Potioncat:
Welcomed to the list, Jenny. I'm not sure if you've had time to 
notice how much we like to nitpick here. Arguing over itty-bitty 
details is what we do best.

So, are you talking about 2 different situations, by chance?

It sounds like you mean the convesation Hagrid overheard and told 
Harry about. Snape didn't want to do something, but DD seemed to be 
holding him to it? Harry didn't hear the actual conversation, he 
heard Hagrid's report of it. Most of are very cautious about 
Hargrid's reporting skills.

Potioncat:
I don't recall whether the vow was real ever being an issue.

Draco was insisting that Snape was really working for LV, not for DD 
and that Snape's only intent by interfering with Draco's plans, was 
so Snape could kill DD himself and steal the glory from Draco.

I'm very sure that DD knew all about the plan all along. But JKR has 
done a nice job of keeping the readers and the different characters 
from knowing what's really going on.

Potioncat, wondering if this makes Snape an Interferius?
