So, hi everybody!
Thank you a lot for being so nice, m.clifford - you weren't so wrong, since 
I did think about it all by myself, and I only discovered recently (seems incredible, but I've been raving about having nobody to talk to about HP, 
since my friends either don't know English either think that they're children books) that millions of people were just there on my screen talking all 
day about it... :))

And thank you carolynwhite2 for letting me know about the posts, I'll go and check them out.

I am so dying about this issue (well, about the whole question of Snape's fidelity, really), I wish jkr would hurry up...but then again, when we'll 
know everything about Snape he won't be so fascinating as a character.

I've heard that some guys are sure that Snape was in the circle that night, 
and at one moment I was almost convinced...but there's still the fact, that, back in the hospital wing, Snape flinched when he heard that Malfoy was there...why would he? I mean, if he was there too, he must have known that Malfoy was there, because Voldemort called him by name. So my reasoning is 
that he could not have been there - that he didn't go because he sort of thought that only very mad people, like the Lestranges, or the very weak 
ones, like Crabbe, would go, whereas the powerful ones, like himself and Malfoy, had had enough with this rubbish the first time. I think he was 
really a friend to Malfoy for these 13 years, and that they had decided not 
to help Voldemort back because life was easier without him. I mean, they 
could always kidnap muggles and do stuff, and they don't risk to be 
murdered any second. But Malfoy answered the call, and Snape is compelled 
to follow...

Also, I can't think that Voldemort wouldn't have talked to him if he was 
there. A guy spying at Hogwarts, how cool is that? And to show Harry that 
even his teachers wanted him dead...

Well.

Oh, and m.clifford, I'm really concerned with this subject, and an idea for 
a short story popped in my mind last month. I posted it on ff.net, they told 
me it was interesting, so if you want...let me know if you like it.
It's called obliviate!, posted under my pen name chrusotoxos, and is set in 
the summer of the fifth year...Harry has to decide whether Snape is 
trustworthy or not, and he'd better get it right...
