Alla:

Hmmmm, in  light of our very limited knowledge of The Prank, I 
submit that Dumbledore's words to Snape may have sounded as following

" Since you went in to the Shack, knowing  that Remus was a 
werewolf, you bear at least partial responsibility for coming there 
in the first place".

" my memory is as good as ever" - I am still dying to know what did 
he mean by that.

Am I speculating ? Sure, I am, but I just cannot forget the focus on 
Snape reading the werewolf question on their DADA exam and him 
assigning the same question to Harry's class.

I also would not put past post-HBP Snape figuring out who Remus was  
AND wanting to kill him. Why? Let's say he loved Lily and thought 
that Remus could have a chance with her...

Ain't speculation fun? :-)




Just me of course,
