Actually, he does know who taught him when he starts using it, IIRC. I noticed on my pre-DH reread that he uses it at the end of CoS, against Lockhart, and says something like "Shouldn't have let Snape teach us that one, should you?"
I know this is totally off-topic, but I've been looking at your icon of Snape for a few weeks now and it's just hit me who he looks like: He looks like the English actor John Wood. Cool!
I suppose you would understand *IF* I said that as a teenager I had a crush on John Wood after seing "Lady Jane", and that I re-watched "Wargames" just for him?
I suppose you would understand IF I said that as a teenager I had a crush on John Wood after seeing "WarGames" and "Ladyhawke", and that I watched "Lady Jane" and, erm, "Jumpin' Jack Flash" (O, the embarrassment) just for him?
AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA THANK GOODNESS I AM NOT ALONE.
My heart is forever blighted that I never got to see him on stage in the Gillette Sherlock Holmes. But alas, I was four at the time.
Prior to DH, I recall specifically tracing part of why I expected and part of why I wanted Snape to be a good guy directly to JKR's setting him up against Lockhart.
That and the white-knuckled grip on the chair when he hears Ginny's been taken.
