Did Snape Try to Warn James at GH? (Re: Here is an interesting Snape one)

Kneasy:
IMO a more significant question would be:
"Does the charm have to be re-set if the SK changes?"

Snow:
Was the charm in place before Sirius suggested changing secret keeper?

Kneasy snipped:
Suppose DD dropped off the twig. If knowledge of GP were then
erased from the minds of everyone that DD has told, nobody would
ever be able to find the Headquarters again. It seems logical that
once told, always know.

Extrapolating that to GH anyone Sirius told would also retain the
knowledge, even after he stopped being SK.
Particularly necessary in a war situation where an SK could be
killed. It'd be a bit careless to lose buildings and supporters by
being too clever for your own good with the spellwork.

Snow:
Dumbledore suggested the Fidelius charm along with himself as secret 
keeper to the Potters but I don't think Dumbledore was the one who 
engaged the charm. Whatever reason the Potters had for not allowing 
Dumbledore to be their secret keeper would be the same reason they 
wouldn't allow him to perform the charm. I think Dumbledore had his 
own resources as to finding GH that did not come from the secret 
keeper(s) divulgence. As for Sirius knowing or being allowed to 
remember the whereabouts of GH after changing secret keeper status, 
wouldn't that debunk the meaning "changing" secret keeper? Sirius had 
his own way of contacting James if need be and that was the old two-
way-mirrors. 

Kneasy snipped:
Strolled through Christmas (yes, very good, thank you;
roast goose and a superb Guigal Cote Rotie), now it's almost
New Year, traditionally an opportunity to review the past and
set targets for the future.

Time to move on, I think. Fresh woods and pastures new - that
kind of stuff. After almost a thousand posts to the board
enthusiasm has been replaced by a combination of ennui and
an increasing disappointment brought on by the decline in
quality of recent posts, something some members know I've
been concerned about for some time. They ought to, I've bent
their ears often enough saying so. Too few posts now with style
and grace and wit; posts that one can enjoy and appreciate even
while disagreeing.

I'll still be posting of course, but it won't be here. A few of you
may have seen me surface on another site a couple of months
back while I was exploring possible alternative groups (there's
some *very* familiar names among the members) and that's where
Kneasy will decline into (hopefully) disreputable dotage.

Snow:
Sorry to hear you've taken the route like so many have before you. I 
have always appreciated the fact that you could hear so many of the 
same topics repeatedly and still respond in that ole' Kneasy flare. 
You will definitely be missed for your philosophical input and 
prophetic theories. Happy theorizing to you wherever you feel most 
comfortable.
