If Harry will find out about UV, how will it happen?

I just had a strange thought :)

Ceridwen:
Hee, I'm dying to hear it!

Alla:
> I am of the mindset that Harry will definitely find out about UV 
taking place in book 7. I just did not really consider before how 
will he find out.

Now, of course one way to find out is from Dumbledore pensieve. I do 
not really buy it personally, but not just because I am not the 
biggest fan of DD!M Snape, who told Dumbledore everything about UV

Ceridwen:
I do think Snape told DD everything.  But I am not a fan of random 
memories lying around for Harry to find.  That goes for notes, too.  
First, there is a war on.  Leaving random informaton lying around 
could allow the enemy to find it first.  There are plants at the 
Ministry who have been around for decades just waiting, like 
sleepers, to pick up with their jobs for LV.  Especially now with DD 
dead, there could be any number of spies, traitors and moles 
wandering Hogwarts just looking for something to get them catapulted 
into LV's favor.  It'll take a heck of a big thing to push Snape 
aside, after the end of HBP!

Second, if everything we've hoped would be left in a note or Pensieve 
memory actually appears as such, there will be no room for anything 
else in the books unless one note or memory could tie up several lose 
ends at once.  But again, see above: leaving random memories and 
notes around for just anyone to find would be dangerous.

Alla:
> The thing is theoretically if Harry will find out the way I am 
thinking he would, Snape can also be DD!M. Ooops for me then.

Ceridwen:
Hee!  Dropped your potion?  ;)

If the UV is important enough to come back to haunt DH, then I think 
it will lead to DDM!Snape any way it happens.  Only my opinion, 
though.

> Oh, another related thought that Peter on Voldemort's orders will 
inform Harry.

Thoughts?

Ceridwen:
I think this idea ties in neatly with the recent post about Voldemort 
possibly knowing Snape is really DDM, but needing him for the 
moment.  I'm sorry that I don't remember whose post that was!  After 
seeing the brutes sent to back Draco at Hogwarts, I can see LV biding 
his time until he can do away with all the DEs he needs right now, 
then doing them under after he conquers the WW.  Though Snape would 
be an asset to him both before and after, if he is DDM, then he will 
be gotten rid of once the battle is won.  Voldemort won't tolerate 
snakes in his bosom other than Nagini.

But, this would be a dangerous balancing act for LV.  Snape, being 
less pure brute and more of a thinker, would be poised to help Harry 
at the end if he is DDM.  And this would be a delicate time for LV, 
since everything hinges on his defeat of Harry, according to the 
prophecy.  In his eyes, I imagine that he must play the Snape line 
with finesse in order to maximize Snape's usefulness to him, but 
minimize his usefulness to the other side.
