Snape

Snape has been discussed to death on this group so probably this has 
been brought up at some point, too.

I just wondered if maybe the reason Dumbledore trusts him so much - 
could it be that the reason Snape became a Death Eater in the first 
place was by Dumbledore's request? That Dumbledore wanted a spy as 
close to Voldemort as possible and Snape was the best choise?

What would Snape have to lose by this arrangement? Nothing at all. He 
would have Dumbledore's unshared respect and trust and he would have 
a chance to prove him self worthy of it.

Snape was already hated and ridiculed by the students so it wouldn't 
be much of a difference to him to have them despise him as well. And 
they did.

I like the idea of Snape being sent in as a DE by Dumbledore. And if 
indeed this is the case - that only takes my admiration for Snape 
even higher.
