Lucianam:

Good One.

I just wrote a reply to this Snape isn't evil thread, unfortunately
before I read your post, otherwise I'd have included this answer to
you.

I suspect Snape is loyal to Voldemort or a competing Dark-Lord-to-be,
but I just 'suspect'. I think it's possible that JKR pulls good Snape
in B7, though!

I too think he could have gotten off with NOT warning the Order. He
could have told DD he never understood what Harry meant by 'They got
Snuffles', he's a Occlumens after all. Dumbledore is no fool but Snape
could have taken that chance.

It's also difficult to imagine 'Loyalk-to-Voldemort-Snape' deciding
his precious role as a spy at Hogwarts was more important than
obtaining the prophecy.

Only one Huge Thing stands in the way of Snape's warning the Order
proving he's good: why didn't Voldemort punish him heavily for ruining
the Prophecy mission? Voldemort must have had reasons to believe
Snape's actions were acceptable. If Voldemort didn't question Snape's
loyalty as a DE because he warned the Order, why should we believe the
only explanation for Snape's doing so is his being loyal to Dumbledore?
