But this is why Snape is an "evildoer", imo. He's an accessory to a
crime. Without Snapes information, Voldemort would not have learned of
the prophecy and wouldn't have gone to Godric's Hollow to murder
Harry. The part Snape played in the murders of James and Lily are as
important as the part Voldemort played, which makes him no better,
morally or ethically, than Voldemort, imo. Just because he wasn't
doing the AK that night doesn't absolve him.
