I just want to point out that not all of us assume that Snape has 
gone back to spy on Voldemort.  He could, for example, be sent out to 
try to get the vampire community to join Dumbledore, or to Azkaban to 
find out if the Dementors have joined Voldemort (my own favourite).

But I agree that he is very brave, and like the point someone made 
about him being upset when Ginny was kidnapped.

David, 

who does *not* want Harry to be the physical 'heir of Gryffindor', or 
Harry's blood to weaken or convert Voldemort, or James and Lily to 
have been inventing anti-AK protections, or even Snape to be a 
vampire.  (But, it would be nice if Dumbledore turned out to be the 
heir of G, and in Book 7 he hands over the baton to common-born 
Harry, saying, 'Blood and descent can only take us so far.  It is our 
choices that matter..')
