Oh, that is VERY interesting. I always enjoy the parallels between 
Nazism/Resistance Movement that we know JKR studied. Wouldn't it be 
interesting if Snape were preyed upon because of his emotional 
vulnerabilty and lured into the "Voldie Youth", ie. the Death 
Eaters? It would also make his DE connection somewhat explainable, 
and Dumbledore's forgiveness both understandable, and commendable. I 
can't believe it, but you guys are finally winning me over to 
the "Feel some sympathy for Snape" camp. Who da thunk it?
