Yup, 'it wuz Snape'.""



I write:

We were all wondering what Snape's task was, and some think it was to go
back and spy on Voldemort. I think that's not possible anymore, because of
his actions in SS. Don't you think that Voldemort, through Quirrel, would
know about Snape trying to help Harry and not him if Snape was stil a loyal
DE? 

Also, I think there is good canon to give Crouch Jr the "loyal servant" tag
that Voldemort uses for the 3 missing DE in the graveyard. He said that he
had to go free this servant, that the servant made the Triwizard Cup a
portkey, and we know that Crouch Jr was the one that did that and he had to
be freed from his father.

(who finally found some Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans and is pleasantly
surprised that they taste like what they're called. Just like the book!
Although I haven't tried the bad ones like vomit, earwax, and booger. dirt,
sardine, pepper, and spinach all tasted like the real deal)
