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.

Luckdragon:

The quote where Dumbledore vouches for Snape does prove Snape was already on the side of the order, but this could still have happened after Snape learned the Potters were in danger. Learning of the attack would have been the turning point that made him join the order He then would have alerted Dumbledore and gone to the Potters to warn them when danger became iminent. Thanks for reminding me of that quote.

I agree Snape was the deatheater he was referring to in the latter quote, however; if Voldemort knew Snape had left them beforehand I would think he would be more specific than simply saying he feared he had left them forever. More like "Snape caused my downfall bring me his head".
