I think there must be *one* person whom DD has confided in -- One
person who knows Snape is really and truly DDM, and whom Snape is going
to be secretly in communication with all through Book 7.

So who is this person?  Who is Snape's only friend and confident?
        Hermione Granger!


Sherry now:
Ok, it's well known that I believe in either ESE or OFH Snape.  However, if
Snape has a confident, I think the only person would be Hagrid.  Snape's
arrogance and dismissal of his students, and Hermione's intelligence in
particular doesn't make me think he'd confide in Hermione.  But Hagrid is
the one person who has always defended Snape to Harry, from the very
beginning.  Hagrid would also be more likely to believe him, or more
inclined to believe him, because Hagrid can't conceive that Dumbledore could
possibly be wrong.  So, I think that if Snape was DDM all along, which of
course I don't believe, I think it would be Hagrid.

If not Hagrid, then perhaps Lupin.  Not that Lupin believes Snape is good
right now, but I think he's one of the few people left who would not shoot
Snape first and ask questions later.

Who still believes Snape will turn out to be the murderer he appears to be.
