I'm so sorry for the major snip to a great post...moderators scare 
me...Two things I'd like your input on.  1)All family members should 
have a place on the tapestry up to the date of last updating which 
might explain Tonks not being there...she was not born yet at the 
last update.  Even if they are disgraced, the mark of where they were 
should still be there.  I thought Sirius explained the marks to Harry 
which were the disgraced family members. And Harry would definitely 
have spotted Snapes name right off if it was on there. 2) Neville may 
very well have seen Snape at St. Mungos even if it was only once.  It 
could be that Snape had some sort of an agreement with him not to 
tell anyone.  Could that be why he is so awful to Neville all the 
time?  Could he be afraid that Neville will spill the beans to Harry 
since they are always near each other?
