> Snape never mentions a 'life debt', might never even consider it 
> applicable, since it was one of James's friends that put him in 
danger of his life anyway. The way he behaves in Shrieking Shack II, 
the estatic Gotcha! reaction; the revenge he can almost taste - "Two 
more for Azkaban" - is almost obscene. He's been waiting for this for 
a long, long time. I see Sevvy as a vengeful type - he'd want his 
pound of flesh, to see his enemies humiliated. Somehow DD put the 
blocks on it. I'd love to know how and I'd love to know why Snape 
still trusts him.


Aggie:
Hmmm (Captain Jack Sparrow is getting everywhere at the mo!) that's 
very interesting!!

I really hadn't thought about this before.  WHY would Snape stay 
quiet? I COMPLETELY agree, he is insane with glee about catchng 
Sirius and Lupin.  It doesn't make sense! I could just repeat all the 
reasons you said but it would be a waste of list-elves! 

I tried to put myself in Snape's shoes; why would I keep shtum.

1) I'm being blackmailed - That would work up to a point but you 
cannot install loyalty by this method and I DO believe that Snape is 
loyal to DD.  Might be one for Vampire!Snape fans though!! >;-)  
teehee

2) DD told me his 'great plan' and I realised, even at the tender age 
of 16, how important this was to the grand scheme of things.  As I am 
noble and couragous and do things that go against my 'evil' 
character, I can rise above such petty revenge thoughts and take the 
moral high ground.  Although when the opportunity presents itself (in 
the Shrieking shack) it goes to my head a bit and I get slightly 
carried away! 

3) Deep down I'm a really good guy and did it out of the kindness of 
my heart!  (Slight pause, then hahahahahahhahahahah rotflmao)
