a_svirn: Yeah, I rather think Snape thought so too. Which is why he

a_svirn: I wouldn't read too much in that. Voldemort clearly doesn't 
trust anyone and handles his DEs according to the good old "divide

a_svirn: If we are to accept your reading of `spin' and `spinning'  
then it has already ended: Snape drove himself to the point of
