Potioncat:
Consider the time too. Snape taunted Black in December. The Battle 
happened in June. Big gap. In HBP Snape takes some claim to aiding in 
Black's death. How about this possibility for DDM!Snape. LV plans to 
hurt someone Harry loves to lure Harry into a trap. He asks Snape for 
a name of the person Harry loves most. Snape wouldn't want to give 
him Ron or Hermione, so he gives him the name of an Order member. A 
grown up: Sirius Black. Therefore, he helped capture Black.

I'm wondering now if LV got the idea from the second challenge. Harry 
certainly risked a lot for a friend there.

As for Ms. Vance. We may never know what really happened. Snape may 
have given LV information about her, that she and DD knew was given. 
Or he may have given some Order information out (again with DD's 
knowledge) and Ms. Vance was the Order member who happened to be 
there when the DEs came calling. 

For example, he could claim that he made it possible for Harry to 
save Ron. After all, he shoved the bezoar facts down Harry's throat 
the very first day of class... and provided it again in the text book 
Harry was using.

I agree.
