Quick_Silver:
Agreeing with Alla here the Vance murder is the one thing that makes 
me doubt that Snape is completely reformed. 

Either it's a genuine slip up on Snape's part (i.e. an accident) at 
which point the idea of a competent spy!Snape is dealt a serious 
blow (which isn't a problem IMO...I've always thought that Snape was 
a rather pathetic spy to begin with). 

It could be a sign of Snape's undying loyalty to Voldemort but I 
don't think the series is headed in that direction.

Or it could be a warning that Snape really doesn't have any true 
morals and is a hypocrite. It'd be a bit rich if he's giving up 
Order members to mention his cover while scolding Harry for using 
Unforgivables.
