Snape shares his birth day with none other than the 37th President of 
the United States, Richard M. Nixon (born 1913). Stephen Ambrose, one 
of Nixon's biorgraphers, described Nixon as "heroic, admirable and 
inspiring while being simultaneously dishonorable, despicable, and a 
horrible example." Sounds like an excellent description of Snape as 
well!
