believe it or not, i made a timetable to sort out my brain. Am I a 
LOON now? Anyway, they said his power was steadily rising for 
11 years (or 12, I have to check, but I think it's 11) when he met 
little Harry. If he was 15 in the memory in CoS, he'd be about 67 
now. So since he was 56 or so, which means, since Snape is 
35/36 (JKR has said so...that or 32/33...I can't remember which), 
he would have been a death eater at 21. But -- no one said he 
was in the inner circle, unless his inner circle are the ones who 
have the dark mark, and appeared at the graves. D. only said he 
was a death eater.

Here's a question: If all Death Eaters are supposed to have a 
Dark Mark, why did no one ever question the lack of one on 
Sirius' arm? (assuming there isn't one, but I'm not even going 
there. Sirius is a good guy.)
