Anne Squires:
In OotP DD was able to use Snape to plant the idea that LV go after
the prophecy at the DOM.  The prophecy was bait the get LV to reveal
himself to the WW.

In HBP Snape revealed the whole plot by LV to have Draco Malfoy kill DD.

In DH by making LV think that Snape was still his right hand man by
revealing when Harry would leave no. 4 PD this ensured that Snape
would be placed at Hogwarts where he could mitigate the worst of the
Carrows being there.  (Remember, Ginny, Nevile, and Luna had a
detention with Hagrid instead of with the cruciatus curse.) Snape
could also be in place to communicate with DD's portrait.  Snape
rescued the sword and gave it to Harry.  If he hadn't been at Hogwarts
he wouldn't have been able to do this.
