Potioncat:
Well, the problem with a character like Eileen, is that there's very 
little canon to base theories on and we're not 100% certain of what 
little there is. So, at best, it's hard to tie your ideas about 
Eileen to canon.

Everything we've seen leads to more questions rather than less.

Was that her in Snape's memory? If so, who was the man?

Did her picture show a girl with an unpleasant personality or was she 
upset about something at the moment the picture was taken?

Did she teach Severus about Dark Arts? If not, then who?

How did she meet Tobias? How did they fall in love? Did they fall in 
love?

Did she live at Spinner's End? Where those her books?


How I did want Agnes to be Snape's mother. There was only one 
question about her. How did she get a dog face? and now, another. Who 
is her son?


But I do have another thought about Eileen, given that HBP was a part 
of CoS at one time. If JKR had introduced Snape's half-blood 
background in CoS---then 50 years ago would be the same time as 
Riddle. It's very likely that "50 years" is a vague concept and JKR 
never changed the number when she moved the events a few years. So 
that would place her more firmly in the same time at Hogwarts as that 
first group of Death Eaters.
