Why  would Snape name himself Half-Blood, something that the people 
he  associated with would regard it with even more disgust?  It 
simply  does not fit with the puzzle. Hermione said that he is proud 
to be  half-a-prince but it does not sound logical to me. I am not 
sure if Snape  would chose a nickname that would make him even more 
unpopular that he  was, just because he is proud of his mother's  
blood. 


Julie:
I don't think anyone knew Snape's nickname for himself, did they? 
Snape only wrote it in the Potions book as far as we know, and 
maybe it was his secret nickname for himself, reminding him that
while he was half-blood he was also a "Prince." So there wouldn't
be any effect on his popularity, or lack thereof...(imagining for a
moment how much fun James and Sirius would have had tormenting
Snape over that nickname)...
