Fandom Discussion and Poll: Snape and His Accursed Bloodline
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
I can buy that Dumbledore and McGonagall were privy to his familial bloodline, but anyone else? I think Snape being as unpopular as he was would have done just about anything to make certain his background was kept as secret as possible. It's been suggested that a lot of the kids sorted into Slytherin were actually half-bloods masquerading as pure-bloods to escape scrutiny or worse. This makes a lot of sense to me.
I guess the crux of our debate was whether or not Lucius knew Severus was a half-blood. I maintain that Lucius did not. I can't imagine Lucius would have had much to do with him otherwise, but then Lucius doesn't seem to mind that Voldemort isn't of pure blood.

I must also stress that because Snape is an accomplished Occlumens, wouldn't he be able to keep his skeletons closeted? Well, maybe not from Voldemort. He, of course, is a skilled Legilimens.
Fuck, I'm confused :P
And while I'm on the subject of Snape's bloodline, there are ticky boxes to check regarding your thoughts...
[Poll #557878]
Lastly (I'm making this an essay style question :P), who might have been aware of Snape's bloodline? How did they come to find out?
