This is why DD "froze" Harry...so that no matter what happened..Harry 
would see it play out. IMHO if DD trusted Snape to do the "Snape 
thing" then he most certainly trusted Harry to do the "Harry thing"...


I still believe that DD trusted Snape to act in his own best 
interests. I also believe that DD appointed Snape to the DADA teacher 
due to the Vance deaths--after that DD is upset..(what if the 
argument between snape and DD was Snape seeking to go back to being 
potions master---apparently DD believes Snape is one, yet refuses to 
reinstate him.(basis for argument Hargrid overheard.....)).

I believe DD appointed snape to a doomed position because Snape 
really doesn't belong in Hogwarts--and there are other schemes DD can 
put into place to allow Snape a "comfy spot"...

Snape paid for his Sirius baiting in that unlike sirius....DD has a 
serious concern with snape....(i.e. Snape put all this crap in motion 
to begin with)

Snape made his decision with the unbreakable vow....since Snape made 
that vow there is no way that dd would sacrifice a student before a 
teacher....Snape knows this, yet, he made it...He figured DD would 
rescue him.

DD does not! If Snape made a vow...DD is not about to do dark magic 
to help him to escape.

Hence Snape's treatments of Harry. Snape treats him horribly in the 
hopes than DD will step in..

Instead, DD does not step in, and the consequences of Snape's choices 
worsen...

I think DD always has Snape's "number"(i.e. trust him to do the 
bad/act in one's own interest thing....and when he's in doubt because 
of Harry's  complaints....he assigns Snape to the DADA position.(do 
or die time for Snape).  Snape could have turned it down...but he did 
not...hence the choice is made... (can you just imagine....DD after 
ring horcrux destroyed...Severus brew the stopper of death for me."  
DD said, "Severus, you know what this means?"

DD: "That I will die eventually?"
Snape: "yes"

DD: "I'm going to do that anyway/anyhow."

Due to Snape's Unbreakable Vow---Draco's inability left him no choice 
to act otherwise in the presence of the DE's.

Hence DD froze Harry...Harry had to see; even if he didn't understand 
the intracasies...

(who loves the fact that DD wouldn't save Snape from the DADA curse; 
nor would he rescue Snape from his unbreakable Vow!)
