> Okay, if the "Snape loved Lily" theory is blown because we found out
in HP4 that Snape was a double-agent before Lily was killed,

The people on one of the other e-mail-lists have that all figured
out. Snape was working for Voldemort and told of the plan to kill all
three Potters and petitioned that he wanted to save Lily. Voldy valued
Snape enough to promise him that he wouldn't kill Lily IF she didn't
interfere with him killing Harry. Snape knew that Lily would never
save her own life if she couldn't save her baby's life, so he became
a double-agent on purpose to protect Lily: he tipped Dumbledore to tip
James and Lily when the surprise attack would take place. When added to
the question, how come Dumbledore is so certain that Snape will remain
loyal to the good guys and not switch sides yet again, to give the answer
that Snape implacably seeks vengeance against Voldemort for Lily's death,
it becomes more plausible than I would like, as I do not like the 'Snape
loved Lily' theory.
