Vivamus:
Exactly my point, Magda.  I think some are confusing morality and niceness,
and saying that if he is fighting for DD, he must really be a good person.
Snape is fighting on the good side, but I think he is a bad character.  

OTOH, there is also the possibility that JKR is pulling yet another
switcheroo on us, and he is really working for LV as a double-double agent.
It would be a stretch, but she could bring it off, I have no doubt.
