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." "

Unless DD was keeping his cards close to his chest...as they say in 
poker. He didn't want anyone in the MOM or WW in general to know 
Snape was only pretending to be a DE.


vmonte responds:

How do you pretend to be a DE?  Voldemort doesn't seem like the kind 
of guy that would just let his people sit on the side lines while he 
did all the killing. In fact, Voldemort often has his DEs do the 
dirty work for him. 

I like Snape's character but I see him as a bad guy.  Even if he is 
on the good side now, I'm pretty sure he has done some despicable 
things in the past.  I'm worried that Harry's gut feeling about Snape 
is going to turn out to be right.
