Dumbledore supporter), and what he needs to be for Voldemort, Lucius 
and the other Death Eaters not to suspect him (IE: A true-blooded, 
Muggle and Mudblood hating, just as vicious as they are, Death 
Eater). And somehow, he has to do all this WITHOUT seeming to have 
lost his nerve in the DE community or getting found out by the same, 
and yet still remain 'good' enough that he doesn't over-step the line 
and become an enemy of the Order once more (and therefor thrown out 
and/or handed over to Azkaban--a fate worse then death should some 
Dementors remain there). And yeah, he doesn't have to worry about the 
DE adults at the school...but you know, there's always Draco, who 
tells his father everything that goes on at the school. And although 
no others are mentioned, no doubt, in Slytherin at least, there are 
other DE children who would no doubt run and tell thier parents as 
well should Severus Snape 'go bad' as far as the DE community is 
concerned..

Yes, we may have to agree to disagree. I just want to make one 
comment. Snape is in danger indeed and I respect him for that, but 
may I remind you that he brought all of this on himself. He took this 
job to atone for his past sins and even the fact that he does it is 
great, but it is not like he joined as a spy from the beginning. It 
is reasonable assumption to make that he commited all these 
montrocities himself.

Harry on the other hand did not ask for any of this, most of all to 
be the boy from prophecy, so in my mind although I give Snape due 
respect, I sympathise with Harry much more.

About the abuse, we definitely have to agree to disagree.
