sirius could've been biased... but i think it must be true. as for eileen marrying him; it must have been the same reason as merope: love. *sighs.*

well snape came from a witch's household, like ron, so he probablely knew a lot about magic. like magic was an everyday sort of thing at ron's and his family used a lot of spells everyday, snape had a slytherin background so those kind of spells could've been an everyday thing in his house... in fact his parents fought a lot so his mother could've used them on tobias as a demonstration...

like i said he had a syltherin background so he could've found a lot of books containing those spells in his house and being a young child and mostly alone with nothing else to do, he'd have found those books a very entertaining means of passing the time... i don't think his mother ever bothered to explain to him about right and wrong or the fact that those were dark spells or were evil... i don't think she really cared about the sort of stuff he read and learnt and anyway she was a syltherin; she probabely wouldn't have found them so despicable after all....
all i'm saying is that snape had a very different childhood from lily or james and had no proper person to teach him the difference between things and you cannot expect a child of that age who has had no proper guidence in these matters to judge for himself the nastiness of those spells... you and i know that they are bad but he doesn't, he's grown up with them and is too familiar with them i.e. like a child who has raised a pet tiger from a cub not knowing it's dangerous and he wouldn't realize that no matter how much you tell him...
