Hi, Vivian!
Sorry but I have to say huh?  Could you ellaborate a little bit, 
please? I mean I am always up for a session of Snape's bashing, but 
how does him telling Harry that he is "neither special, nor 
important" translates into possibility of Snape protecting Voldemort?

I thought that Snape was him usual abusive self, when he said that. 
You know, always trying to humiliate Harry, put him in whatever place 
Snape thinks Harry should be,


But what you are saying translates in very ESE! Snape and I am having 
trouble believing it.

Alla:


Oh, as we discussed it earlier, I believe that Snape told Draco to 
use Serpensotia, BUT I think he did it because he suspected that 
Harry is a Parselmouth and wanted to see for himself.

Well, it is possible as any other scenario, but again I would prefer 
it not to be true. Sorry!

Snape saving Voldemort from the beginning exceeds all my standards of 
evillness. :o) So, are you saying in effect that Snape is the real 
Dark Lord and Voldemort is in his debt?
I hope that "stopper in death" will play out in Harry's fate in the 
positive way (namely saving him at the end).

I have to say one thing, if it turns out to be true, your scenario 
will be very funny.
