    Yes, but how thick would V have to be to believe this?  I admit, he has
shown a certain lack of...*common sense* in the past, but, seriously, to
accept any excuses on Snape's part would be plain stupid.  There is simply
too much evidence against Snape for V to let him back in...UNLESS *do dee
do* V plans to USE Snape.  Say, pretend to trust the man and feed him
misinformation and the like.  I can really see V being able to use this to
his advantage when the water gets really hot in the later books.  He could
tell Snape that - for example -mayonnaise was his secret weakness.  So Harry
and the crew all show up at V's secret hideout ready to cream him with
mayo...but V's ready for them and their tasty white sandwich spread and
wipes them all out. (reminder:  that was JUST an example)

Oh, yes.  BTW, I am a newbie.  Please be gentle.  Also, I'm sorry if the
quoted part has it's >'s all in the wrong places..
