Well, I think I can buy into a 'practical proposition" Snape under certain circumstances. He would need to have the impression that Harry is lonely, and/or unsuccessful at relationships.
Hmm...what about a scenario where Snape is under the mistaken impression that Harry is lacking opportunities for, err, companionship(but Harry is in fact popular to the point of fighting off advances, and Snape is the straw that breaks the camel's back, so to speak? Or even just simple shock and disgust on Harry's part would be sufficient.)At any rate, Harry is not at all in need of Snape's practical proposition.
Then, over the course of time,there's some sort of reversal in circumstance, and Harry has to rethink Snape's offer. (Something plotty might have to happen.)

Yeah, I could see this happening.
