I always figure Snape became a Death Eater after graduating from 
Hogwarts.  Where did he go after graduating?  I can't believe he 
immediately went into teaching as he would be rather young.

Also, the question has been raised as to whether he was ever REALLY a 
Death Eater or has this just always been a plan of Dumbledore and 
Snape.  The one thing I have always found strange was when Dumbledore 
stood up and told everyone Snape had been a spy (during Karkaroff's 
trial).  Would you let everyone know that?  I don't imagine you would 
be very popular with your other Death Eater friends and Voldemort 
supporters.  Word would surely get around.

A strong woman type whose profession is being a wife and mother and 
loving every minute of it and wouldn't give a hoot if all the 
characters in the book were men and who thinks women sure do over 
react about many things and.......isn't this about Harry Potter?
