< < < "Snape has been cleared by this council," said Crouch
distainfully.
"He has been vouched for by Albus Dumbledore."
"No!" shouted Karkaroff, straining at the chains that bound him
to the chair. "I assure you! Severus Snape is a Death Eater!"
Dumbledore had gotten to his feet.
" I have given evidence already on this matter," he said calmly.
"Severus Snape was indeed a Death Eater. However, he rejoined our
side before Lord Voldemort's downfall and turned spy for us, at great
personal risk. He is now no more a Death Eater than I am."
> > >

Mark that last sentence very carefully.  It could go either way.
The Worst Possible Thing [tm] would be for Dumbledore to be/become/have
been all along a Death Eater, yesno?
