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?"



Alla:

LOL, Valky! I don't think that you and me are differ that much. I 
WILL completely support Simple!Snape if I get a satisfactory 
explanation ( to my liking of course) why Snape does not know about 
the Prophecy. Even without it I am in agreement with bulk of it just 
as you are.

Now, about Snape being pureblood supremist... Are you sure that he 
still is? I have to confess that it would be extremely dissapointing 
to me to learn that even though Snape left Voldie he still supports 
his ideology. I also have to confess that my positive feelings for 
the character will decrease significantly if we learn that Snape 
still shouts "Purebloods rule" in the privacy of his dungeons. :o)

Although I suppose that the fact that Slytherin's pasword 
was "pureblood" is a pretty big hint that you are right. :(

I guess I want to learn that one of the reasons Snape left was him 
realising over time as DE that such ideology sucks big time.

Just my opinion,
