But, if Snape was there, it means he had to know who the secret keeper 
was.  As much as he hated Sirius, I would expect he would have come 
clean to Dumbledore about who betrayed the order.

The only explanatio I can think of for that is that he thought Wormtail 
was dead, and figured he could let Sirius rot in Azkaban.  If Wormtail 
were caught, all might come clear, and Snape would be exposed for not 
telling all.  WHile it could work, it doesn't really fit for me.

I was thinking maybe Snape loves Lily because she is related to him.  
Dumbledore tells Draco there are ways to hide wizards, make it look 
like they have died.  Could one of Lily's parents, or grandparents been 
in hiding, pretending to be a muggle - thus Lily fully believing that 
she had to Wizard ancestors?  Spell Evans backwards, you get Snave - 
not to far off from Snape!  

I have always suspected there was more to Lily's family than we've been 
told.  Did Lily's attendance at Hogwarts make hiding that much harder?  
Her parents are dead, so maybe they were killed by LV (or someone else) 
because they were discovered.  Petunia would certainly hate everything 
associated with the wizarding world if Lily's talent brought about the 
death of her own parents.

I do wonder if Petunia has a bit of magic within her, and if she will 
be the one to come to her ability later in life.  I would think she is 
in as much danger as Harry - Harry is protected at Privet drive as long 
as he can call it his home.  If something happened to Petunia, I doubt 
Harry could call Privet Drive his home anymore.
