Indecisive!DD loses Snape, so to speak? Oh, no, I like that DD even 
less.

Potioncat:
Snape manages to get away from DD and AD. Once he's gone, what can 
they do? Now, that would make for an even more interesting return by 
Snape.

Potioncat:
Well, he left in risk a couple who were already at risk; a couple who 
were defying LV and would most likely continue so after the birth of 
their child. It isn't clear if DD knew Snape was a DE at that moment. 
He may have found out much later.

Potioncat: 
This is part of the reason I've thought Snape was already on DD's 
side. In this case, LV finds out, but DD knows exactly what he's 
being told and will find out exactly what he plans to do.

I waffle on this one though. I do like my new idea that Snape was 
following Trelawney on LV's orders and that's why he was there.
