   I am not decided about Snape, however, if you look for both good
Snape and bad Snape from this scene you can. If Snape is still a true
Death Eater, then one could simply say that all Death Eaters who
renounced Voldemort for whatever reason are Crouches enemies. When he
is talking to Harry after the graveyard scene, he does seem quite
militant about those who returned to Voldemort. I personally do not
believe that Rowling will give anything away about Snape until the
very moment that truth becomes paramount.
