 Potioncat:
 GoF chapter 35: The foe-Glass appears 3 times with a clear image. 
Each time it shows DD, McGonagall and Professor Snape. Only once is 
Professor Snape noted as looking at the images in the foe-glass.
The images are not, strictly speaking, a reflection. The three images 
are glaring into the room, although the actual individuals are doing 
other things.

But, is JKR telling us that the three are loyal and trustworthy?  Or
that they are all foes of Barty Crouch? And is Snape looking in it
because he's never seen himself? Or is he concerned about his own
loyalty.  Or is he concerned about McGonagall's loyalty? And does the
fact that he's a foe of Barty Crouch Jr, mean he's loyal to DD?
