Potioncat:
Another view I've changed in this episode, is Snape's motives for 
going into the Shrieking Shack. I thought he was saving the trio. It 
is pretty clear from the timeline and from what he says: he saw 
Lupin in the tunnel and went after him.  Snape did not know the kids 
or Black were there.  Now, I'm not really sure why he followed an un-
medicated werewolf into the tunnel...

Oh, dear. Welcome back to the Light side. :o) I NEVER bought Snape 
going to the Tunnel, because he wanted to save the kids as his 
primary motivation. Revenge, revenge and revenge again.

I am not sure though that he did not know that the kids were there. 
Are you saying that he could not see them on the Map? Because then, 
I will abandon "saving life motive" even as secondary motivation, 
which I happened to hope he has.

Now, why did he follow werewolf in the tunel indeed? Maybe he 
thought he knew how to fight werewolf succesfully? Hmmm, makes you 
wonder about some past events. :)

About Snape betraying Dumbleodre... Not sure. Him wanting revenge 
against Remus and Black, not caring who will be hurt in the process, 
Dumbledore included, fits pretty well in the picture of Snape 
holding his old grudges, without him betraying Dumbledore. 


Just my opinion,
