begin to imagine who it would be, if not Snape.

Ceridwen:
Okay, I'm answering twice to the same post.  I just had another 
thought on who might be Polyjuiced, though I still don't think this 
person was fleeing Hogwarts in Flight of the Prince.

What if LV himself was Polyjuiced to look like someone in only one 
scene?  Yes, I could see him on the tower; I can't see him on the 
lawn, and the problem of switching places intrudes.  I can't see him 
as Tonks - Harry's scar would have hurt, wouldn't it?  Even if not, I 
just can't see that.  Not LV, he would have rather killed Tonks and 
Harry, I think, and The Battle for the WW would have started in HBP.  
After all, LV would have been right there in Hogwarts...

So, when and where would LV have been Polyjuiced?  If at all, then at 
Spinner's End.  Still doesn't read quite right for the Snape of 
Spinner's End to be LV, but I think it would be more in his style to 
try and trap followers into revealing treacherous ways than to sneak 
around Hogwarts.  The other shoe didn't drop, neither Bellatrix nor 
Narcissa are reported dead or tortured after this.

But, since I do agree that someone was Polyjuiced as someone else, 
why not consider LV as a possible Polyjuiced Someone?
