Snape/Narcissa had an odd connection. She crying and holding onto his
robes, her holding his hands to her lips, etc etc. He couldn't look at
her crying.... May also explain why Snape made the unbreakable vow for
Malfoy... favoritism, etc. And Bella's presence would have prevented
speaking aloud.

may go part way to explaining why Dumbledore believed him; he
understood parental love and hence regrets what he did to the Potters?

Carol responds:

Since others have provided you with the description of Lucius Malfoy
that specifically points out his resemblance to Draco, I'll just call
your attention to a theory of Neri's called ACID POPS. I don't
subscribe to the theory myself, but I did come up with the words that
the acronym stands for, "Alas, Cissy Is Despondent, Perhaps Old Pal
Severus?" that was considered insufficiently passionate of SHIPpy, and
it was changed to "Alas, Cissy Is Despondent, Perhaps Obsessively
Passionate Severus?"

At any rate, Neri's description of Narcissa canonically shedding tears
on Severus's chest is classic, as is the rest of his theory even
though,as I said, I don't subscribe to it.

He's kindly provided what he calls "ACID POPS references for new guys":

Just click on any one of those links and follow the thread, which will
give you a general idea of other list members' views on the subject.

I should add that ACID POPS, which of course refers to a Hogsmeade
candy that Dumbledore used as a password to his office, is an
alternative to another Snape "ship" called LOLLIPOPS, which stands for
 "Love of Lily Left Ire Polluting Our Poor Severus."
