Brady:

But Sridhar, coming to the Snape point again - we all have deduced 
enough of the canon to understand that Snape agreed to become a spy 
long before Lily was murdered by LV. So I donot think the repentence 
was because of that.

On the same note, this is a general question. If *WE* are able to put 
two and two together and come to conclusion that Snape was already a 
spy for DD before GH happened, how come people in the Order (Remus 
and Minerva) agree to Harry's account in the hospital wing that DD 
trusted him because Snape repented being the cause for James' and 
Lily's deaths? Are they acting or not-in-the-know or plain dumb as 
far as mathematics is concerned?

Just wondering,
Brady.
