Jen: HAHA, oh yes, in a heartbeat.  Although nah, he wouldn't because he
knew Dumbledore wouldn't want that and it turns out Snape was Dumbledore's
man through and through, yes?  As thoroughly or more than Harry because
Snape had no one else to depend on like Harry did.  


Sherry:

Actually, I think Snape was Lily's man through and through, not
Dumbledore's.  I'm not saying that to demean his devotion to lily after all
those years, or to ignore the things we saw, in DH, like the one that was
the most moving for me, telling Phineas not to call Hermione a "mudblood".
I'm just saying that Snape's true heart loyalties were not to DD; they were
to Lily, so he wasn't really DDM in my opinion.
