Carol:
That can't be it. I think he somehow found out about Voldemort's plans
and went not the other way around. There's no way that Dumbledore
would have hired Snape as a teacher knowing that Harry would be his
student if Snape were responsible for his parents' deaths. Also, he
went over to Dumbledore about a year before the Potters were killed.
The life debt, remember? He must have been trying to protect them and
failed. Harry doesn't trust Snape, but
Dumbledore does. And that trust has to be fully merited IMO.

Carol, who is sorry this isn't a particularly articulate post
