"What about him?" asked Harry heavily, slumping back in his chair.

Hermione goes on to tell him about Eileen Prince being Snape's mother. How she was married to Tobias Snape.... a Muggle.

He broke off, looking out the window. He could not stop himself dwelling upon Dumbledore's inexcusable trust in Snape. . .

Bear in mind, taking that out of context, it is a very telling sentence... or so it seems.. but in any case..

Snape was loved. Dumbledore says that that is what sets him apart from Voldemort.. (side topic while I don't want to forget it........ why does D'dore call him LORD Voldemort? Why the title??? sort of how he insists Harry, et al call Sevvie Professor?) So... Sev is loved.. presumably by his mother.
Would Snape sell out his mother? Or would he have taken his mother into hiding, as D'dore had promised Draco he would do??

This is where I noticed Page 37, as being significant. This is also where I started wondering where would D'dore hide Sev's mother?

Hogwart's, it stands to reason. So I decided to start looking into who I thought his mother might be. Please, though, this isn't the treatise on all things Snape. This is page 37... so if you are interested, please look at Rachel and Racie's blog, where we are discussing all things Snape.
