Magpie:
First, Snape's somehow managed to have Bellatrix jealous back in HBP 
when he's been sitting at Hogwarts for years. Voldemort's affections 
for Snape are not fleeting. He's really into him.

But it still seems silly that Snape's glory for KILLING DUMBLEDORE 
will disappear because he's just one more DE who doesn't have the 
information that Yaxley is bringing him? Did Snape get in trouble for 
not passing any information that would have helped at the MoM?

Snape's just pulled off the most effective thing ever, and this 
information pales in comparison. I almost need more explanation for 
why the Carrows are joint-headmasters instead of the more obvious 
choice of Snape. If Voldemort's good favor is *that* fleeting it's 
nonexistant. Snape kills the only one Voldemort ever feared and that 
gets him a nice chair for two weeks...but knowing this date makes him 
headmaster. HBP has given me far stronger reasons for Snape to be 
headmaster. This undermines it rather than strengthening it.

Magpie:
Why doesn't Snape just leave his source as dried up when *Snape* 
deserts the Order? That's where Snape was supposed to be getting his 
information originally, right? Isn't the only reason Snape supposedly 
has Mundungus as a source only for this one bit of information? 
(Mundungus is dragged along against his will on this mission, right?) 
Meanwhile the Order isn't told about this, Snape really is spying on 
them now.
