If I were Snape and had not alerted the Order about Harry, bringing
about the death of "the Chosen One," the ensuing discussion would have
involved someone asking Snape about the situation. What is Snape's
defense then? He didn't think of it? That no one thought of it
either? They're flimsy excuses, ones that I think he would be called
upon to explain further. In my opinion, it is illogical [to Snape and
anyone who has interacted with Harry in the past five years] to think
that Harry Potter wouldn't have found his way to the MoM, and this is
the point upon which my "argument" lies. Were it someone like
Neville, I would expect that the "I didn't think of it" excuse would
be valid, but Harry, in his years at Hogwarts, has proven himself very
much an "action before logical thought" person, and that is why I
think the "I didn't think he'd find a way" excuse wouldn't work.

>And so what if he was? Sure there would be some
who suspected him, especially those who distrusted
him already like Moody and Sirius, but what could
they prove? And what would it matter to DE!Snape if
some in the Order suspected him of being a traitor,
if he had managed to see Voldemort victorius and the
Chosen One dead? Snape had it in his power to make
that happen.
Nikkalmati:
If Snape had walked out of Umbridge's office and gone down to his office and
graded papers or had gone to bed, Harry and his friends would have died or
been captured by DEs and who would have known Harry had tried to alert him?
Was Umbridge going to tell anyone (even if she was up to it after her stay in
the hospital)?
Were Draco and friends going to tell the Order - hey, Harry tried to tell
Snape something, but he ignored it? I don't think so. Snape would have been
perfectly safe, LV would have the prophecy, and Harry would no longer be a
problem for anyone.
