Potionccat:
Interesting idea, that Snape was in the Order from the beginning.  
That means that while he may have appeared to join the DEs he was 
never really a DE.  That's a new idea.  But I think if that was the 
case, DD would have said, "he never really left our side."

Potioncat:
Although, like some of the DEs who went to work for the MoM, Snape 
could claim he was only pretending to be on DD's side.  And I think 
Crouch Jr. was unstable enough for his reports to be somewhat 
questionable.
