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.
Sherry:
If this was the case, then it seems Snape would have known that Peter was
the traitor, and it would make his treatment of Sirius in POA despicable,
planning to send an innocent man to be kissed by the dementors? Remember,
Snape couldn't have known where the potters were unless the secret keeper
revealed it. If he knew they were in danger, and he knew where they were,
then he knew Peter was the spy. Even for those who ascribe to the ESE
Sirius theory--which I do not--Snape has never said anything to indicate he
knows it from personal knowledge. My mixed feelings about Snape would make
me love to have him be the one trying to warn the Potters, but I just don't
see how he could have. if you can, please clarify.

Luckdragon:
If Snape did not overhear it himself he may have heard it from Voldemort or another deatheater very shortly after. Couldn't you just hear Lucius bragging to fellow deatheater Snape that the Potters whereabouts were out and Voldemort was preparing to go to GH to do them in.
