sees in the foe glass are HIS enemies and not FakeMoody's.   In the
mirror of erised, the person sees in the mirror their own desires, not
someone elses.  So it would make sense that Harry would see Snape in
the mirror.

smilingator:

Well, Harry also saw DD and Prof. McGonagall in the foe glass, so
wouldn't that make them his enemies too if the foe glass? Well, unless
he was seeing both his enemies AND Fake Moody's enemies. OR... no...
JKR wouldn't do that to us... but another option is that DD and
McGonagall are Harry's enemies too (but I HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt this).

Just my thoughts...
