Half-muggle Snape makes me think of the second-generation Pakistani
boys I see walking around Whitechapel in robes and beards and little
hats, while their parents who were actually BORN in Asia are much more
naturalized.  He's alienated from both worlds;  like a lot of
second-generation immigrants, he seems to be going to huge effort to
more Authentic than even anybody in the home country is.

"Billy Eliot"!  The kid in it is more Dracoish in looks but he has the
weird intensity I guess kid Snape would have had.  It's also has great
shots of crap row housing like that in Spinner's End.
