At first glance it may appear that Karkaroff's hearing changed all
that. He testifies in front of 200 people that Snape is a Death Eater.
Dumbledore is forced to come forward and indicate that Snape *was* a
Death Eater, but that he "is now no more a Death Eater than I am" and
that *before* Voldemort's fall, he "returned to our side" and spied on
the Death Eaters "at great personal risk." This statement is not made
in public; it is apparently a closed hearing before the Wizengamot.
Rita Skeeter certainly is not present as she was for Ludo Bagman's
hearing. Neither are any Death Eaters.

I have a question though.  There were as we discovered MoM people who are death eaters.  In OoTP we discovered that Avery was an unspeakable.  Whose to say that there aren't any on the Wizengamot that aren't DE's?  And there was also Rookwood, who almost got Ludo in Azkaban for passing info.  However, you would think that LV would know about Snape being a spy from people telling him.  If he does know then he's not saying anything or is he playing with Snape?  Is LV using Snape as a spy for LV and asked him to do this before the attack on the Potter's knowing ahead of time that it might turn bad?  Just a few things to ponder.

Mind still twirling with questions,

Amy
