I've seen people before say that there was no way Snape could know
what LV would do after he was told of the prophecy.  But after hearing
the prophecy I can't believe anyone would not believe that LV would go
after every boy born in the past, current and future year.  It would
only be "logical" for a psychopath who enjoys killing to kill
potential problems before they become big problems.  I'm a big Snape
fan and this is the only thing that makes me doubt he's DDM.
