Talisman's head, popping into your electronic hearth for a moment, 
says:
Since this topic is still bubbling up, I'll just add that it doesn't 
seem that anyone but the readers are suspecting poisoning--and all 
of them think that only Voldy's mole would do such a thing.  
Therefore when they consider "obvious" Snape they conclude he really 
is still a bad-guy; and so jump, not so obviously, right down the 
wrong rabbit-hole.  No one in the Order is going to go after Snape, 
because he is obedient to DD.

Talisman, who woulldn't mind a bit of toast, if you have it.
