Potioncat:
At one time, I thought it was pretty interesting that Snape had 
protected Lupin... until I realised that Snape was really protecting 
Harry. That is, he was protecting Lupin to protect Harry. I don't 
know if Snape knew which Harry was the real Harry, but if he didn't, 
then he had to protect which ever one he was following---just in case 
it was really Harry. If he knew that this pair wasn't the Harry duo, 
then he really was looking out for the Order.

That's another strike against Snape as far as Minerva is concerned. 
As an Order member, she would know Snape  had taken part in the raid 
against Harry and had sliced George's ear. Must have been pretty hard 
for Ginny, too.

Now that I think of this, I don't know how Molly was able to send 
Ginny to Hogwarts. Molly must have been a basket case the whole time. 
(I would be.)
