June:
It does not surprise me to learn that while there are villages
named Snape that there are also people with the surname Snape.
It is common for streets, villages and small towns to be named
after someone if they have done some thing rememborable. My own
grandfather has a street in Toronto named after him. I was just
pointing out that I had read somewhere that the name Snape was
taken from a small villiage and as someone has already pointed
out I was not wrong on that as she found the very story I was
talking about where JKR stated that the name was taken from a
small village.
