Aussie:
HBP ch2: Snape says to Bellatrix, ..."The Dark Lord is satisfied
with the information I have passed him on the Order. It led, as
perhaps you have guessed, to the recent capture and murder of
Emmeline Vance, and it certainly helped dispose of Sirius Black,
though I give you full credit for finishing him off.'
So Emmeline Vance was betrayed by Snape !!! How expendable are
friends to gain LV's confidence?
And Snape's dashing to the rescue in POA may have been because Peter
was in danger, not Harry.
We all wondered what was so fantastic about Peter Pettigrew to be
able to join the DE. His abilities were a distant last to the others
he hung around Hogwarts with.
What if Snape brought Pettigrew into the DE.
If Snape got Peter by himself sometime, Peter would have talked
using anything for his leverage which Snape used to bring Peter into
the DE. Snape was his handler and that is why LV sent Peter to live
at Spinner's End with Snape. Remeber:-
1/ Snape doesn't refer to any of the other Maraunders by their
animagi name, but he calls Peter "Wormtail".
2/ When he found the Map on Harry, and saw the names including
Wormtail, he immediately called Lupin to his office to explain the
parchment.
If Snape knew Peter was Wormtail all along, then he would have kept
an eye on the Weasley's rat every since Percy brought Scabbers to
Hogwarts.
Good!Snape ??? He held back a lot of information from DD.
