Snape Theory of the Week #1

Since I've reached the 7-week interval, it's time to change what I do for Saturdays. The title says it all, every Saturday, I will post a debatable topic having to do with Snape and talk about it.

Here's this week's:

Did Snape die a virgin?

One would think so, since Lily stopped being friends at the end of their fifth year, and he loved her so much that he would never have relations with another woman. There are several arguments against this, and they fall in two categories: He had sex with Lily at some point, and He had sex with another woman.

Now, you can't just assume that all children at Hogwarts are good little kids. I would bet that a good amount of fifth years have already had sex, whether it was in a broom closet or in their dorm or somewhere else. And I bet Lily had feelings for Severus, but she was just stubborn. They could have been having a nice time hanging out in a clearing by the lake that only they knew about one night, and suddenly Lily gets the courage to kiss him, and gradually clothes come off... and, well, you know. Now that I think about it, that would make a good fanfic. But anyway, they might have done it just that once, or possibly more times and they only pretended to be just friends. Then, when Severus called her a Mudblood, she could have thought he never liked her that way, but was just using her for sex. And if that didn't happen, it could have happened after fifth year. I mean, we don't know exactly what happened their sixth and seventh year. We can't say for sure that they never spoke again... Who knows, Lily could have had sex with him out of pity. Or maybe she cheated on James with him.

As for other women, I don't think he'd have sex with anyone else during his school years. But maybe Voldemort apologized after killing Lily, and Snape was all, "There's other women, my Lord, worthier women." And then Voldemort could have wanted to be helpful, so he arranged for a woman to meet with him. And he's not going to deny the Dark Lord, since he's not the kind of guy you want to make angry, so he might have had sex with that woman. If that didn't happen, then just think about it, guys. Even though he was so deeply in love with Lily, he would have sexual urges. Everyone does. If he never went out and got with a prostitute from Hogsmeade or anything, then he'd have been a very sexually depraved man. Although, I think he'd have put up with that, since he didn't want to betray Lily. I'm just stating the arguments that many people would put forward.

Personally, I think he made love to Lily at some point. I'd hate to believe that he died a virgin.
