Potioncat:
JKR has written the books in such a way that we know we do not always 
know what we think we know. On top of that, we know there are things 
we don't know. In addition, we don't always know if the characters 
know what we know; know something we don't know; or if they are who 
we think they are.


However, we are here to discuss the possibilities. She has made 
Snape's loyalty ambiguous from the very beginning and I'm sure we 
will all have several more little chats about it. Some of us, 
regardless of whether we are promoting ESE!Snape or ESG!Snape, come 
up with more plausible theories than others. Based on what we think 
we know from what we think happened, Snape could be loyal to the 
Order, he could be loyal to the Dark Lord or he could be out for 
himself. I think whichever way it turns out, the plot will not be bad 
and the books will not be dreadful. If they were, it would be the 
ultimate Series of Unfortunate Events.
