 <snip>- there's an element of the tragic to 
the Black  family that goes beyond their personal losses. The Fall of 
the House of  Black was complete when Sirius died and the idea of 
there being only small  cracks that led to that tragedy, in the form 
of Sirus opposing his family  and Regulus being killed, doesn't quite 
do justice to what has happened to  them

I realize the male line of the Blacks is gone (unless Regulus is in  hiding), 
but we still have the female line.  I was wondering if the  possibility of 
Snape being a Black through his mother has been explored.   As Ron says in OOP 
almost all the pureblood families are related to some degree  and the Black 
family tree names the Potters, the Prewetts. Longbottoms, Crouchs  and in the 
notes a Weasley.
 
 Possibly SS'smother's mother was a Black making him Sirius' cousin  once 
removed or something.  If Walburga's aunt Cassiopeia married a Prince  and had a 
daughter, it could work.  That would explain Sirius' and Snape's  hostility as 
a family matter and give a background to the enmity.   Naturally, neither one 
would acknowledge their relationship openly, but it might  explain why Sirius 
would possibly want Snape dead (area open for exploration)  and why he would 
know SS was up to his eyeballs in the Dark Arts and knew more  hexes as a 
first year than most seventh years - his family would know all about  it.  It 
would also explain the connection to Narcissa, Draco and Bella  and SS's concern 
for them and his ties to Lucius.  Maybe he does not  stay at Grimmould Placeany 
more than necessary, because his ties to the family  would be exposed 
somehow.  Would Kreacher or Walburga acknowledge him, for  example?
