> I've heard a lot of people referencing this quote from Snape (about 
wizards ability to 'brew fame, bottle glory, even stopper death" 
from PS/SS), and seeming to interpret it as meaning 'stopping 
death'.  However, I always thought that Snape meant 'stopper' the 
bottle of death (i.e. put a cork in the flask which 
contains 'death').  In other words, he was talking about ability to 
brew poisons (which brings up a whole other myriad of issues, but, 
anyway...), rather than brew some sort of cure for death, or elixir 
of life (altho, this would be relevant to the plot of PS/SS).

Kathleen Hunt:
Thanks for making me really think about this phrase. Putting a stopper on death, could that means beating death completely? We all know that was LV goal defeating death. Could Snape have helped him with that? and What do you think LV did to defeat death?
Ok, I'm going to sound like Ron. I still don't fully believe that Snape is on the right side. I need prove of what he has done. I have no faith in him because of how he treats Harry.
