Potioncat:
Snape kept his promise to protect Harry. He was shocked to discover 
the purpose was changing from protecting Harry, to preparing him for 
slaughter. But, at any rate, if Snape wasn't the best choice, who was?

Why do you suppose DD chose Snape? Out of the midst of the disaster 
that Snape had contributed to, how did DD decide Snape was the one 
who would stick to his promise?
