* Was Snape at Godric's Hollow? The answer is in HBP!

Bellatrix demands to know where Snape was when the Dark Lord fell,
meaning that he was *not* at Godric's Hollow or she would not have
asked. Snape reminds her of what she already knows, that he was sent
by the Dark Lord to teach at Hogwarts, presumably to fill the vacant
(and jinxed!) DADA position.

Carol again:
But the problem is, he had already joined up with Dumbledore. He was
already teaching at Hogwarts (presumably as of September 1 when the
term began), and before that had been spying for Dumbledore "at great
personal risk." (Se "The Pensieve" chapter in GoF.) 

Maybe his remorse after Godric's Hollow sealed Dumbledore's trust, but
it can't be what sent him to Dumbledore in the first place. (He may
have learned that Voldemort was going after the Potters or he may have
been upset by Regulus Black's death; something happened *before*
Godric's Hollow that sent young Snape to Dumbledore. We just don't
know what it was.)
