I always hoped in wartime the smart people bury their differences but 
it seems a lot of hard things happen. And despite the popular line, I 
know WWII was a great deal more complicated than it has been 
portrayed. It could very well be that JKR is setting the stage for us 
to see parts of the Order give each other away to LV. I can't imagine 
it, so therefore, she's probably got it planned and Snape and Harry's 
dislike for each other is just subtle foreshadowing. Thanks for the 
startling little history lesson. Makes it very clear that the outcome 
of WWII was in much greater doubt than we are led to beleive.
