may have been a turning point for Snape. It is possible he 
approached Dumbledore previous to the attack, but his attempt to 
warn the Potters and returning the stone after the attack would have 
sealed the deal to Dumbledore. Are you aware of any canon which I 
may have missed to support Snape having turned prior to the Godric's 
Hollow incident. If Snape had left the Voldemort before the Potters 
deaths Voldemort would have known and been more specific when the 
deatheaters minus Snape were reunited in GOF.



Alla:
 I am aware of the canon which says that Snape deflected prior to 
Voldemort's fall. If he did it after GH incident, then technically 
it would be after Voldemort's fall,right?


Someone (Juli?) recently reminded me of this quote in the different 
discussion . Remember when Dumbledore vouches for Snape in GoF?:

"I have given evidence already on this matter," he said 
calmly. "Severus Snape was indeed a Death eater. However, he 
rejoined our side before Lord Voldemort's downfall and turned spy 
for us, at great personal risk. He is now no more a Death eater than 
I am." - p.391, GoF, paperback.

About Voldemort being more specific... Well, I think he was. I think 
Snape is the one who left him forever, but I am aware that there had 
been multiple interpretations.

Just my opinion.
