Kemper now:
Crouch Jr views Snape as a foe.
I'm sure he knows that Snape was released from any wrong doing based
on Dumbledore's word.  Even Voldemort thinks Snape is a foe throughout
(until Snape returns to him after the TWT), so if Crouch Jr and
Voldemort chit chatted about the old times and Snape's name came up,
I'm sure it wasn't in a good light.
Thus, Snape is a foe.

If Voldemort was coming up on Moody!CrouchJr, I wonder what the Foe
Mirror would show.  Does the Foe Mirror show one's true foes or his
perceived foes?

Kemper, who believes Snape is a true foe of Voldemort
