well, isn't the BIG QUESTION, the trick(so to speak), is Snape evil 
now?  Loyal to LV?  DD was duped?  

I am not sure where this idea that Snape isn't Snape came from.  It 
seems to have come up within the last day or so.  But at any rate, to 
trick us by having Snape not be Snape - what on earth does that buy 
us?  Is Snape dead or locked up somewhere?  Harry finds the "good" 
Snape and all is well again?  How is that forwarding the story in a 
decent way? Is Regulus Snape?  LOL...sorry, I have a thing about 
Regulus :)


I really am trying to understand where this idea sprung from, as I 
think that for over a year now, it wasn't even anything anyone doubted
(or at least it wasn't on the board)..
