lucianam:

Well, I almost never join Snape discussions because they've been so
many and so deep I always feel I'm barely scratching the surface
whenever I reply, which is btw the case. I believe Snape is innocent
(voted for
'I have always believed Snape was on the side of Good, and after
reading HBP, I am SURE of it' on the poll) even if I don't think canon
is absolute on it, so far. 

Well anyway, I'm here to ask you guys who frequently discuss ESE!
versus DDM! Snape, what do you think are the implications of Snape
knowing Harry is 'The Chosen One'? I was thinking about the old idea
of Snape's Animagus form being a spider. How easy for him, then, to
have heard Dumbledore and Harry talking in the Weasleys' broom shed.
(I did a yahoo!search and found a previous message on this, by finwitch:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/139841).

Being a believer in DDM!Snape I'm biased and think that was why he
protected Harry from the other DE when he escaped, for instance.

I suppose this could have been discussed before.
