The Case Against Snape

I think you missed the best possible reason for Snape being a DE.  Now, 
personally, I'm in the Snape is a good guy camp, but here goes what I 
think is the most convincing reason snape is a bad guy.  

Sirius, in PoA, says that part of the reason that Pettigrew's been 
hiding for so long, is b/c the DE's in Azkaban aren't that happy with 
him.  They think that Pettigrew knew that Voldemort was going to meet 
his end at Harry's place, and they think that Pettigrew planned it that 
way.

So how is it, exactly, that the DE's in Azkaban knew that Pettigrew was 
a spy, but the DE's out of Azkaban (Snape,  specifically) didn't.  
Snape did, but chose not to tell Dumbledore b/c he didn't need to, his 
freedom was already assured.  The only reason Snape wouldn't tell 
Dumbledore that Pettigrew was the spy and Sirius wasn't is b/c he's 
still a loyal DE.
