Chys:

But WHY did Snape tell Voldemort in the first place? Am I to believe 
that he owed James a life-debt? Ok, then why did he give his 
information to Voldemort anyway- the prophecy, or was that because 
they didn't know it was his (James's) family specifically yet? If 
there was even a possibility that it could be his family, then Snape 
should have kept quiet due to the debt. I know it was Peter who gave 
them away, but it was Snape that got Voldemort on the hunt in the 
first place!


Chys, still doesn't see what DD saw in him, but thinks Snape is more 
OFH.
