Though I heavily lean toward Snape not being there, I am open to the 
idea. No tomatoes from me!

No, Snape is not a coward.  But who says Snape can only be useful as 
a spy again?

It would seem that if Snape were going to continue spying for 
Dumbledore it would be best to go to Voldemort as soon as he is 
called.  However, what did Dumbledore ask Snape to do at the end of 
GoF?  Was Dumbledore asking him to go back to where he just came 
from?  Why would he ask Snape if he was ready and prepared?  Just 
some thoughts.

At the end of GoF, Harry looks at Snape and finds it difficult to 
read his expression.  Some have taken this to mean that maybe Snape 
is looking at Harry in a new light.  It's possible, especially if 
Snape was at the DE meeting or if Snape heard first hand from some of 
the DE's who were there.

Oh, one other thought.  Surely it is possible that there is a DE or 
two who is also on Dumbly's side.  Though there is something special 
about Harry, could not someone had helped him escape and Harry just 
doesn't know it?  How could ALL those DE's have missed Harry?  Maybe 
Snape or someone else there did a little magic of their own and 
prevented Harry from getting hurt.  

Still, I just don't see how Snape could be there.
