Why would an OFH!Snape make the Unbreakable Vow? After a brilliant 
career of playing the two most powerful wizards in a century off of 
one another, why would Snape make such a basic mistake?  Why would 
an OFH!Snape work so hard to save Harry's life in PS/SS?  Why would 
an OFH!Snape inform the Order that Harry is storming the MoM?  Why 
would an OFH!Snape show Fudge his dark mark?  How does Dumbledore 
serve an OFH!Snape's interests?  How does Voldemort serve them?  How 
does playing both ends against the middle serve an OFH!Snape?

I'm sure answers could be dug up for all of those questions.  But I 
don't think they'll be plain as day.  Some may even require a few 
leaps. <g>

Betsy Hp:
Why do any theories on Snape have to allow for change?  After all, 
it's *Harry's* coming of age story.  Snape is only important in 
reference to Harry.  And Harry will either discover Snape is ESE, 
have his revenge or justice or what not, and run off to become an 
official Weasley.  Or Harry will discover Snape is DDM, have a major 
moment of self-examination, become a man and... well, probably run 
off to become an official Weasley. <g>
