chrusotoxos:
If one beleives, as I do, that Snape is DDM, then it's true that hearing how he reacted after 
knowing part of the prophecy is disconcerting. But we have to keep in mind three things: 
one, he could have been forced to report to LV, or not skilled enough as an Occlumens to 
keep the information to himself (after all, he stumbled on that knowledge by mistake, as 
no one knew that ST was going to prophesy); two, maybe he hadn't realized to which ends 
LV would go for power; three, he could have understood only after the fact that his moral 
qualities wouldn't allow him to let children die, even it this would cause immense sorrow 
to his greatest enemies (the Potters).
