You mocked me, but I will be vindicated!

Examine this, if you please.
Yes, that's right. Snape Castle. But that's not all. Snape was the property of the Neville family until the 16th century.
No, that is not the connection I'm making. (Though it is interesting. More proof that Neville is going to get the DADA job (ie the Snape patrimony)? You heard it here first!)
You may or may not remember that after Richard "the Kingmaker" Neville died at Tewkesbury, his extensive lands were divided between his daughters. The younger daughter, Anne, married Richard of Gloucester and brought the northern Neville properties with her. Richard became Lord of the North, where he governed very competently, kept the border relatively peaceful, etc. etc. Middleham, which is not far (I believe) from Snape, was his favorite castle; the North was where he felt most at home.
In other words: Richard III quite probably stayed in Snape Castle at some point in his life. He definitely owned the place.
Although my link between the two was primarily based on the ways that theories they spark, the ways they are viewed, and the problems their characters present to me, there does exist a concrete connection as well. Ha.
(If you are confused as to what this is all about, you might examine this recent entry, being ware of HBP spoilers.)
