I have recently sent a couple of posts regarding Voldemort's quest 
for immortality (use "snake immortality" to find them). However, I'd 
like to address the issue of Snape involved in Voldemort's quest. 
I've seen several references to it before, and raised my eyebrows at 
them, but now I've realized why it seems so unlikely to me: When Tom 
Riddle resurfaced as Voldemort it was when Snape was at school, so 
how could Snape be involved in Riddle becoming the quasi-immortal 
Voldemort? And how unlikely is it for the (second) most powerful 
wizard in the world, after having spent thirty years on this project, 
to seek the help of an immature Snape?
