Alla:


Why Dumbledore would ever hired Snape if Snape killed and tortured 
while being a DE?

Probably because Dumbledore is big on second chances? 

He keeps giving people seconf chances over and over again. I don't 
see him as not giving one to Snape.

Werevolf Lupin deserved a second chance in Dumbledore's eyes. Why not 
Snape then? Are you saying that Dumbledore would not have put 
children in danger by hiring former murderer? He hired a teacher who 
is potentially dangerous once a month.

Now, you may say that Dumbledore believed that Lupin will be safe 
while taking potion. True, he thought he took necessary precautions.

But, I think that Dumbledore also taking necessary precautions 
against Snape going to his old ways by not giving him DADA job.



It is true, we don't know yet for sure whether Snape participated in 
killings or not, but I think it is  a very reasonable assumption to 
make judging by what we know about the activities of Voldie and his 
gang so far.


Are you saying that Snape was so special that he was allowed to join 
and just observe? Even if it is true - just observing  is bad enough.
