Pippin   
But though Snape threatened to MAKE Harry get out of the 
way,  he ultimately did listen to him,  because he didn't give 
Sirius to  the dementors when he had the chance.<<
 
Renee:
I bet he did that because he needed to prove HE was the one 
who  caught Black.<
 
Pippin:
Um, I'm confused. You're saying Snape sincerely meant to turn 
Sirius and Lupin over to the dementors when he threatened to 
do it in the Shack, but had second thoughts later and decided to 
bring Sirius to the castle instead? May I borrow a leaf from Neri's 
 book and ask how we are to  know?

Alla:

I am not sure whether Renee meant it, but I think that Snape 
absolutely intended to turn Sirius  and Remus over to Dementors. I 
think he decided that bringing them to the Catle will be much more 
profitable thing for him to do - he will get more publicity,as 
someone who caught Azkaban escapee. And of course Order of Merlin 
will not hurt. I also think that he wanted to show Dumbledore that 
Dumbledore was wrong and he was right. As to how we know .. . well, 
Dumbledore does say that "He is just suffered a severe 
dissapointment", after he learns of Sirius escape. - PoA, p.420, 
paperback.

I think it is reasonable to assume that Snape was dissapointed that 
he did not manage to get Sirius kissed.



Pippin earlier : 
And though Snape was not particularly happy with 
Dumbledore's  decision to trust Sirius,  he ultimately accepted it, 
as shown by  the handshake in GoF.<<
 
Renee earlier :
Did he have a choice, if he wanted to remain in DD's good 
graces?
 
Pippin:
Considering that remaining in DD's good graces at that  point 
means doing something at considerable risk, he must want to 
remain in DD's good graces rather badly.


Alla:

What do you mean, Pippin? I don't know about you but in that scene I 
did not doubt for a second who was more powerful - Dumbledore or 
Fudge. I frankly thought that Dumbledore can crush Cornelius very 
easily, if he chooses to, so I think that Snape knew that too, but 
that is just me.


Pippin:
This is something I don't really understand about the "Snape isn't 
really on the side of good, he's out for himself" theories.  Just 
what is Snape supposed to be out for? He's a clever wizard who knows 
a potion that feigns death -- he wouldn't have to join DD just to 
get shut of Voldie. If Snape doesn't care whether the good guys win, 
what is he after?


Alla:

Ummm, revenge for example?


Just my opinion,
