Potioncat:
If you started with young Snape--say after Lily moved on, but before 
he joined the DEs--there might be potential. If he had had some 
measure of success rather than so much failure, his sarcasm might 
have been more entertaining, and better controlled. More of the dry 
wit and less of the put-downs. He might have gone on to become a 
famous Healer, eventually Head of St. Mungo's. 

On that path, Snape would be a loyal spouse with most of his fame and 
glory for the family. He would, however, have high expectations for 
the family. Not an easy person to live with.

But I can't picture DE Snape, or even Professor Snape having the time 
or engery to put into a relationship. Had he survived DH, perhaps. 
After therapy....
