Now me (Cindy):

Hello again! :-)
I have been thinking about this a lot lately as well, becuase Hermione
is very nice to Snape in Order of the Phoenix, and is also very
protective/defensive about him. (It makes all those Severus/Hermione
ship fanfic stories quite believable).
I think that you could quite possibly be right about Hermione knowing
the truth about Snape. Hermione definitely knows how to keep big secrets.
Though I have also been thinking about something that jkr said in an
interview just recently (I don't remeber which one) - but the
interviewer asked her about possible relationships etc... and she said
"I don't want to say anything because I don't want to ruin it for the
people who have devoted fan sites out there on the Internet"
-something like that anyway. So, could jkr be doing this on purpose,
just for the benefit of the SS/HG fans? There wouldn't be anything
wrong with it, she is only defending him, she isn't doing anything
illegal, so why not.
But again, that is super-wild speculation, and I do think that
Hermione perhaps knows the truth about Snape.

Oh, and about the hooks through Snape's "overly large nose". That
really isn't very nice! "Dumbledore trusts Snape!" "You're just
looking for an excude to blame Snape!" ;-)
I love Snape!
