Does anyone recall as I haven't reread Book 6, what happened to Snape's
mother, Eileen Prince? Snape is halfblood, who was the Muggle, his mother or
father (I can't remember- it was his father, right?)(I don't have access to
my Book 6 right now)
I'm sure this has been speculated on before...is Eileen Prince alive? If it
was said in the books that she died is it really possible she's alive? And
if it was not said that she'd died, I'm going to the same place with this
question- Irma Pince, the Hogwart's librarian: anagram for Im A Prince. Acts
similar to Snape in some respects. Could it be she is his mother or a
relation?
I noticed in one of my rereadings of one of the books, forget which one, 4
maybe, Snape sees Harry outside with a Quidditch book and takes points from
Gryffindor because students are not allowed to have books outside the
castle. (This doesn't make sense since they carry their bags and whatever
books they hold off to herbology and Care of Magical Creatures. but oh well)
Irma Pince is notorious for guarding the library books and demanding high
care be taken of them. Any relation here?
I think it's very likely that Irma Pince is going to turn out to be
Eileen Prince. I could practically hear Rowling chortling as she
wrote the scene where the librarian sees Harry's heavily-annotated
Potions book and, thinking it a library book, practically has a
seizure, then chases him out of the library, whacking him with his own
bookbag all the way. I'm sure she was thinking, "If only Madame Pince
knew that her own son had desecrated that book!"
