EILEEN SNAPE
It is from her that I am part woodland elf. As with Veelas, many things are only passed through the female line and she passed them down to me. I have heard various stories over the years and I am unable to identify which is correct. Such as all things different people have their different versions of events. I know that she is able to “tame” much like a Veela, men of her choosing. I know that she taught my uncle and mother to speak elvish. I know that she died in 1994.
Family, as I say, isn’t something that was spoken about in our house. She never spoke of her family, perhaps she didn’t want to mention it. The elvish story (according to my cousin) is that her mother was killed, and in grief, she ran away, (something I can understand, as I have done it myself!) Instead of fulfilling the duties her family expected of her she married a human. The wizarding story is that a grieving elf married a muggle and the muggle version is that you don’t go near the weird family. The truth, as always will lie somewhere in between.
I believe that Eileen did go to Hogwarts. There were many books in the house but always covered in other bindings. I am not sure what house she would have been but into, but having known her I would have put her into either Slytherin or Gryffindor, very much like my mother and uncle. She was able to use the womanly wiles that she had to benefit herself.
She had long, straight, dark hair. Her eyes were large. As though you could see into her soul. I don’t remember seeing her much but when I did, she had marks on her body that she would try to cover up. She used to try and cook in a muggle way to impress my grandfather but she wasn’t very good. I saw him hit her once. I don’t think they knew I was there. I don’t think people saw me after a while. I became good at hiding. But it gave me a good understanding of how she got the marks. I don’t know why she didn’t leave, curse him or something. It just wasn’t in her nature.
