Renee:
Yes, JKR loves plot twists, and I, too, expect to see a few more of
those in Book 7. But not everything is not what it seems. "What you
see is what you get" in all probabilty applies to more characters than
just Dudley Dursley. The point with JKR's plot twists is, that we
generally don't see them coming and don't know beforehand which
characters are what they seem, and which are not. 

So I'd rather change your "Whatever you see JKR is going to turn it
around" into "you never can tell what JKR is going to turn around".
The only problem I see with Snape is that all possibilities have been
discussed at length. When it comes to him, there's no way she's going
to surprise all readers - or is there?
