Could you please clarify what you meant here? As you know I will be 
the last person to defend Snape, but I am not sure how Snape is 
guilty of her death ( if he is good faith spy).

Are you saying that he helped Voldemort capture her or worse 
captured her himself and brought to Voldemort?

Because if he did - BOOOO Snape, BOOOO. ;)

But I am not sure where is it in canon, or did you mean something 
totally different?

Thanks.
