Brady Writes:
   
"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?"

My Thoughts

Harry's account of Dumbledore's death at the hand of Snape must 
surely have been very convincing indeed.  Remus, McGonagall and other 
OOTP members, I suspect, were certainly relying on DD confidence and 
trust of Snape, however with the shock of DD's death they may well 
have not had the time to digest the events.  How much Order members 
knew of Snape's various missions given to him by DD, his 
collaboration with LV and relationship with the events at GH is 
somewhat speculative.  

I believe that Snape is DD's man, but the proof of that will be the 
big plot line for Harry, OOTP and readers in final book.
