Potioncat:
I've darted in for an occasional look at this thread, from time to 
time, but  haven't read too much because I have a weaknes for Molly 
and my blood boils more at anti-Molly comments than anti-Snape ones. 
(and you all know about that!!)

But now that SSSusan has taken it along a new path, I'll toss this 
in.  Look at how well Barty Jr. misled everyone.  

He had Snape doubting the extent of DD's trust. He had students 
accepting lessons about Unforgivables and even submitting to the 
curses.  Don't you think that made it easier for Harry to attempt 
the Cruciatus Curse on Bellatrix?

GoF  chapter 35, p676 (US paperback) Crouch!Moody says to 
Harry, "Decent people are so easy to manipulate, Potter."  So long 
as it wasn't Snake-face himself, it would be very possible for LV to 
mislead someone into doing some good action with a very bad outcome!
