Talisman, tucking one of the Weasley Twins new Marauders Maps, 
version 2.0, under her arm responds:

Thank you very much James, but not only have I been upthread, I've 
got my own copy of the book and I can read page 387.  I still say it 
was Snape, and I wasn't going to resort to Legilimency to answer 
everything (though it does come in handy now and then doesn't it?) 

I'm not sure why you think Fudge enjoys Snape's confidence.  I don't 
happen to think Fudge is in DD/Snape's inner circle, so Snape's not 
going to tell Fudge what really happened.  Especially when Snape has 
worked so hard to free Sirius without clearing his name.

In fine I don't think Snape is telling Fudge the truth.

You can go way upstream and read bluesqueak/Gray Wolf's SPY 
GAMES/MAGIC DISHWASHER posts, and you can wonder about events for 
yourself. For example:

Why would Snape, who has been brewing up, not to mention personally 
serving, Lupin's werewolf-safety potion all term 1)go to Lupin's 
office with a gobletful, 2)see on the Marauder's Map that Lupin is 
heading for his safe house, on the night of a full moon, 3) decide 
to go after Lupin (although Snape knows the Shrieking Shack was 
built specifically for Lupin's werewolf use) and yet 3) not bring 
any potion with him? 

Why does Snape reveal himself before Sirius and Co. discuss any new 
business? Like what they plan to do next, etc. He already knew the 
prank story. 

Why does he bind and GAG Lupin in the Shack, but not Sirius?

Why doesn't Snape follow through on his threat to have the 
dementors "kiss" Sirius when they are all out there in the night 
together? ("Up to the castle? . . . I don't think we need to go that 
far.  All I have to do is call the dementors . . . [t]hey'll 
be . . . pleased enough to give you a little kiss, I daresay ...") 
(360) 

Why does he shout down Hermione every time she tries to explain (in 
the Shack or the Hospital wing). 

Do you really believe that Snape can control his emotions enough to 
prevent even Voldemort from reading his "thoughts and feelings," but 
has to freak-out and scream every time Hermione wants to say that 
Pettigrew is alive?

Who else was there to deflect the dementors the first time through?

Why doesn't Snape want HRH to be punished for knocking him out and 
giving him that "nasty cut" on the head? (386) 

You either believe that DD, with Snape's help, is controlling the 
situation, or you believe in coincidence and that "DD just knows 
some things."

If you decide to go with coincidence, you're on your own as to how 
Snape knows the dementor's tried to kiss Harry.

Talisman, who wonders if that potion is good for cranky people, too.
