SSSusan:
Well put, Laura--I like that "wrong sides of the same side."  

My question would be, how would the students in DA take having Snape 
as their advisor?  I agree with all the other points you've made --  
DD trusts him, he's in the Order, and he also presumably knows the 
Dark Arts well.  But these kids have had a really good time with 
Harry as their leader.  I wonder how they would react if ol' Severus 
showed up to take charge?  (Would be an interesting scene to read, 
wouldn't it?)
