Hi everyone,

I'm sure the "What side is Snape on?" question has been discussed ad 
nauseam, but I can't help but add my own two cents on the matter.  I 
was just re-reading GoF last night and noticed an interesting detail 
in the scene where Imposter Moody has just revealed himself to Harry 
as a DE and is about to kill him.  We're told that there are three 
shapes in the foe glass just before DD blasts the door open and 
stuns Imposter Moody, one shape corresponding to each of DD, 
McGonagall and Snape.  I'm assuming that Imposter Moody "tweaked" 
the foe glass so that his enemies, i.e., enemies of a Death Eater or 
enemies of the Dark Side, would show up in the glass, which makes 
sense of DD and McGonagall doing so.  It also makes sense of Snape 
doing so *if and only if he is on the side of the Order*.  If you re-
read that scene, JKR seems to make it a point to mention a second 
time that Snape is seen in the foe glass, and this time she mentions 
him specifically.

I don't think this is knock-down evidence for Snape being 
Dumbledore's man, but it's weighty evidence nonetheless.  I'm 
counting the days till we find out for certain.
