Linda:
I would imagine that Snape is an animagi but I always imagine him as 
a snake, a very small snake that no one will notice, especially in 
the shadows.  I used to have a boss who moved around like Snape, 
carpet slippers we used to call him. You didn't know he was there 
until you literally turned round and bumped into him.   However I 
doubt if Snape would ever had heard the secret keeper.  If I was 
Voldemort and I had a mole like Peter, a marauder, in my pocket, he 
would be the best kept secret in the universe.  I would not let any 
of my death eaters, no matter how high ranking, know that I had him 
and I probably wouldn't even mark him - far too risky.  After all, if 
three people know a secret, then it isn't a secret anymore.  I don't 
think any of the death eaters ever saw or heard Peter but would have 
been aware that something was going down.
