Tom:
Hello again, wow this has been taken way out of context. I only said 
that Snape might be in love with Narcissa, but have no canon to back 
that up. It's complete speculation based on one of JKR's online 
chat's (which I can't find at the moment needless to say) when she's 
asked if Snape would fall in love. That *doesn't* mean he's having an 
affair, just that he has strong feels about her. She might not feel 
the same way or even know.

I think the point I was trying to make that Narcissa is in a much 
better position to be the spy for the Order and not Snape. We do know 
Snape is getting information, but from who and how? Narcissa is the 
who I believe and I just wanted to establish motive.

I do like the idea that Lily and Narcissa and Alice Longbottom all 
went to school together and knew each other and maybe very good 
friends, just like Harry's father and his friends.

Hopefully I've clarified my theory...

Tom
