Bart:
	This goes to what is becoming my favorite theory about Snape; he IS 
evil, but considers Voldemort such a major menace that he is willing to 
ally himself with the Order. Consider, for example, a con artist who 
takes advantage of the greed of others falling upon a den of terrorists. 
If he helps out the government, he is no less evil; it's just that he is 
willing to help stop an even greater evil.
