Nonsense, if he was Voldemort's man (and I don't think he was) he
would have every reason to watch over Draco "as he attempts to fulfill
the Dark Lord's wishes"

I believe this lifetime debt business is vastly overrated, just
another of Dumbledore's many mistakes. Harry saved Wormtail's life 
in book 3 but that didn't stop him from helping to torture Harry in
book 4.

I believe it makes absolutely perfect sense for reasons I've explained
more than once. But I'll tell you what doesn't make sense, I'll tell
you what's absolutely screwy, I'll tell you what's completely insane,
it's the idea that Snape vowing to murder Dumbledore proves that Snape
is loyal to Dumbledore. Even JKR couldn't make a good book out of that
cockeyed premise.
