> I think Snape learning of Voldemorts plans to go after the Potters
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.
