I always figured they just wanted Harry to be able to sleep and not 
have any of the recent events going through his mind.  BUT....you 
bring up an interesting point.

When I first finished GoF I was convinced Snape was going back to 
Voldemort.  Then I convinced myself that he wasn't going back to 
Voldemort. Now I am going to sit on the fence and wait until the 
books tell us.

I personally hope and think we will find out who Dumbledore's other 
spies were/are.  One of them might even be someone we already know.

Polyjuice Potion/Starting to be overused!

I am going to comment on the *Snape taking the polyjuice potion* one 
more time.  I truly hope JKR doesn't go in this direction.  As I have 
said before and will say again, I want to see Snape as himself. If 
Snape returns as a DE, I think it would be interesting to see how he 
goes about his business. I would love to see how he acts around 
Lucius Malfoy, for instance.  If it is something else, then I want to 
see what he does in his *own* body.  Not in someone else's. What fun 
would it be if we can't see Snape's upper lip curling?  If we don't 
get the constant reminders of how greasy his hair is?  Give me the 
real Snape and not some polyjuiced body!
