 When Harry firsts arrives at HQ, Ginny says that Bill doesn't like 
him {Snape} or Bill doesn't even like Snape, I know those sentences 
have very different connotations so could someone please specify the 
correct one?   
   I don't know if his opinion changed but if the Penseive scene in 
GOF means anything, Moody doesn't trust Snape. Given the way Barty 
was able to pull of the impersonation in fourth year, I think Moody 
STILL doesn't trust Snape or Severus would have at least remarked on 
the change in behaviour. Indeed, the way Severus tells Barty!Moody 
that DD trusts him [Snape] seems to suggest that that is what Snape 
has to tell Moody to at least remind him for corssing the line.

    I may be making an erroneous assumption here but could Tonks 
possibly be a Slytherin, more so a Slytherin from Snape's era of 
teacher. Just in consideration of the way she spoke about not getting 
a prefect position and metamorphing her nose into a protrudence that 
resembles Snape's  (which could solely be the influence of attending 
meetings with the man also), She may choose to dislike him but 
recognize his usefullness?
