I hope the list elves will allow this one! I was just trying to 
decide what the important scenes were in POA that JKR stated 
foreshadowed events that will occur in later books.

My two thoughts are;

1. Lupin talking about Lily and what an amazing person/witch she was. 
Don't remember any canon for this at all! I still think that there is 
some link between Snape and Lily. Not necessarily love, but something 
strong enough for Snape to switch sides. Was DD telling the truth 
when he told Harry that Snape saved Harry in PS/SS because of a debt 
to his father, or was it more because of a debt he feels he owes to 
Lily!

2. When Lupin transforms, Snape instinctively protects all three 
children. Not the act of an evil man, I think you'll agree. Somehow, 
in the end, it will be Snape who saves Harry/Ron/Hermione from LV.
