great post snippage.....
Doddie here:

Well, knowing JKR's style....I wouldn't be surprised if Snape had 
created something like a DA group in his day......also, I wouldn't be 
surprised if the marauders had a spy in the group(Peter perhaps??)...
(ahhh can you imagine how angry that would make Snape and why he may 
have removed the memories that Harry glimpsed into the pensive...
(although I love the Lily/Snape thingy.....I think something more may 
motivate Severus. )

This would fit into the parallels between Harry and Snape....Can you 
imagine how angry Snape would be that Harry's DA group was more 
successful than his because he(Harry) put no limitations on who could 
join...(if Snape could create one....then being a member of slytherin 
he could/would only teach pure bloods.....)

Talk about irony.....perhaps this is the reason why DD saw his true 
lament..(did dd miss the Lily/Snape connection entirely because of his 
own experience???)...Did Snape actually want to teach everyone like 
Harry was doing in OOP or only those he thought worthy?(most likely)

Is this why DD made snape a teacher???? (is the hermione/snape 
interaction a clue to Snape's self loathing? How much of hisself does 
Snape see in Hermione?)


And of course, nonverbal spells would mean the most in 
HBP......because this has been how Harry has learned so much of the 
info which will keep him and others alive, not by folks telling him 
what they thought was going on...but his instinct on what was 
happening.(Perhaps this is a massive clue)

So why I hate Snape doesn't come into play....this is just some of my 
thought process as to why jkr placed snape/pp together in 
hbp..apparently it is significant to the plotline...(how could it not 
be?)

And since no one can come to a conclusion on Snape....then we must ask 
ourselves...WHY PP would act as servant to Snape in HBP...especially 
after the POA episode..

(who is off to read yet again the shrieking shack episode....and then 
the entire book--after which I know I will be compelled to read all 
the library segments in the series..--all hail irma! LOL)
