Hi All - 

 

I've been lurking on this list for a week or so. This is my first post, so
forgive me if I make any faux pas.

 

I've been following this thread with interest. While I agree with Ginny that
the quote from POA indicates that at least some DE knew about PP,

I don't think that this means Snape did. LV, while addressing the DE's
during the graveyard scene in GOF, makes reference to a DE whom he believes
has left him forever.

I think that he is referring to Snape, but if so, doesn't this mean that
Snape was no longer a double agent? That LV believed him to have totally
gone over to the other side?

In that case, it is very possible that Snape would have no knowledge of PP
as a DE, or of any further DE activity immediately prior to the events in
Godric's Hollow. If LV is not referring to Snape, I have no idea what to
think!
