I guess I will reply to myself in hopes of keeping Eileen's thread
going - it probably isn't permissible so I'll accept the handslap
gracefully if it comes.

I see that posters are now discussing the three memories in the
pensieve. Even this can be tied to Eileen. Although I think the Snape
memory Harry snooped in OoP was hidden from Harry, I think the other
two were hidden from Voldemort looking through Harry. And I speculate
those two memories were

1) Snape's legilimens view of his own mother's memory of the Voldemort
attack on the Snape family (legilimensed off of Eileen, possibly Dog
Lady at St. Mungo's)

and 

2) The memory of the discussion with Lily at Lily's house right after
Snape saw #1. In this memory Snape verbally vows to defeat Voldemort
no matter the cost. And this is the conversation with the 'awful boy'
that Petunia overheard. 

There is pretty much no part of the main plotline that I cannot have
tie into the idea that Snape is bent on revenge (and consumed by hate)
in his quest to avenge his mother. It can even explain a visit to the
St. Mungo's locked ward in a book that is considered overly long but
JKR has said she doesn't think she could have cut anything out. Seeing
the Longbottoms was moving, but I don't see why it was strictly
necessary for the overall plot. We know they aren't going to do
anything themselves. But the basis for Dumbledore's trust in Snape?
That is the HUGE outstanding question and unrequited love or regret
for romantic love lost doesn't fit with JKR's focus that good and evil
in large part stem from one's childhood and whether one was loved by
parents.

Abergoat sighs:
A little too far-fetched for everyone? Too bad. At least it fits with
the tarot theory of 'sword, coins, cup and wand'.
