Betsy Hp:
(Oops!  I meant to reply to this in my last post!)  This is an 
excellent point, Jen, and one I do agree with. (Which is why it's 
excellent, of course. ;-))  Harry's obsessive hatred of Snape 
(blinding hatred at times) is, I think, a very bad thing.  And that 
is a place where Voldemort could easily hit him.  Because Voldemort 
would *gladly* give Harry Snape if it meant Voldemort's survival.

And this is information that an ESE character could well slip to 
Voldemort, who I agree would know *exactly* how to exploit it.  
Hatred is Voldemort's forte after all.

Yeah, *that's* what I'm doing! <bg>
