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?


vmonte responds:

ESE means: Ever So Evil. According to the HP books Dumbledore does 
not want Snape to teach DADA because he believes it may bring out the 
worst in him.  I think that Dumbledore has to keep in mind that Snape 
used to be a death eater. Snape may no longer be a part of 
Voldemort's circle, but Dumbledore knows his weaknesses and is 
keeping temptation away.  For example you probably shouldn't hire a 
recovering alcholic as a bartender.

And as for Snape being an heir to Gryffindor? I have not seen that 
discussed yet, although it is a very interesting proposition.  Why do 
you feel that he is?  I'm very curious?
