did Snape ever Believe..............

Danielle:
 Well I have to wonder if Snape ever got around to believing Harry 
that it was Wormtail who snitched and not Sirius. I wonder this for 
no other reason than wondering about. Snape would still have reason 
to hate Sirius, because Sirius thought of the switch to Wormtail. I 
mean just say that Snape did believe that Wormtail was the SK and
>  the traitor, makes ya wonder how strong Snape is, cause I couldn't 
have standed have Wormtail in my house for a summer, I would have 
killed him before the end of the 1st day lol. Well those are my 
thoughts take or leave them, sorry if it has been talked to death 
already.

Magpie:
I think it was probably only because he found out Sirius wasn't the 
SK that Snape agreed to work with him at all--Snape probably went 
from hating Sirius to the point of wanting him dead to just hating 
him (the way he does in OotP where it's more about just their school 
hatred, the Prank, James, fighting--he also must have hated that 
Sirius wound up being friends with Lily, but at the same time he had 
to respect him because he was Lily's friend).

It was probably easier to deal with Wormtail since he was so cringing 
and under Voldemort's thumb--also I wonder if Snape spent all his 
anger on Sirius since he, Snape, was kicking *himself* for getting it 
wrong all those years, you know? Like his years of focusing on Sirius 
made him feel guilty in a weird way because the real SK was still out 
there.
