SSSusan:
WHAT?  How do you know this is what DEs do?  How do you know which DE 
activities Snape participated in and which he did not?  It's *canon* 
that many of the DEs were kept in the dark about who other DEs were 
and/or what they were doing.  I *suspect* [can't yet know] that Snape 
did participate fully in some kind of DE ugliness, but there's no way 
you can state that he *did* do these things quite so assuredly.


totorivers:
> I have trouble as envisioning such a man as *moral*. 

SSSusan:
Again, there is much we do not know about Professor Snape.  Yet, what 
about Snape's decision to save Harry during the Quidditch match in 
SS/PS?  He could have played dumb about what was going on, he could 
have sneered and said "Que sera, sera."  But he didn't.  He 
intervened, in order to save Harry's life.  Was that not a "moral" 
decision?  What about accepting the burden of turning to & sticking 
with DD & The Order at "great personal risk"?  Is that not "moral"?  

I know that many posters here fully expect to find out that Snape 
never did anything except as it fit into his own agenda.  I don't 
believe that fully, though we can't be sure.
