this be why?
