That, or the Snape of Surprising Sexual Prowess. (Which, IMO, is nearly impossible to justify. How would Orthodox!Snape have had enough practice at lovemaking to get good at it? And when has he ever cared enough about another person's well-being to even bother?)
Indeed! Unless he's one for paid sexual encounters, or frequents the sort of sauna where "Hello, my name is..." is judged to be irrelevant chit-chat.
Yes. The only character that comes to mind as a likely candidate is Peter Pettigrew, who certainly seems to get off on being dominated and abused. I was very disappointed when I realized that they can't have been lovers, for reasons of canon (unless you're writing Evil!Snape).
True, but who says Pettigrew is the only card-carrying masochist in canon? I think the characters of both Percy and Quirrell scream "Abuse me, I love it!"
