Lisa:
This is the impression that I have gotten. After all if you
remember in the 1st book, Harry's scar hurt at the sight of Snape
when in the great hall. Coincidence or not? I guess we'll just
have to wait until the last book is out-after all the author has
suprised us several times.

Hello, all, this is my first time posting, but I just wanted to say- the argument for both sides of the Snape issue are good.  However, we must remember that in the first book, Harry's scar hurt not at the sight of Snape, but of Professor Quirrell who was next to Snape at the head table.  At that time we know that Voldemort had already begun using Quirrell's body, and that Harry's scar had begun to burn at the sight of 'him'.

Also, there is some reason- still unknown to us- that Dumbledore trusted Snape so.  Snape had, after all, made the unbreakable vow that if Draco was unable to carry through and kill Dumbledore, that he would do it.  It could be that the greater good will be served in the end by not giving himself away at that time.  Voldemort will have more reason than ever to believe, truly, that Snape is on his side.  This will give Snape further access to Voldemort, and in the end it could be that Snape has to assist Harry in some way in killing Voldemort once and for all.  After all, we all ready know that Snape is one of the most accomplished wizards in the dark arts.  It would take someone great to finally do Voldemort in, and it may be here that we see Snape's 'true' colors, to the good.
Just a thought, as we have had many surprises to this point.
