Snape Theories page 2

Snape's a vampire

wrong

    I didn't want to give up on this one but with no mention of Snape having anything to do with vampires in Book 6, I think it's not going to happen. On the other hand, I see no reason to expect Book 7 will specifically say he didn't have any vampire ancestors so we can still make up all the vampire!Snape fic we want.

Snape's not evil

unknown

    Of course I still think I'm right but we won't have confirmation on this until Book 7.

Snape wasn't in the graveyard

right

    In Chapter 2, Snape pretty much spells it out for us that he was the one who'd left forever. Except he claimed to Voldemort that he hadn't.

Snape didn't go to spy on the Death Eaters

wrong

    This is the one I was really sure of. Ah well. It looks like there's the potential for a lot of cool stuff to happen with this in Book 7.

Snape is not related to Lily Evans

unknown

    I suspect this, like the vampire thing, is going to end up never being mentioned (there'd be no reason for JKR to say specifically, unless someone asks her, that Snape isn't related to Lily). But I don't think they're related.

Snape is not a pureblood.

right

    Yep, he's not a pureblood. I'm wishing I'd included my other idea here that Snape's dad was a muggle and his mum was a witch. It wasn't really based on anything from the books 1-5 because we had so little to go on but I found the idea appealing for fanfics. And now it just so happens that my idea was the same as canon and now I don't get to gloat about it.

Snape doesn't hate muggles

unknown

    This one's pretty subjective and I don't think we're going to get a definitive answer on it, especially now that Snape's no longer at Hogwarts and might not ever interact with Hermione again (like if he dies...). There's a chance we'll find out more about how he feels about muggles in Book 7.

How does Snape feel about werewolves?

unknown

    This last one is also more speculation than theory. It's not something that's going to have a finite answer. But I think we stand a good chance of learning more about what Snape thinks of werewolves now that Fenrir Greyback is in the story.
