Goddlefrood:

As Snape himslef answered to one of Bellatrix's questions in 
Spinner's End how could he possibly occlude his thoughts from the 
greatest Legilimens of all time? (meaning LV).

Bellatrix bought this, but Snape was rather boastful throughout that 
chapter, and indeed throughout the series. Probably with some 
justification as he appears to be in the top three most powerful 
wizards in the series.

I sincerely hope that Snape will turn out to be "good" as Harry will 
have severe problems if he is truly with LV. Perhaps Aberforth will 
transpire to be an extraordinarily powerful ally for Harry, but even 
then Snape and LV on the same side would be a formidable opposition, 
not to mention Bellatrix and the often underestimated Peter.

One piece of evidence that is apparently overlooked in the whole 
Snape debate is that he never betrayed Remus to Greyback (and who 
would?). Snape would not be much of a spy if he was unaware of 
Remus's role now would he?
