"Also, speaking of when Snape became a member of the order, JKR went out 
of her way to tell us how long teachers had been at Hogwarts. Trelawney 16 
years, prophecy time, before Harry's birth. Snape, 14 years, after Harry's 
parent's death. Could he have been the one to alert DD to their deaths?"

I thought it interesting, also, that Trelawney has been at Hogwarts, it seems, virtually since she made the prediction in front of Dumbledore.  Is she there for her own protection?  Dumbledore will not allow her to be removed from the school in OotP when Umbridge has her dismissed.  Although Trelawney doesn't seem to have any idea what she said when she makes a prediction, I'm sure LV could find a way to break into her mind if she was in his clutches (as Bertha Jorkins was).  Is that also the reason Snape has been at the school for 14 years...to protect him in some way?  I don't know.

Cathy - who is posting to this list far more that she ever thought she would!
