"So looking at JKR's known style of clue-dropping, if Irma Pince = 
Eileen Prince, the logical expectation is that we would have clues 
like - a character mentioning how long Irma has worked at Hogwarts 
(i.e. exactly as long as Snape has been spying for the Order), or 
that Snape often visits (or specifically avoids) the library. Or 
Eileen's description somehow evoking Irma (in fact, Irma is described 
as having a hooked nose like Snape, while we learn from Snape's 
memories is a trait he inherited from some male in his family, and 
not his mother). Or JKR referencing Snape's family in an interview. "

Do we know that the hook-nosed man was Tobias Snape rather than Grandpa Prince?
