Kelsey:

Thank you Maddy for that last line! I've been worried about dear old 
Snapey ever since GOF and waited on pins and needles to see if he'd 
(and I'd) survive to see OOP.

In GOF, we learn that Snape was a Death Eater and was publicly revealed 
to be a spy for Dumbledore (come on, Voldie and his spies just can't be 
that oblivious). And, in the cemetery scene, Voldie says, "One [missing 
Death Eater], who I believe has left me forever...he will be killed, of course..." I assumed he was referring to Snape who he knows betrayed him, 
who has refused to come that night. I really can't imagine that he's 
referring to Karkaroff (more likely "the coward"). And I can't see Voldie 
just accepting Snape back with open arms after all that; look what he did 
to Wormtail and his more faithful followers who didn't work as a Dumbledore-suck-up for 13 years. Malfoy and Crouch, Jr. were there to first hand witness Snape's loyalty to Dumbledore.

And then, there's no mention at all of him being in grave danger in OOP. 
He's frankly the same old Snape, just now spying for the Order.

I have a horrible feeling that Voldie's dangling a noose around Snape's 
neck, and yet he doesn't know it.

As ambiguous a character Snape is, Dumbledore's trust is not ambiguous. And there's so much evidence that Snape is (a jerky) good guy. I wonder why Dumbledore trusts Snape, but I really wonder why Voldie trusts him. Or if 
he trusts him at all.

Kelsey, who has had a horrible feeling about this for three years.
