But what I've always wondered is, in GoF, when LV is musing about 
which death eaters are present, and which are not, he does say 
something about one having betrayed them, or at elast being msising 
from their ranks for good, and that he will be found and dealth 
with.  I assume dhe meant Snape at this point, because Snape wasn't 
present in the graveyard - and if he's now supposed to be an 
unsuspected member of the DE, then surely he ought to have turned up 
at this point?
