Good point.  That would give Voldemort the impression that Snape was 
still loyal.  But the danger in that approach would be Voldemort 
wanting to possess Snape at some point.

What is "ESE Snape"?  I am a fan of Snapes and I want to know what
you are referring to here.
Snape is a powerful wizard -- I say more powerful than everyone 
outside of Dumbledore and maybe perhaps Voldemort.

He wants to teach Defense against the Dark Arts, but Dumbledore will 
not let him.  I am sure that has been discussed before, but can you 
tell this person why that is?

And thirdly, has the discussion about Snape being the heir of 
Gryffindor been discussed yet?
