Snape might have known Andromeda from school but I do not think that 
there is any link between them after that and there is no hint in 
canon that he had any association with her. I think Snape was once 
Tonks potions teacher. According to Lexicon Tonks is born in 1973 
and Snape started teaching in September 1981 so when Tonks turned 
11, Snape was already a teacher at Hogwarts.
