I am sorry for replying to myself, but I really wanted to add 
something to my post. Someone said that Snape is too ambiguous 
character at this point in the series for him to be a traitor.
I disagree. He may be ambiguous or even a villain for Harry, but I 
think the majority of the readers are sure as of now that Snape 
serves light. :o)


By the way, if the attempt of the real betrayal is  going to happen. 
I am putting my money on Ron. The seeds have been planted very well 
indeed. Who says that past should repeat itself  with 100% 
similarity? Shouldn't Harry generation be better than their parents? 
Maybe Ron will realise in time that he is being set up?
