The Ultimate Betrayer

I have been going over all the threads and posts about Snape, and 
thought I would add some.  First, I do not trust Snape.  I believe 
he will be the ultimate betrayer to the Order.  He was a Death 
Eater, and  yes, DD believes him to be reformed.  I don't..I think 
he is a spy...he is at Hogwarts with Harry and DD.  Wouldn't LV want 
someone inside Hogwarts to watch every move they both make??  Who 
better fits this but Snape?  

Second, I do not believe that he was actually trying to teach Harry 
Occlumency, I believe that he was using it as a means of opening up 
Harry's mind more to Voldemort's.  Making it easier for LV to 
penetrate Harry's thoughts...in fact, this happens during one such 
supposed Occlumency lesson...Harry goes down the corridor.  Harry 
himself keeps saying..."he's making it worse".

Third, I believe he could have prevented Sirius' death.  He says he 
watched Harry go into the forest with Hermione and Umbridge and 
couldn't tell him that Sirius was safe and sound in Grimmauld 
Place.  It seems to me that Snape, if he was truely working for the 
Order, would have tried just a bit harder to let Harry know all was 
well.  I don't think Snape tried at all, I believe he saw this as a 
way to possibly get rid of Sirius, the last of the two people he 
loathed the most.  He knew Harry would find a way to the MoM, and he 
knew Sirius would go after him.  And then you have LV showing up at 
the MoM...Did Snape tip him off that DD would be there with the rest 
of the Order to save Harry??  I think so...Why else would LV risk 
going to the MoM when his plans had not yet fully worked out??

These are just MHO's...but it's how I have been seeing Snape from 
the moment he was introduced in PS/SS thru OotP.

JKR herself said on the MSN webcast that we should not start 
trusting Snape, I can't remember her exact words, but I do know she 
meant not to soften on him.
