Potioncat:
What if Bella had known all along that Snape was a spy for LV? If 
Snape was spying for LV, then of course he couldn't be involved in 
any of the more public events, could he? He could slither right out 
of them. So I don't think he was saying anything that Bella didn't 
know.

It helps to explain why Sirius Black had never heard that Snape was a 
DE. Snape hadn't been involved in most of the other activities. I 
think LV intended all along to have the little oddball who was up to 
his ears in DADA (LV's viewpoint) infiltrate Hogwarts.

Snape's wording reminds Bella of how long he's been serving.


Potioncat, who somehow snipped all of Mike's comments, but was 
agreeing with his timeline for Snape's activities.
