Hum..I don't know, why would Voldemort do that? It doesn't make 
since to me. It seems more a reaction to what Moody said, more than 
Voldemort being involved? Maybe it could be that he was trying to 
torture Snape for not being there or calling his death eaters to 
him...I really don't know. Does Voldemort have that good of timing 
to--at the very moment Fake Moody is saying something about Spots 
that don't come off, (which obviously he is talking about the tattoo 
of the Dark Mark).
To then send out a signal, Is Voldemort seeing though Fake Moody's 
eyes? Meh, I don't know, but I don't think his timing is that good 
if he isn't, he would have to know exactly when Fake Moody said that 
statment, and thats the only thing I know that statment to mean.

Also if Snape is Loyal to Voldemort why is Fake M searching his 
office. Fake Moody he must realize he is not going to get caught. 
Snape only comes out of bed because he heard the egg wailing and the 
noise.

I'm sure Snape has known Moody for a long time, but, obviously we 
don't see his real reaction to the real Moody...or at least I can't 
remember any showing of it. I also remember near the begining of the 
book, I think Harry noticed that Snape was avoiding or was very 
warry of Moody. I also remember them talking about Moody as he was 
very suspect of everyone and everything, Was this fake moody or real 
moody they were talking about?? Was he this way before Fake took 
over, that is what I really want to know.

Obviously, if Moody worked for the Order then he would know Snape 
was a death eater. So, either that comment about Spots that don't 
come off is a REAL sort of comment Moody might make to Snape, or 
either, its a comment that is unusual, that would surprise Snape.
So either way, would that cause Snape to react in a physical way, as 
to grab his arm, without even thinking about it.
If the Dark Mark is such a touchy symbol, if Snape is ashamed of it 
or doesn't like it talked about in public, I would say, it might 
cause him to have a physical react to someone talking about it 
openly in that way. Meh, maybe Voldemort was calling them at that 
moment, I just don't read it that way, sorry, I read it as a 
reaction to what Moody just said to him.

Is Snape scared of Moody, maybe I was implying to much as far as 
scared, maybe I meant to say guarded respect. Scared doesn't mean 
you are a little girl hiding under the bed, being scare of someone 
doesn't mean you run away from them, it just means you are aware 
they can inflict pain on you..and you want to watch out and guard 
yourself when you are around them. Ss I said above I though I 
remembered them saying something about Snape being wary or avoiding 
Moody. I just don't see the argument on the stares as being 
something between friends, he was hissing at Moody, as if, there may 
be old feelings between them....Since Snape was a death Eater, could 
he not have been on Moody's hit list at one time, before he switched 
sides??

If auror's knew to look for Death Eaters, wouldn't they know Snape 
was one, since, I though I remembered some talk of a trial for 
Snape, so, more than a couple people were obviously aware he was a 
death eater, even if it is not wider public knowledge.
