> (3) What is Snapes task and why does Dumbledore have such a hold on him?

IMO Snape was Dumbledore's spy and *he* informed D. that Voldemort was after
the Potters. And now Voldemort wants Snape's death (GoF chap.33: "we have
six missing Death Eaters... One who I believe has left me for ever... he
will be killed").
BTW (please, ignore this, if you discussed the topic, I'm still *in* the
archives) why Voldemort wanted James' (so young man, probably not very
powerful wizard yet)  and Harry's (and not Lily's) death?

> (4) why was Hagrid so convinced Snape would not harm a student?
Well, Hagrid trusts Dumbledore, Dumbledore trusts Snape, so Hagrid trusts
Snape. Pure logic, isn't it;-)))?

> (8) Does Sevvy want the DADA job?  Will he ever get it?
I'm sure he'll get the DADA job - but - I dare predict - in the 7th book...
Poor Snape have to wait...

Snape as a teacher? IMO he thought (or better: *hoped*) that his students
weren't *that* stupid. If he thought about them as about "dunderheads", he
wouldn't
want them to write an essay on werewolves. But, when nobody guessed (ok,
Hermiony guessed...), he revealed Lupin's secret in more direct way.

Next question - 10 (?)
I still don't exactly understand Black&Snape's relationship. There must be
sth more in it, don't you think so?
