On first reading HBP I concluded that Severus Snape had finally been 
revealed in his true colours, in that he is LV's man through and 
thorugh. This view has modified somewhat on closer analysis and 
rereadings, but I still think, due to certain sayings of JKR, that 
Snape is not a good man. I propose a new moniker for him, that is 
LANO!Snape. (Looking after number one).

To the point of this post. The chapter title of Chapter Two in HBP 
is IMO a play on words. I believe it has nothing to do with spiders 
or weaving.

My view is that it is a play on words, particularly the word spin, 
which is quite a buzzword in the UK (thinking particularly of 
Alistair Campbell and his fellow spin doctors).

JKR has quite often made plays on words and if I am correct then the 
chapter title is a large clue as to Snape's allegiance. It means the 
end of the spin that Snape is good. Whether this means he is truly 
ESE!Snape or LANO!Snape I have yet to fully determine, so it will be 
back to the books and interviews again for possible expansion.

Goddlefrood throwing this out in the hope that someone can prove me 
wrong
