If we put Snape in the example, he would be the bartender who provided
the alcohol to the drunk driver, without knowing that he would drive a
vehicle aftewards, or the construction worker who built the bridge
according to the instruction of the engineer. Was he partly
responsible for the death of Lily and James? Perhaps. Was he the main
culprit your post seems to suggest? I think not.
vmonte responds:
I see what you are trying to say here but your analogy is not exactly
right. Snape knew that Voldemort was going to target someone. So, even
if we give him the benefit of the doubt here, he would still be
responsible for the death of some family somewhere. Since Snape was a
DE he may even have possibly known which families had thwarted
Voldemort 3 times. I'm guessing that's a pretty short list that
includes Neville and Harry's parents.
