In the American hardcover edition of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on page 521, Harry uses a shield charm while in occulmecy. Harry starts to see memories of Snapes. The first is a hooked nosed man yelling at a cowering woman while a small dark-haired boy cries. After thinking about it, it was like a slap on the face when I realised it was showing Snape as a young boy while his mother tells his father she's a witch. That is a huge clue to who the half blood prince is.

I don't recall them ever saying the mother was yelling about that.

Good point. But I don't think that's necessarily what that scene is. I think that scene could have simply been one of many. I think his "father" for lack of a better word abused his mother on a regular basis; one of the things that turned him out to be such a screwed-up human being.

Sorry, dear but that has nothing to do with the topic.
I agree with GleeptheDragon, but perhaps weird_o142 could be right. It is possible. But I highly doubt we are going to ever know.
