Valky:
I have another opinion entirely. I quite firmly support the bulk of 
Lupinlore's simple Snape hypothesis. Frankly, I think he is almost 
as simple as all that. Nasty, petty interested in Dark Arts, Self 
preservation and thinks Voldemorts insane.... yep I agree.

But Lupinlore there is one important peice of the Simple Snape 
puzzle, that I believe needs more emphasis. 

Snape is a pureblood supremist. He might think Voldie has lost it in 
the old rationale department, but he kind of thinks that of DD as 
well. It has neither to do with their alignment in the battle of WW 
racism, because Snape is firmly aligned with Lucius on that matter, 
end of story.

Now Snape thinks that Voldie is a bit loony, as the premise here, so 
its not a far leap from Simple Snape to Snape thinks that Neville is 
the prophecy boy. 

It couldn't possibly sit well with pureblood idealist Sevvie that LV 
decides the boy born in July that is more powerful than he is a 
stinking half blood! 

Snape: "Ahem your Lordship,,, I thought we had agreed that pureblood 
was supreme... surely, naturally the Pureblood boy is the more 
powerful of the two, no?"
