Alla:

Well, sure the issue of Snape's allegiance **is** big, no argument 
from me here, but that is not quite what I meant. I mean, sort of 
but not quite.

What I am trying to say that revealing that character comes back 
from the **supposed** death ( as I mentioned, I don't think that 
anybody will come back from real death, we IMO will just learn that 
the character never died in the first place), **if** it happens of 
course, should be very dramatic issue to deal with by itself, IMO.

I am not sure that JKR will waste the drama on Evelyn Vance, if it 
makes sense. As I said this is all just speculation obviously, so 
feel free to disregard.

It sort of does not feel dramatic enough  to me if the return from 
dead and in book 7, no less, will only be circumstantially tied to 
Harry. Am I making sense at all?

Harry only saw her once, would he even care if she is back? I mean, 
besides her vouching for Snape, who cares? I know I don't. :)

Oh, and again this reason does not have much to do with Snape's 
loyalties.

Let's say we will learn that somebody else killed Emmelyne, if Snape 
is DD!M (groans ;), so that can be dealt with, but I think that 
return from **dead** if that happens will be character with direct 
ties to Harry.

See, I am pretty sure that one way or another Snape will be there at 
the end, but I still think that Harry is **more** important 
character than Snape ever will be. :-)

But of course you can be right, since this is just speculation based 
on the **missing line**, hehe.

JMO,
