a major problem with this... In GoF during the scene in the
graveyard, LV knows EXACTLY who is who, despite the fact that 
they are masked and cloaked. He also knows EXACTLY who isn't 
there. I can't believe PolyJuice would fool him for a second. >>>


I agree that PolyJuice potion alone wouldn't fool LV, but remember 
that Snape is very skilled in Occlumency, and "Only those skilled at 
Occlumency are able to shut down those feelings and memories that 
contradict the lie, and so utter falsehoods in his (LV) presence 
without detection."  Snape would have to be able to lie undetected 
infront of LV in order to be a spy, so possibly he could get away 
with posing as someone else with PolyJuice potion, in front of LV.
