I think that this was the opportunity that Snape needed - remember, DD
stated in GoF, in the trial scene, that Snape turned spy for them at
great personal risk. If Snape was the one who delivered Regulus to
DD, against Voldemort's orders that Snape kill Regulus - that is a
pretty big personal risk. 

vmonte responds:
It's not much of a personal risk if it was Voldemort's idea for Snape 
to go to Hogwarts, though. Remember Riddle was trying to get into 
Hogwarts for some reason and could not. Maybe Riddle sent Snape in 
instead.

colebiancardi:
shades of Mad-Eye Moony :) I take it from your postings that you are
in the ESE!Snape catagory and you probably have guessed by now I am in
the Good!Snape catagory or if worse comes to worse, the TW!Snape - Top
Wizard - catagory. I would rather have Snape be a character who is
always looking out for himself and his own priorities and once LV is
defeated, try to step into the power void left behind, as DD & LV are
now gone. But I would rather Snape be a nasty bastard who is still a
loyal member of the OotP.

vmonte:
Actually, I think that Snape is in the Top Wizard category. He is too 
much like Iago from Otthelo to be seen as anything else.

colebiancardi:
yes. SS/PS Diagon Alley - "Mr Ollivander fixed Harry with his pale
stare. "I remember every wand I've ever sold, Mr. Potter. Every
single wand. It so happens that the phoenix whose tail feather is in
your wand, gave another feather - just one another. It is very
curious indeed that you should be destined for this wand when its
brother - why, its brother gave you that scar"

vmonte:
What interests me more is whether this character is a DE or an Order 
member. Is Olivander one of the hooded DEs in the graveyard during 
GoF? Think about it. Tom was working in a store to collect trinkets 
to place his horcruxes in. 

What a better place to get information about future wizards than in a 
wand shop. And why stress the fact that Oli remembers all the wands 
ever sold and all the students? This guy is either working for 
Voldemort or Dumbledore. If he is working for Dumbledore he probably 
decided to flee when Amelia and the other wizards were killed. It 
sounds like Voldemort was given key information again by somebody.
