What fascinates me now is Snape's relationship with his mother. He followed her into Quidditch and potions. He touts her name over his own father's. And what he said to Draco, that lulling spell, that reaction could only have come from his mother, since she was the witch in the family. His father certainly wouldn't have understood the intricacies of blood and magic. (Though I want to meet the elder Snape now.)
Mom picking up after little Severus, that just makes me cry. It will be all right if you use the right potion; chin up, it will heal.
Not to mention it gives me an excellent reason why he favors Millicent in CoS (by throwing Hermione to her like so much fresh meat). Perhaps she reminds him of his mother.
