I always thought Snake was supposed to be Nelson's biological Father. Is that not the case?

No, Nelson's father is a separate character, he appeared in Brother from another Planet, as the children's soccer coach. Later he disappeared after going out to buy smokes. He ate candy with peanut and looked like the elephant man and was forced to work in a freak show till Bart found him.

I suppose it depends on just how small Springfield really is. I mean if we're talking about a town with a population under 20 thousand, there's a pretty good chance that they're at least distantly related.

I was talking about this "Who is Nelson's dad?" thing with a few friends the other day. I came to the conclusion he might be Troy McClure's kid.

I think the makers wanted to do a 'Who is Nelson's Father story arch'.
But they could not because of that one 'Gee Thanks Dad' joke in the Bart's bigger brother episode.

He ate candy with peanut and looked like the elephant man and was forced to work in a freak show till Bart found him. The dad was different in the two episodes, but you're correct anyway. What's awesome about Nelson's dad coming back was that he really did just go out to buy smokes, just like Nelson always said he did.
