Alla:

Hi, Carol. The post is 108146.

Neri analyses the timeline and shows that Snape carelessly delayed 
contacting the Order that night.


And I want to stress again, that Snape "INTENDED to search the 
forest" We have no idea whether he actually went there.

Regardless, even if he did all what he was supposed to do, as Hanna 
said , he was doing his duty as the ONLY Order member onH ogwarts 
premises that night.

And he did that only after significant time delay.


I was actually primarily responding to your point that Harry owes 
Snape his life after that night and was strongly disagreeing with 
that.

Snape may have contributed to helping children win that fight 
UNDIRECTLY, but Harry does not OWE him anything, especially since  
IMO Snape was the one who contributed to putting Harry in danger in 
the first place (occlumency failure).

And, of course, Harry saved himself at the end, NOT Snape and not 
even Dumbledore.
