Pippin:
If Voldemort knew all along about Harry's feelings for Sirius, why
would he bother appealing to Harry's curiosity about the prophecy
first? 

No, I think canon already tells us the information Snape must have
given about  Sirius. The Malfoys must have already known that Sirius
was back in England  and sheltered by Fidelius, or they
would have leaked the information to the ministry when they
spotted him on the platform.


But  why should the DE's need to kill personally
unless, like Voldemort, they enjoy it? They can use Imperius to
get others to do their killing for them. Do you think that
every member of a real life terrorist group is a hit man? Nonsense.

Pippin:
Arranging the death of someone to whom you owe your life, plus 
his  wife who defended you from bullies,  and their infant son
sounds pretty bad to me. Not to mention all the poisons Snape
could have prepared or the curses he could have taught to others.
