Son of Snape

On her website JKR says that Luna Lovegood in not Snape's 
daughter, that he has no DAUGHTER.  So, does he have a son?
Do we know  (without knowing it) who that son might be?  Does 
it have anything to do with one of the central mysteries of the 
septology?

I think the son of Snape could explain many of the minor and one 
of the major mysteries.

JKR tends to have family groups bear a striking resemblence to 
one another... the Weasley, the Potters, the Blacks, the RIddles 
etc.

Who looks like Snape ? so far the only one I've spotted that even 
comes close is Victor Krum. Round shouldered, sallow, large 
nose, a grumpy git. About the right age for what I have in mind.

Second, to the question "was Snape ever loved" JKR says on her 
web site "yes". And I think I may have noticed something.  When 
Harry gets into Snape's memory, he sees a hooked nose man 
yelling at a woman who is cowering, as a dark haired little boy 
looks on.  What if the hook nosed man is Snape, the cowering 
woman his wife and the little boy his son?

What if the argument has something to do about protecting 
Snape's family from Voldemort?

Harry assumes that Snape is the litle boy, but his assumptions 
are not always right.

So, if it is Snape's son, and even if he isn't Krum, what has 
happened to him?

We know that Dumbledore can keep people hidden from 
Voldemort.  He's done it with Harry and he tells Draco that he can 
hide his whole family.

Is the reason Dumbledore trusts Snape something to do with 
having hidden Snape's son?  perhaps his wife as well? It seems 
to me that someone desperate to escape the power of "the Dark 
Lord", who knows that you can't just resign, might work out a 
deal with Dumbledore to hide his family and to give him (Snape) 
a cover story about appearing to work as a member of the Order, 
while really spying for the Death Eaters ( and so forth, tie your 
mind in knots trying to figure it out).

Now that we know about Unbreakable vows  ... is there the 
possibility that there was one between Dumbledore and Snape? 
Dumbeldore will keep Snape's son hidden if Snape will work for 
the order?

As for the events on the Astronomy Tower, has Dumbledore 
forced Snape to kill him when it is obvious that Draco has failed? 
Did Dumbedore wish to ensure that 1. Snape won't break the 
vow with Narcissa and die himself and 2. Draco, still a student, 
won't use an Unforgivable curse. Finally,  having a well prepared 
mind and knowing that his powers are waning, is Dumbledore  
willing to sacrifice himself to help keep the game going?

So there it is, the best I can do to create a unified Snape theory.
