"What does everyone think about the possibility of Snape's death in book
5? At the end of GoF, Voldemort mentions the six missing death eaters -
three dead, one too afraid to come back, one who "has left [his]
service forever - he will be killed, of course," and his most loyal
servant. Everyone pretty much assumes those three to be Karkaroff,
Snape, and Crouch, in that order - so, is this a red herring, or can we
realistically expect some very bad things to happen to Snape in book 5?
I know this idea was sort of mentioned earlier, but I don't think this
particular aspect was covered in depth... Could *Snape* be the death
that's horrible to write?

My reply:

What if the last 2 poeple were switched? *Maybe* the Dark Lord meant that
Snape was his most loyal servant, and that Crouch Jr. was sent on a suicide
mission and therefore "has left him forever". The killing part could mean
that once he's discovered, they would kill him with a dementor or in a
fight. Crouch Jr also escaped from Azkaban, and it would seem highly
unlikely that a dementor would let him live if one ever got it's hands on
Crouch Jr.
