Question - If she was born into a pure blood family, would she not by default be pure blood? Mafalda Hopkirk 16:43, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] She couldn't have be born in 1920s

The Potion textbook that features in the book was used by both Snape and his mother. The publishing date was sometime during the 1950s, using that date Harry and friends ruled out that it could possibly belongs to anyone they knew. But then later on they realised that Snape used his mother's textbook.

If the textbook was published in 1950 and Prince bought it in her penultimate year in Hogswarts (same year as Harry started to use the book), then she was 16 at the time, so the earliest she could have been born was 1934.

Alternatively if the book was published in 1959, she would have been born in 1943, which would at the same time made her a teenage mother when she had Snape. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 139.133.7.37 (talk • contribs).
