Toonmili: The problem is that in the memory Snape is only 15 years
old. And what do we know about teenagers: They don't think for
themselves. Peer pressure and all...

But I have never heard the adult Snape use that word. I have never seen the adult Snape show preference to purebloods.  He hates Neville and he is pure blood.  Besides how many of you had well developed social and politcal ideas of your own when you were fifteen.  You can take him calling Lily a mudblood like an accent.  If you are an American and you move to England when you are young.  What will happen?  There is a great chance you will pick up the accent.  But once you go back to America, slowly the accent you picked up will start to melt away.

This is like being in Slytherin.  He picked up some of their qualities when he was in that house.  They were his only friends so he was maybe talking like them because of it.  But once he got out, either by a friendship with people with different opinions or something like that, he changed the way he spoke.  Hence the reason why we have never seen adult Snape use the term. Being around Dumbledore would have some effect.

Besides we know Snape is not a bigot because he told Bellatrix that he thought Harry might have been a new Dark Lord who he could pledge  his loyalty to. It is well known that Harry is halfblood  (JK said  all grandparents have to be wizards to be considered pureblood) and he is even the son of the said person he thought blood was so dirty  before.  The point is Snape does not take blood seriously.

What we heard was just a teenager trying to fit in and trying take focus off the fact that everyone had seen his nasty underpants.
