FlaviaFlav:

I had a theory that Madam Pince would turn out to be Snape's
grandmother (Eileen's mother). Pince is more than once described in
terms of a vulture, and Neville's Boggart creates a connection between
Snape, grandmothers, and vultures. According to this theory,
Dumbledore took Pince into Hogwarts for her protection and as a
guarantee for Snape's good behavior. Rowling might have dropped this
thread, trusting to "The Prince's Tale" to establish that he's one of
the good guys.
