Heee, well done post. :-) It does seem that dear Severus may have 
more blood on his hands than we ever suspected.

Well, actually, on all other supposed victims the jury may be still 
out, but isn't it a given now that Snape INDEED at least partially 
responsible for James' death.

Simply by virtue of telling prophecy to Voldemort in the first palce 
he set the chain of events in making that lead to Potters' death.

I am thinking now that even if Snape will turn out to be innocent in 
Dumbledore's death ( which personally I doubt), he would never repay 
to Harry all that he owes to him, since he directly contributed to 
him becoming an orphan in the first place.

Agreed, also at home I have a link to Neri's brilliant post about 
Snape's not informing the Order about kids rushing to the ministry 
right away.

Hmmm, what was he waiting for in light of what we know now?


JMO of course,
