Now I have another question concerning Snape (hopefully this hasn't 
been discussed yet).

In GoF, when Voldemort summoned the Death Eaters, 6 were missing. 
Three were dead, one too cowardly to return (Karakoff I presume), on 
who has re-entered his service (Barty Crouch Jr.) and one who Voldy 
believed has left him forever. That one should be Snape.

Since Lucious Malfoy was there, he should be able to figure that out. 
So what is going to happen with Draco and Snape? Draco would tell his 
dad that Snape is a spy, or Lucious would tell his son that Snape is 
not faithful to Voldemort anymore. 

Add also to the fact that Harry saw Lucious together with Voldemort, 
this should bring a fresh twisting plot to the whole story. Maybe 
Snape is able to lure Draco away from the dark side, hence Draco and 
Harry will work together someday? Maybe Draco quits Hogwarts 
(although this one is unlikely)? Maybe Lucious will try and pull some 
strings in the Ministry of Magic to make Snape or even Dumbledore 
fall?
