I disagree completely. If Pettigrew knew about Snape, so would 
Sirius. Sirius didn't even know Snape was a DE to begin with, so how 
could he know about Snape spying after LV? And Snape wasn't in the 
picture Mad-Eye showed Harry - if he was, Harry would have recognised 
him for sure. 

More likely, Dumbledore kept the information about Snape to himself, 
both out of respect for Snape (can't see how he would like his 
Hogwarts enemies to know) and because he suspected a member of the 
order had double-crossed him, and if LV knew he would have killed 
Snape long long ago.


--Naama, who was *so* sure she was finally going to find out what 
Snape was up to in book 5.
